17
Q

what is the equivalence point

A

area with drastic ph increase,where moles of added strong acid/base is equal tp moles of unk base/acid at beginning

18
Q

for a weak acid (strong base) where is equivalence point

A

ph>7

19
Q

for a weak base (strong acid ) where is equivalence point

A

ph<7

20
Q

for a strong acid (strong base) and vice versa where is equivalence point

A

ph=7

21
Q

what is half equivalence point? what is important to note in this area

A

the half equivalence point is where 1/2 was added and only 1/2 was converted/ pKa of unknown substance is equal to pH at this point (straight line up on graph)

22
Q

for pH calculations, how do you solve for a strong acid/base? weak acid/base?

A

strong acid/base will have H+ conc= acid conc ex. H+= 0.01 M gives pH= 2 when you use -log of H+
weak acid/base: you need to fill table out with initial conc and use formula

23
Q

what does Ka or Kb need to be for x to be negligible in a pH calculation

A

less than 10^-4

24
Q

what is a neutralizing rxn?

A

when an acid and base combine and creates a salt and water

25
Q

in a neutralizing rxn, what do strong acids/bases to do pH? weak acids/bases?

A

strong acids with strong bases will produce a neutral pH.
weak bases with weak acids will NOT produce a solution with a neutral pH

26
Q

what is important to note about ALL neutralizing rxns?

A

they will all go to completion

27
Q

what cation do NOT interact with water

A

group 1 ions and large group 2 ions

28
Q

what cations DO interact with water

A

metals in black D like Cr, Cu, etc because they are strong acids

29
Q

what anions do NOT interact with water

A

conjugate base of a strong acid because its weak

30
Q

what anions DO interact with water

A

strong conj base than H2O of weak acids

31
Q

an ideal buffer has

A

pH=pKa

32
Q

with an indicator, if you have H+> Ka, what color do we see?

A

color #1 because it favors reverse rxn

33
Q

with an indicator, if you have H+< Ka, what color do we see?

A

color #2 because it favors forward rxn

34
Q

with an indicator, if you have H+= Ka, what color do we see?

A

mixing of both colors

35
Q

what is a half equivalence point

A

where strong acid/base neutralized all unk base/acid and Ph=pKa

36
Q

at the beginning of a titration where there isnt much pH change, what is this called

A

buffering region

36
Q

what is equivalence point

A

moles of added strong acid/base is equal to moles of unk base or acid at the beginning

37
Q

what is equation that we use when we want to know how much of something we need to neutralize or titrate?

A

a * [A] * Va= b *[B] * Vb where V is volume, a is one, and [A/B] moles of substance

38
Q

Ka and Kb have what kind of relationship?

A

inverse

39
Q

when you hyperventilate, what occurs to bicarb ions

A

decrease

40
Q

what is the only thing that will affect Kw

A

temp
