Q

Physical factor which affects Kw

19
Q

Difference between concentrated and strong

A

Concentrated means may mol per dm3

Strong refers to amount of dissociation

20
Q

What is a weak acid and weak base

A

Do not fully dissociate in water.

Only partially dissociate into their ions

21
Q

Examples of strong acids

A

HCl
H2SO4
H3PO4

22
Q

Examples of strong bases

A

NaOH
CaCO3
Na2CO3

23
Q

Examples of weak acids

A

CH3COOH

24
Q

Examples of weak bases

A

NH3

25
Q

Expression for Ka (strong acid)

A

Ka = [H+][A-] / [HA]

26
Q

How to work out pH of a weak acid

A

Use Ka - substitute values [A-] and [HA]

Use pH = -log[H+]

27
Q

What is a titration

A

The addition of an acid/base of known titration to a base/acid of unknown titration to determine its concentration

28
Q

Define equivalence point

A

The point at which the exact volume of base has been added to just neutralise the acid

29
Q

What generally happens to pH of solution around equivalence point

A

Large and rapid change in pH, except in weak-weak titration

30
Q

How to calculate conc of a reactant if volume of it and volume and conc of other reactant are known

A

Calc mol of one reactant
USe balanced equation
USe cone = mol/vol to calculate conc

31
Q

What is the end point

A

The volume of acid or alkali added when the indicator just changes colour. If right indicator is chosen - equivalence point = end point

32
Q

Properties of a good indicator

A

Sharp colour change
End point same as equivalence point
Distinct colour change

33
Q

Indicator used for strong acid - strong base titration

A

Phenopthalein or methyl orange

34
Q

Indicator used for strong acid-weak base titration

A

Methyl orange

35
Q

Indicator used for weak acid - strong base titration

A

Phenolpthalein

36
Q

Indicator used for weak acid - weak base titration

A

Neither methyl orange or phenolpthalein as neither give sharp change at end point

37
Q

Colour of methyl orange in acid and alkali. What pH does it change at

A

Acid: Red
Alkali: Yellow
Changes at 4-5 pH

38
Q

Colour of phenolpthalein in acid and alkali. What pH does it change at

A

Acid: Colourless
Alkali: Red
Changes at 9-10 pH

39
Q

What is the half-neutralisation point

A

When volume = half the volume that has been added at the equivalence point

40
Q

Define a buffer solution

A

A solution that can resist changes in pH when small amount of acid / alkali are added

41
Q

What do acidic buffer solution contain

A

A weak acid and a soluble salt of that acid that fully dissociates

42
Q

Reaction of acidic buffer with added acid

A

A- + H+ –> HA

opposes addition of H+

43
Q

Reaction for acidic buffer with added alkali

A

HA + OH- –> H20 + A-

44
Q

How else can an acidic buffer solution be made

A

Neutralise half of a weak acid with an alkali

Forms a weak acid / soluble salt mixture

45
Q

What do basic buffer solutions contain

A

Weak base and a soluble salt of that weak base

46
Q

How to calculate pH of buffer solutions

A

Use Ka of weak acid
Calculate [H+]
Calculate pH

47
Q

How to calculate new pH of buffer solution when acid or base is added

A

Calc number of mol of H+ and A - and HA before addition of acid or base
Work out new mol of A- and HA
Find [H+]
Calculate pH
