CHAPTER 21- FURTHER ASPECTS OF EQUILIBRIA 🤎 Flashcards
Define a conjugate acid and conjugate base for two marks each
❤️
What is an equilibrium reaction? (AS level recap)
❤️
Along with the definition of a conjugate acid and conjugate base, use an equation for the reaction between ammonia and water to explain which is the conjugate acid and which is the conjugate base
❤️
Use an equation for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and water to explain the concept of conjugate base pairs
❤️
Define pH, write it’s formula and the formula for finding the concentration of hydrogen ions
-Calculate the value of pH and [H+] using the examples in your notes
❤️
Explain how to calculate the pH values of strong acids using an example in your notes
-which assumption is made when calculating the ph of strong acids?
❤️
Explain how to calculate the pH values of strong bases using an example in your notes (include the definition + equilibrium expression for Kw as well as the equation for the calculation of [H+] from Kw)
-which assumption is made when calculating the ph of strong bases?
❤️
What is pKa? what is the formula for pKa? -Explain what high and low pKa values mean
❤️
Explain how to calculate the pH of a weak acid by finding Ka using examples in your notes (include the definition + equilibrium expression for Ka as well as the equation for the calculation of [H+] from Ka)
-Explain what high and low Ka values mean
❤️
Define a buffer solution, state three ways a buffer solution can be made
❤️
Explain how a buffer solution can be made by mixing a weak acid with one of it’s salts in detail, using an example
❤️
Using an equation, explain how buffer solutions control pH IN DETAIL
❤️
State three uses of buffer solutions
❤️
Use an equation to explain the use of hydrogen carbonate ions as buffer solutions in our blood IN DETAIL
❤️
Use a formula to explain how we calculate the pH of a buffer solution when it’s made from a weak acid and it’s salt, practice this using an example in your notes (include the formula relating [H+] and Ka)
