Chem 30 Flashcards
Equilibrium,
What is a dynamic equilibrium?
- is reversible
- All observable properties appear constant
- No matter is exchanged
-> constant temperature - Either direction can be approached from
What is phase equilibrium?
Single substance in different states of matter. Kettle water is evaporated and condensed constantly.
What is solubility equilibrium?
a saturated solution
-> a rate of dissolving and rate of crystallization are happening at equal rates.
How to determine whether the reaction is products or reactants favoured?
% yield < 50% reactants favoured
% yield > 50% products favoured
Kc > 1 favours products
Kc < 1 favours reactants
Within acid/base reactions
By looking at the acid relative strength chart in your data book.
If the acid is higher up than the base it is products favoured
If the base is higher than the acid it is reactants favoured.
What is the equilibrium constant?
products/ reactants
using the concentrations of the gaseous and aqueous substances.
Temperature is the only thing that changes the Kc
What is the approximation rule?
If the reactants/ Kc is greater than 1000 you can disregard the change in concentration.
What is Le Chatelier Principle?
Think purely what it is not the specifics.
Predicting the affect change has on equilibrium.
There are going to be questions on the different changes.
In regards to Le Chatelier Principle
What affect does a change in concentration have on equilibrium?
Increasing the concentration of a substance will cause the reaction to move in the opposing direction.
If you decrease the concentration of a substance it will cause the reaction to move in the direction of the reduced concentration.
In regards to Le Chatelier Principle
What affect does Pressure/Volume have on equilibrium?
+P -V = less moles side of reaction gets created more.
Vice versa
In regards to Le Chatelier Principle
What affect does Temperature have on equilibrium?
Increase in temp. will shift the reaction to reduce heat (more endothermic)
Vice Versa
What is the water ionization constant?
And what is the equation of the water ionization constant?
1.00 x 10^ -14 at SATP
Kw = Ka x Kb
How do strong acids ionize?
Completely
Reaction is > 99.9%
How do weak acids ionize?
less than 50%
What is the equation of % ionization?
% ionization= acid/base over weak acid/base
What is the Bronsted - Lowry Acid-Base Concept?
Acid = proton donator
Base = proton acceptor
What is amphoteric/amphiprotic?
Substance can act as an acid or base.
What compounds are not considered Organic?
Oxides- CO,CO2
Ionic compounds- CO3 2-, CN-

Nomenclature
How do you name an aliphatic compound?
- longest chain is parent chain.
* use prefix for # of C
* suffix for the type of aliphatic compound - Branching
* name the chain with prefix add yl
* number before for the C # where it branches
* make branch # as low as possible
between #s commas
between #s and words dashes
