Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
concentration value of solid or solvent in equlibrium constant equation
1
effect of catalyst on equilibrium constant and position
no effect, equilibrium is just reached faster
effect of temperature change on equilibrium constant and position
if temp increased, endo reaction favoured
if temp decreased, exo reaction favoured
(if moved to left, K will decrease)
K
equilibrium constant
equilibrium in water and aqueous solutions
equilibrium between water molecules and hydrogen and hydroxide molecules
H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
H30+ (aq)
same as H+, hydronium ion
Kw
dissociation constant of water, value of ionic product varies with temp
value of Kw at 25oC
1.0 x 10-14
amphoteric and example
can act as an acid and a base, depending on environment, ex. water, aluminium oxide
strong acid
completely dissociates in aqueous solution, regardless of concentration eg. nitric, hydrochloric
weak acid
partially dissociates in aqueous solution eg. methanoic, carbonic
equilibrium postion in weak acid dissociations
well to the left, very little H+ ions in acid solution
bases
substances that can reaction with H+ to form water
strong base
ionic and dissociate completely, ex. metal hydroxides
weak base
partially dissociate, ex. ammonia and amines
strong base pH and conductivity
high pH (13-14) and conductivity
weak base pH and conductivity
low pH (11-12) and conductivity
salts of a weak acid and strong base give
alkaline solution
salts of strong acid and weak base give
acidic solution
salts of strong acid and stong base give
neutral solution
stoichemistry
numerical propotions of substances involved in a reaction
concentrations of H+ and OH- in water at 25C
10^-7 mol
bronsted- lowry defintion of acids and bases
acids= proton donators
bases= proton acceptors
conjugate base and acid= formed by acceptance and donation of protons
