Chemical Reactivity Flashcards
Acidic Solutions Properties
Proton Doners
Turns litmus red and phenophalin colorless
Neutralized by Bases
pH <7 (less than 7)
Catalyst
A substance which speeds up and increases the rate of reaction without being used up by creating an alternative energy pathway with a lower activation energy for the reaction
KC (very large)
Forward reaction would’ve gone to completion
Acts as both an base and an acid
Amphiprotic
KC >1
At equilibrium products will be favored
Partly ionizes
Two arrows
Completely Ionizes
1 arrow
Kc <1
At equilibrium the reverse reaction will be favored.
Reaction Rate
The frequency of successful collisions of that will occur in a given time
POH formula
POH=-log (OH-)
Pkw=Ph+POH
Pkw is..
14
Solid to liquid- Liquid to gas
Endothermic
Gas to Liquid, liquid to solid
Exothermic
(OH-) formula
10-POH
Units for enthalpy change
KJ or KJ mol-1
Le chataliers Principle
When a change is made to a system at equilibrium, the system responds to reduce the effects of the change
Activation Energy
The minimum amount of energy that is required before the reactants can successfully collide and react with each other. The energy barrier of a reaction.
Conductivity of a solution
Depends on the total concentration of ions in a solution
Bond Breaking
Endothermic
