Equilibria of Other Classes Flashcards
Solubility Product Constant (Ksp)
Equilibrium constant for the dissolution of an ionic compound
Molar Solubility
Solubility of a compound expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L)
Selective Precipitation
Process in which ions are separated using differences in their solubility with a given precipitating reagent
Common Ion Effect
Effect on equilibrium when a substance with an ion in common with the dissolved species is added to the solution; causes a decrease in the solubility of an ionic species, or a decrease in the ionization of a weak acid or base
Coordinate Covalent Bond (Dative Bond)
Covalent bond in which both electrons originated from the same atom
Lewis Acid-Base Chemistry
Reactions involving the formation of coordinate covalent bonds
Lewis Base
Any species that can donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond
Lewis Acid
Any species that can accept a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond
Lewis Acid-Base Adduct
Compound or ions that contains a coordinate covalent bond between a Lewis acid and a Lewis base
Complex Ion
Ion consisting of a central atom surrounding molecules or ions called ligands via coordinate covalent bonds
Ligands
Molecule or ion acting as a Lewis base in complex ion formation; bonds to the central atom of the complex
Formation Constant (Kf) (Stability Constant)
Equilibrium constant for the formation of a complex ion from its components
Dissociation Constant (Kd)
Equilibrium constant for the decomposition of a complex ion into its components
Coupled Equilibria
System characterized the simultaneous establishment of two or more equilibrium reactions sharing one or more reactant or product
