exam 2 Flashcards
often contain species that interact with one another and water to yield two or more simultaneous equilibria
Aqueous Solutions
equations relate the equilibrium concentrations of various species in a solution to one another and to the analytical concentrations of the various solutes
mass balance
these equations are a direct result of the conservation of mass and moles
mass balance
must account for all positively charged (sodium and hydronium ions) and negatively charged (acetate and hydroxide ions) species in solution.
The charge balance
Substances that, when dissolved in water, dissociate into ions, and can conduct electricity.
electrolytes
When an acid gives a proton, it becomes a potential proton acceptor.
conjugate base
a state in a chemical reaction where the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time, as the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction
chemical equilibrium
a solvent that can both accept and donate protons, behaving as both a Bronsted-Lowry acid and base.
amphiprotic
the analytical concentration of acid and conjugate base are ___________ when an acid has been half neutralized
identical
