Exam 3 Flashcards
Lewis acid
accepts a pair of electrons, compounds with less than an octet around the central atom can and metal ions act as lewis acids, negatively charged
Lewis base
donates a pair of electrons
coordinate bond
a covalent bond formed when one anion/molecule donates a pair of electrons to another ion/molecule
ligand
a lewis base bonded to the central metal ion of a complex ion
complex ion
ionic species consisting of a metal ion bonded to one or more lewis bases
formation constant (Kf)
an equilibrium constant describing the formation of a metal complex from a free metal ion and its ligands
Trend with acid strength and cation charge
direct
Nonamphoteric hydroxides
- Fe(OH)3
- Fe(OH)2
- Cu(OH)2
Amphoteric hydroxides
- Al(OH)3
- Pb(OH)2
- Sn(OH)2
- Be(OH)2
- Zn(OH)2
- Cd(OH)2
- Cr(OH)3
how do common ions affect solubility?
common ions decrease solubility, but don’t affect the solubility product constant
How do uncommon ions affect solubility?
the increase solubility
when can you neglect s?
when it is <0.01
Affect of pH on salt solubility
acidity increases the solubility of salts with basic anions due to shift in equilibrium reactions, weaker acids increases solubility more
Q and Ksp relationship and effects
Q>Ksp, precipitate forms
Q
reversible process formula
△S=qrev / T
Second law of thermodynamics
Irreversible: △Suniverse=△Ssurroundings+△Ssystem>0
Reversible: △Suniverse=△Ssurroundings+△Ssystem> or = 0
Standard molar entropy trends
Gases and molecules with the highest molar mass have the highest molar entropies. Entropy increases as the complexity of the molecular structure increases
Which △G values indicate spontaneity in which direction?
△G<0: spontaneous in forward direction
△G>0: spontaneous in reverse direction
