A

10^-pH

17
Q

if pH value is greater than the pOH value, what is true about the solution?

A

basic

18
Q

if pH value is less than pOH, what is true about the solution?

A

acidic

19
Q

what does a low ionization constant mean?

A

negligible/won’t change or ionize a significant amount

20
Q

hydrolysis of salts reaction:

A

acid + base –> salt + water

21
Q

what does amphoteric mean?

A

can act as an acid or a base

22
Q

what is a buffer?

A

solution that will resist changes in pH

23
Q

what is common ion effect?

A

shift in equilibrium caused by addition of a compound having an ion in common with the dissolved substance

24
Q

Henderson hasselbach equation:

A

pH=pKa +log ([base]/[acid])

25
Q

what is the equivalence point in titrations?

A

point at which the reaction is complete

26
Q

what is an indicator?

A

substance that changes color at or near the equivalence point

27
Q

if you are titrating a strong acid and a strong base, what is the equivalence point?

A

~7

28
Q

what is Ksp?

A

solubility product constant

29
Q

what is solubility?

A

amount of solute that dissolves (g/L)

30
Q

what is molar solubility?

A

moles of solute dissolved in 1L of a saturated solution (moles/L)

31

what does a high Ka value indicate?

A

strong acid

32
Q

if a Ka value is given to us, what can be assumed about the solution?
