Final Flashcards
What is this equation I=q/t ?
Current(amp)=heat/time
How do you identify a neutral salt?
Neutral salts are neutral because they contain neither of conjugate acids of weak bases or conjugate bases of weak bases. Neutral salts are typically formed from neutralisation between strong acids and strong bases. Other examples of neutral salts include: Potassium chloride.
Strong Acids
HClO4
HI
HNO3
HCl
HBr
H2SO4
Strong Bases
NaOH
Ca(OH)2
KOH
CsOH
LiOH
Ba(OH)2
Weak Acid
HCOOH
HNO2
CH3COOH
HCN
HF
Weak Bases
NH3
(CH3)2NH
CH3NH2
What makes it a strong acid?
Completely dissociates
How to determine Ka from pH?
pH+pOH=14
pH=-log[H+]
Ka=[H+][A-]/[HA]
Identify Conjugate acid/base pairs.
H2O + HCl -> H3O+ + Cl-
Base, Acid, Conj Acid, Conj Base
What is the Lewis Acid Definition?
A compound or ionic species which can accept an electron pair from a donor compound. A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.
What is the Brønsted-Lowry Definition?
A Brønsted-Lowry acid is any species that can donate a proton and a base is any species that can accept a proton.
What is a Buffer and what makes it?
A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. It is made with a weak acid/base with its conjugate.
How to find pH when you add a titrant?
Calculate Ka from a concentration and pH
Make ice table with concentration
Use pH to to find [H+]
Plug that into table
Solve for Ka
What is the Equivalence of Strong Base and Weak Acid?
Above 7
What is the Equivalence of Weak Base and Strong Acid?
Lower than 7
What is the Equivalence point of Strong Base and Strong Acid?
Equal to 7
NH3 (ammonia)
Weak base because it undergoes partial dissociation and forms hydroxide ions into an aqueous solution
Strong acid and Weak acid which is more prevalent and why?
Weak acid is most prevalent because you will never have as much in the end as you do when you start.
What does the number of humps on a titration graph show?
The number of ionizable hydrogens
Alpha Particle
4 over 2 with He or a
Beta Particle
0 over -1 with e or B
Gamma Radiation
0 over 0 with Y or v
Neutron
1 over 0 with n
Proton
1 over 1 with H or P
Positron
0 over +1 with e or B
What is Nuclear Fission?
Atoms are split apart (releases energy)
