Finals Review Flashcards
Mass
Force required for acceleration
Independent of distance to earth center
Molarity
1 molar solution contains one mole of solute in one liter solution
Formality
One formal solution contains one FW of solute in 1 liter of solution
Normality
1 normal solution contains 1 equivalent weight of solute per liter of solution
Significant figures
Number of digits needed to express a result consistent with given or measured precision
Accuracy
Agreement between measured and true or accepted values
Precision
Reproducibility between replicate measurements
Determinable
Can be avoided or corrected. Also called systematic errors
Mass balance equation
For particular type of species. The sum of the added amounts must be equal to the s of all possible forms existing in the system
Colloidal precipitates
Small particles (1-100 nm), Tyndall effect
Crystalline precipitates
Diameter of negligible inches. Most desirable for analysis
Nuclear ion
Small aggregates form.
The formation of minimum size stable precipitate
Particle growth
Additional molecules deposit on growth nucleus
Supersaturation
SS
solution that contains more solute than would be present at equilibrium, which leads to precipitate formation
Weight
Attraction of earth
Distance to center of earth important
Titration
Determination by unknown reaction or reagent
End point
Empirical approximation of equivalence point
Indicator
Provides visual determination of end point
Back titration
End point is intentionally exceeded, then the excess titrant is titrated
Useful when forward end point is difficult to see
Useful when complete reaction is difficult to achieve
Volthard method
Excess Ag+ added to remove all X-
Excess Ag+ is back titrated with SCN- when all Ag+ is removed, SCN- reacts with Fe3+
Fabians method
Precipitate formed before equivalence point. Will have slight negative change due to adsorbed X-
After equivalence point, precipitate particles will have a slight positive charge due to adsorbed Ag+
Anionic dyes will be attracted to positively charged particles to form colored adsorbents
Kjeldahl procedure
Determine Nitrogen in biological samples
Buffers
Resistant to pH change due to moderate additions of H+ or OH-
Buffer capacity
Number of miles of strong acid or base that must be added to the buffer solution to change pH by 1 unit
Polyprotic acids
Acids that can furnish more than one proton.
They are weak acids
Ka values associated with each proton loss
Principal species
Must be abundant solution species.
HA at low pH, A- at higher pH
Gran plot
Function derived from equilibrium expression before equivalence point
Ligand
Substance that acts as a Lewis base and furnishes electrons to a metal ion to form a complex.
Coordinate number
Number of bonds formed by the metal ion in a complex
Coordination geometry
Necessary orientation of ligand for complex formation
Unidented ligand
Ligand that can provide one electron lone pair in a complex. Eg NH3
