Handout 4 Flashcards
How do we define activities of a substance?
In terms of partial pressures or concentrations
What is the activity of a pure solid?
It is 1
How do we define solubility product for silver chloride for example?
Ksp=aAg+aCl
K=Ksp=aAgaCl/aAgCl
What conditions do we need to relate solubility product to concentrations?
For dilute solutions
What is the common ion effect?
If you add a high concentration of a salt which contains a common ion (and is soluble) then equilibrium is pushed to reactants.
What is coloumbs law?
F=q+q-/4pi(permittivity of vacuum)x relative permittivity x r^2
What are the conditions for an ideal solution?
no solute-solute interactions
no solute-solvent interactions
solvent-solvent interactions same as for pure solvent
what does gamma refer to?
ionic activity coefficient
What is value of ionic activity coefficient for ideal solutions?
The value is 1
What is units for molality?
mol/kg
what are the main contributors to a deviation from ideality for ionic activity coefficient?
ion concentration and charges on ions
Why do we define mean ionic activity?
Anions and cations cannot be studied separately
How do we define mean ionic activity?
(a+^v+a-^v-)^(1/(v+plusv-))
What is equation for ionic strength?
can be defined in terms of concentrations or molalities…
But is…
I=1/2sumciz^2/c(standard)
What is Dubye-Huckel limiting law?
log10gamma=-Aabsolute value z+z- I^1/2
