Honors chemistry final: Acids, bases, and equilibrium Flashcards
strong acids
acids that ionize completely
weak acids
acids that dont ionize completely
strng bases
dissociate entirely into metal ions and hydroxide ions
weak bases
dont dissociate entirely into metal inos and hydroxide ions
chemical equilibrium
the forward and reverse reactions balance each other out
law a chemical equilibrium
at a given temperature, a chamical system or reaction may reach a state in which a paricular ratio of reactent and product concentrations have the same constant value
homogeneous equalibria
all of the reactents and products are in the same gas-state or aqueous state
heterogeneous equalibria
the reactents and products of a mixture of solids-liduids- and gases and aqueous liquids
LeChatliers principle
if a stress is aplied to a system at equalibrium, the system shifts in the direction that relives the stress
3 ways to disrupt a chemical system at equalibrium
- change in temperature
- change in concentrarion(number of moles) or partial preassure
- change in volume or preassure
