MIDTERM CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM Flashcards
CONSIST OF: Solute and Solvent
Aqueous Solution
a substance that is to be dissolved
solute
a substance that dissolves a solute
solvent
The most plentiful solvent on Earth
It is widely used as a medium for chemical analysis
Also called the “Universal Solvent”
Water
forms ions that when dissolved in water (or certain other solvent), and thus produce solutions that conduct electricity.
Electrolytes
ionize COMPLETELY in a solvent thus conduct electricity
Strong Electrolyte
ionize only PARTIALLY in a solvent and thus conduct electricity poorly
Weak Electrolyte
do not ionize in a solvent and thus do not conduct electricity
Non-electrolytes
an ACID is a proton donor and a BASE is a proton acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry Theory
the product form when an acid gives up a proton
conjugate base
the product formed when a base accepts a proton
Conjugate Acid
is the result when two processes are combined
neutralization
H2O + NH3(g) <=> NH4(aq) + OH-
H2O (acid) + NH3(g) (base) <=> NH4(aq)(conjugate acid) + OH- (conjugate base)
HNO2 + H2O —-> H3O+ + NO2-
HNO2(Acid) + H2O(base) —-> H3O (conjugate acid) + NO2- (conjugate base)
a subtance that contains hydrogen and produces hydronium ion (hydrogen protons) in aqueous solution.
