Module 1 and 2 Flashcards
K > Q which reaction is favoured
Forward
K < Q which reaction is favoured
Backward
Will a precipitate form if Q > K
Yes
Will a precipitate form if Q < K
No
The stronger the acid or base, the _____ the conjugate
Weaker
Ligands act as
Lewis bases
Acid base reactions involve the exchange of
1 proton
Redox reactions involve the exchange of
Electrons
“X is titrated with Y” (where are these solutions located)
X in flask (unknown concentration), Y in burette (known concentration)
Ratio of buffer made with weak acid or base and conjugate
1:1
Ratio of buffer made with weak acid/base and strong acid/base
2:1
Ionisation status depends on
pH of solution and pKa of functional group
Percent protonated when >1 unit below pKa
90%
Percent deprotonated when >1 unit above pKa
90%
Amino acid pKa below which all are protonated
2.5
Amino acid pKa above which all are deprotonated
9.5
𝚫fH
change in enthalpy for the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its constituent elements in their standard states (already in standard states= 0)
𝚫vapH
change in enthalpy for one mole of a substance changing from a liquid to a gas
𝚫fusH
change in enthalpy for one mole of a substance changing from a solid to a liquid
𝚫comH
change in enthalpy for the combustion of one mole of a substance in oxygen (products CO2, H2O)
Negative change in enthalpy
Exothermic
Positive change in enthalpy
Endothermic
