24
Q

A

Has no effect on solubility

25
Q

How does osmotic pressure, temperature, and volume relate to solubility?

A

Π = (n/V)RT = MRT

Π is osmotic pressure
n = moles
V = volume in liters
R = gas constant, Latm/molK
T = temp in Kelvin
M = concentration in mol/L

26
Q

How does the reaction quotient Q differ from Keq?

A

Q tells us the concentrations of reactants and productsunder any circumstances.

Keq reflects concentrations of reactants and products only at equilibrium

27
Q

What will happen to the system when Q > Keq?

A

The system will reverse and favor the reactants

28
Q

What will happen to the system when Q < Keq?

A

The system will go forwards and favor the products

29
Q

How do systems in equilibrium respond to stress? (also what defines stress?)

A

The system will try to remove or lower the effect of the stress by favoring the reactants or products more.

Stress includes changes in concentrations, volumes, temps, and pressure, etc

30
Q

What units should you use for the stuff in brackets when calculating Kc?

A

mol/L

31
Q

What units should you use for the stuff in brackets when calculating Kp?

A

atm

Never divide by volume with Kp, just use the atm!

32
Q

Calculate percent ionization

A

(M ion / M acid) x100

concentration of ion /
concentration of acid

33
Q

Why can water behave as both an acid and a base?

A

Water is amphoteric, it can both accept and donate protons

It is autoionizing. It can interact with itself to ionize

ex: H2O + H2O <–> H3O+ + OH-

34
Q

Definition of a conjugate acid/base pair

A

Two molecules that are related by the loss of a proton (H+)

35
Q

Mathematically, how is conjugate acid/base strength related?

A

Inversely.

A strong acid’s conjugate base is so weak that it’s a non base (et vice versa)

The stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base

36
Q

Definition of acid dissociation

A

When an acid dissociates and transfers a H+ onto water, turning itself into its conjugate base.

Note that the breaking apart of the acid and the addition of the H+ to water is simultaneous. The H+ is never free floating.

Acid dissociation is an example of a proton-transfer reaction

37
Q

Properties of strong acids

A

Completely dissociates in H2O

No strong acid left at equilibrium

Conjugate bases are non-bases

HCl, HBr, HI, HClO, HNO3, H2SO4

38
Q

What does it mean when we say that water is leveling?

A

It means that there cannot be an acid stronger than the conjugate acid of the solvent.

In the presence of an acid stronger than hydronium, water will behave as an acid and turn into hydronium cations

In the presence of a base stronger than hydroxide, water will behave as a base and turn into hydroxide anions

39
Q

What is the definition of a strong acid or a strong base?

A

Acid: being stronger than hydronium

Base: being stronger than hydroxide

40
Q

Properties of weak acids

A

Only partially dissociates in water, creating an equilibrium

The conjugate base of a weak acid is another weak base

Exists between the strengths of H3O+ and OH-

All four species (weak acid, conjugate weak base, water, water’s conjugate) are present at equilibrium

41
Q

What is Ka?

A

The designated equilibrium constant for a weak acid

42
Q

What is Kb?

A

The designated equilibrium constant for a weak base

43
Q

When will the addition of salts to a solution change the solution’s pH?

A

When the components that the salt dissolves into have conjugate weak acids and bases

44
Q

Will this change the pH of a solution?

NaBr –> Na+ + Br-

A

No.

Conjugate acid of Br- is HBr, a strong acid. Strong acid’s won’t affect the pH here.

Conjugate base of Na+ is Na(OH)2, a strong base. Won’t affect pH

45
Q

Will this change the pH of a solution?

NaOBr –> Na+ + OBr-

A

Yes.

OBr-‘s conjugate acid is HOBr, a weak acid. Weak acids change the pH here
