29
Q

neutralisation

A

acid base reaction that goes to completion and does not directly produce H3O+ and OH-

  • strong goes to completion
  • weak does not go to completion

explain with both le chateliers and bronsted lowry

eg. CH3COOH weak acid in water
- NaOH strong base in water

CH3Cooh + NaOH -> NaCh3CH3COOH + H2O

  • since acetic acid is a weak acid relative to water but strong acid relative to sodium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide is a strong base relative to water and acetic acid is stronger than water –> the acetic acid will ionise completely in the presence of sodium hydroxide where neutralisation is complete
30
Q

changing degree of ionisation

A

depends on concentration acids however only temperature changes the Ka

31
Q

pH

A

-log10[H3O+]

32
Q

[H3O+]

A

10^-pH

33
Q

factors that affect an acids pH

A
  1. concentration
  2. strength
  3. proticity (strong acids)
  4. degree of ionisation (weak acids)
34
Q

concentration impacts on pH

A

more concentrated acid = lower pH
think about how a log is an inverse

35
Q

strength impact on pH

A

strong acids have a lower pH as it completely ionises in water

36
Q

proticity impact on pH

A

strong acids only
higher proticity = lower pH
sulfuric acid has a lower pH than HCl as it has both a strong first ionisation and weak second ionisation

37
Q

degree of ionisation impact on pH

A

weak acids only
high degree of ionisation = lower pH
citric < acetic < carbonic

  • although carbonic acid has more protons readily available to donate, it has a much lower degree of ionisation
38
Q

what salt does strong acid + strong base produce

A

neutral salt

39
Q

what salt does strong base + weak acid produce

A

acidic salt

40
Q

what salt does strong acid + weak base produce

A

basic salt

41
Q

what salt does weak acid + weak base produce

A

any of them..?

42
Q

what is the levelling effect of a solvent

A

acid: strength of acid is levelled/limited by the ability of a solvent to accept protons
base: strength of base is levelled by the ability of solvent to donate protons

43
Q

define titration

A

volumetric analysis which the concentration of a solution is determined by measuring the volumes of solutions involved in a reaction
- uses neutralisation reactions

44
Q

equivalence point

A

point at which equal moles of H3O+ ions and OH- ions have been reacted together

45
Q

endpoint

A

the point at which a sustained colour change is achieved using an appropriate indicator

46
Q

titration error

A

the difference between the equivalence point and the endpoint

47
Q

titre

A

the minimum volume required to reach the endpoint of the neutralisation reaction in the titration

48
Q

titrant

A

solution which is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution

49
Q

analyte

A

solution whose concentration is to be determined

50
Q

standard solution

A

solution with known concentration

51
Q

qualities looked for in a standard solution (primary standard) + example

A
  • high purity
  • stability in air
    -high molecular weight
  • inexpensive and readily obtained

eg.

acid: hydrated oxalic acid (weak acid for strong base)

base: anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) / sodium hydrogen carbonate (NAHCO3) -> weak base for strong acid

52
Q

what to avoid in a primary standard

A

weak acid and weak base together

deliquescent compounds: absorb water from surrounding environment by reacting with CO2 in air which dissolves in the solution eg. NaOH + KOH

hydroscopic: attract water molecules due to the presence of hydrophilic groups eg. H2SO4

53
Q

what is al the glassware rinsed with

A

all glassware rinsed with demineralised water first

pipette + burette = rinsed finally with solution they are to contain to ensure the concentration of substances they are to contain are accurate
(the demin water would dilute the solution)

volumetric flask + conical flask = rinsed thoroughly with demineralised water so the number of moles of the substance can be accurate

54
Q

beaker

A

used to dissolve the dry powdered primary standard to make the standard solution

55
Q

volumetric flask

A

cleaned with demin and and filled to the gradation line with the standard solution then inverted 20 times to homogenise the solution

Q

neutralisation real life applications

A

antacid tablets:
- antacid tablets contain Mg(OH)2/Al(OH)3 that undergo neutralisation with excess gastric acid in the human stomach eg HCl

tooth decay:
- acids from food and drinks cause tooth decay
- toothpaste is weakly alkaline with undergoes neutralisation with acids present on the cavity
- CaCO3

baking:
- sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) (s)
- reacts with acids
- gives cake airy quality and produces CO2 to help rise

industrial:
- sodium hydrogen carbonate is used to neutralise any spills that are acidic.basic that is corrosive and causes harm to the environment and should e cheap, safe and weakly acidic/basic

wastewater:
treatment of waste water
- HF used to neutralise NaOH and Ca(OH)2 and produces a solid that can be removed

66
Q

define a buffer

A

similar/comparable concentrations of a weak acid/base and its conjugate which resists the change in pH if another acid/base is added

67
Q

how do buffers work

A

eg. carbonic acid (wa) is mixed with sodium hydrogen carbonate
H2CO3/HCO3- system

  • then write the equations showing the addition of H3O+ and addition of OH-

addition of H3O+: acid
- acid consumed by HCO3- shifting the equation to the left to reduce [H3O+] by LCP
- minimal change in [H3O+] , pH remains stable

addition of OH-: base
- base consumed and shifts left to decrease [OH-] by LCP

then link back to buffer: therefore since the solution minimises changes in [OH-] and [H3O+], it can act as a buffer

68
Q

example of buffers

A

human blood:
- to maintain homeostasis

acidic through exercise as more carbonic acid is produced:
- shifts left to increase H2CO3

ocean buffer:
HCO3-/CO32- buffer system
- shells and limestone composed of CaCO3 that dissolve into CO32-
