¹⁰ː pH Flashcards
pH is the measure of what?
the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution
The more free **HYDROGEN IONS **there are in a solution, the _____ the pH
LOWER
⬆H+ion = ⬇ pH
a solution with a pH _____ is considered to be NEUTRAL
pH of 7
What is the pH of WATER?
pH = 7
write the EQUILIBRIUM equation that expresses the relationship between WATER and HYDROGEN ions
H2O ⇄ H+** + OH **-
**ACID **solution has a pH of _____
pH < 7
ALKALINIC solution has a pH of _____
pH > 7
the **pH **of a **STRONG ACID **= _____
pH <em>=</em>0
the pH of a STRONG BASE = _____
pH <em>= </em>14
This TERM is used to **identify the amount of H+ ions **in a solution
Molar [M]* *concentration
of ACIDS
(ex:) *0.1 *M solution* *contains
1 x 10-1 **hydrogen ions
an **ACID **solution will _____ proton
**DONATES **
protons
an ALKALINIC solution will _____ proton
**ACCEPTS **
protons
DEFINE:
pH = pKa
It is the point at which:
- half the compound is **PROTONATED **<em>[<u>IONIZED</u>]</em> &
- half is UN-PROTONATED <em>[<u>UNIONIZED</u>]</em>
- IONIZED = UN-IONIZED
- any time you get a pKa refers to ACID losing protons to give the BASE form
When** pH >** pKa:
- MORE of the ACID _______
- MORE of the **CONJUGATED BASE ** _____
- MORE of the ACID is ionized
- MORE of the CONJUGATED BASE is un-ionized
When pH < pKa:
- MORE of the ACID is _____
- MORE of the CONJUGATED BASE is _____
- MORE of the ACID is un-ionized
- MORE of the CONJUGATED BASE is ionized
