pH, acid and bases, solubility, enzyme kinetic Flashcards
1
Q
pH
A
Measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions
2
Q
Strong Acid
A
- Completely dissacosiates so completely ionised in water
pH = -log[H+]
3
Q
Strong base
A
- Completely dissacosiates and ionised in water
- Kw = [H+] [HO-] = 10^-14
- pH = -log[H+]
4
Q
Weak acid
A
- Always in equalibrium
- pH = 1/2 pKa - 1/2 log [HA]
- Not compltely ionised by H2O same as initial concentration
5
Q
Weak base
A
- Always in equalibrium
- pH = 1/2pKw +1/2 pKa + 1/2 log[B]
- pKa of acid +pKb of conjugate base of acid = pKw
6
Q
Henderson-Hasselbach equation
A
Measure of the degree of ionisation at given pH
7
Q
Henderson hasselbalch
Weak acid
A
- pH = pKa + log(A-/HA)
- A- is ionised (base) and HA is unionised (acid)
8
Q
Henderson-hasselbalch
Weak base
A
- pH = pKa + log(B/BH+)
- Non-ionised (base) is B and ionised (acid) is BH+
- pKa of is the pH at which half is ionised
9
Q
What is the dissociation why pKa = pH
A
- Exactly half is dissacoiated so half is ionised
10
Q
Acids
What happens when there is an increase in pH>pKa?
A
- Acid becomes more ionised and loose electrons faster
11
Q
Acids
What happens when there’s a decrease in pH<pKa?
A
- Acid becomes less ionised and it is less likely that acid looses electron
12
Q
Ratio of ionised to un-ionised
A
- Shift by a factor of 10 if there is an increase of 1 unit int the pKa value
13
Q
Base
What happens when there is an increase in pH>pKa?
A
- Base becomes less ionised and is undissociated
14
Q
Base
What happens when there is a decrease in pH<pKa?
A
- Base becomes more ionised and dissacociated
- More likely to gain an electron
15
Q
Strong acid + Strong base
A
Neutral salt (pH 7)
