Physics wk3 Flashcards
When a system in a state of dynamic equilibrium is disturbed, it will react to re-establish the equilibrium condition is what principle?
Le chatelier’s principle
a state of equilibrium is when there is
balance between the reactants and products
Thermodynamics defines
state of equilibrium
As K increases, the reaction tends to increasingly favor the
products
as K decreases the reaction tends to increasingly favor
starting materials
if you ADD products, the equilibrium will shift toward
reactants
if you REMOVE products, the equilibrium will shift towards
products
when an acid donates a proton, it is converted into its
conjugate base
when a base accepts a proton, it is converted into its
conjugate acid
behaves as either an acid or a base
amphoteric species
the stronger the acid, the _______ the conjugate base
weaker
the weaker the acid, the _______ the conjugate base
stronger
a stronger acid is more determined to give
its proton to some base
a stronger base is more determined to
take a proton from some acid
T/F weak acids do not ionize 100% in water
