Ka

20
Q

Ka

A

acid dissociation constant

21

(H+ conc * acid conc at eq)/conc of acid at start

22

A

equilibrium constant

23

Kw

A

ionic product of water

24

A

mol^2dm^-6

26
Q

Kw of pure water

A

conc of H+ squared

27
Q

Kw at 25 degrees celsius or 298 K

A

1*10^-14

28
Q

pKw

A

-log10(Kw)

29
Q

Kw from pKw

A

10^-pKw

30
Q

pKa

A

-log10(Ka)

31
Q

how to calibrate a pH meter

A

place in deionised water and set to 7 and repeat w standard pH solutions, washing with deionised water after every one.

32
Q

effects of diluting by a factor of 10 in strong acids

A

increases pH by 1

33
Q

effects of diluting by a factor of 10 in weak acids

A

increases pH of 0.5

34
Q

basics of how to titrate

A

measure out base with a pipette and put in a flask with an indicator.
rinse burette w acid standard solution before filling
carry out rough titration and note end point
repeat to receive concordant results (within 0.1 cm cubed of each other)

35
Q

equivalence line

A

almost vertical line on a titration curve upon which the end point lies in which all the acid has been neutralised

36
Q

methyl orange
color at low/high pH
pH of colour change

A

red at low, yellow at high

3.1-4.4

37
Q

phenolpthalein
color at low/high pH
pH of colour change

A

colourless at low
pink at high
8.3-10

38
Q

half-equivalence

A

the stage of the titration when all of the acid has been neutralised
pH at half-equivalence is actually the pKa for the acid

39
Q

buffer

A

solution that minimises change in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.

40
Q

acidic buffer composition

A

a weak acid and a conjugate base

41
Q

how do you make acidic buffers

A

mix an excess of weak acid with a strong base

mix a weak acid with the salt of its conjugate base

42
Q

what happens when you mix excess weak acid with a strong base

A

all of the base reacts w the acid

leftover weak acid slightly dissociates

43
Q

what happens when you mix a weak acid with the salt of its conjugate base

A

salt will fully dissociate into its ions when it dissolves

ethanoic acid partially dissociates
