Test 2- Chem 112- St. Thomas- Summer Flashcards
True or false, The conjugate base of a strong acid has negligible acid-base properties.
true
the bigger Ka/Kb is, the ____ the acid/base is
stronger
hydronium
H3O+
hydroxide
OH-
higher pH means ____ concentration of H30
lower
lower pH means ____ concentration of H30
higher
Q
the reaction quotient at any time during reaction
K
equilibrium constant. Q, ONLY at equilibrium (the END of reaction)
Kc>1
favors products
Kc=1
they are the same
Kc<1
favors reactants
Q<K
reaction moves right (forward) to form products
Q=K
equilibrium
Q>K
reaction moves left (reverse) + forms reactants
Le Chatelier’s principle
a system in equilibrium will adjust to a stress by shifting to minimize or alleviate stress types
addition of products or reactants does what
shift in the opposite side
removal of products or reactants does what
shift in the same side
increasing temp does what
moves toward opposite side
decreasing temp does what
shifts toward the same side (energy side)
input energy (endothermic)
energy side is reactant
output energy (exothermic)
energy side is product
decrease in volume does what to pressure
increase
