TEST 4 (Precipitation, Common Ion, Nature of Acid and Base) Flashcards
How to predict precipitation
Use Trial Ion Product (Q)
When will a precipitate form?
Q > Ksp
Q > Ksp
Dissolution equilibrium system shifts left
Q < Ksp
Solution unsaturated
Dissolution equilibrium system shifts right
Q = Ksp
No precipitation or overall change in concentration
Solution at equilibrium
Dilution Formula
C1V1 = C2V2
Common Ion Effect
Reduction in the solubility of an ionic compound due to the presence of a common ion in solution
Common Ion
What is present in both solutions
Explanation of Common Ion Effect
It takes spots available for other solution –> less solubility of that solution
Which compound will be less soluble?
Compound with smaller Ksp
Properties of Acids
Sour
Watery feeling
Low pH
Reacts with metals to form hydrogen gas and a salt
Reacts with a base to form a salt and water
Properties of Bases
Sour Slippery feeling High pH Non-reactive with metals Reacts with acid to form a salt and water
Arrhenius Theory
Acid –> Produces H+
Base –> Produces OH-
Problem with Arrhenius theory
Doesn’t argee with NH3 and weak bases
Bronsted Lowry Theory
Acid –> hydrogen ion donor
Base –> hydrogen ion acceptor
