Picture of hydronium in action
equilibrium of a reaction
See formula below defined in terms of the [reactants] and [products] at equilibrium:
Remember: The equilibrium constant is fixed for any given chemical reaction at a specific temperature.

Keq gives the position of ?
Give the formula

See worked solution of calculating the equilibrium constant with the ion product of water constant at 25°C
neutral pH

See picture below for calculation.
When there are exactly equal concentrations of H+ and OH-, as in pure water, the solution is said to be at ?
Explain the calculation for this.
- constant
- -7 M
- [OH-]
- ion product of water (Kw) is _____,
- So… whenever [H+] is >1 x 10-7 M, [OH-] must be ______.
- So, using the ion product of water we can calculate [H+] if we know _____, and vice versa

What is the concentration of OH- in a solution in which the H+ concentration is 0.00013 (1.3 x 10-4) M?
- donors
- acceptors
- Acids are proton ____
- Bases are proton _____
conjugate acid base pair.
A proton donor and its corresponding proton acceptor make up a
aqueous solution.
Each acid has a characteristic tendency to lose its proton in an
proton
HCl
The stronger the acid, the greater its tendency to lose its ____? Give an example of a molecule that gives up a proton readily.
H+
pH formula is below. Note in formula pH must be expressed in molar terms

The pH scale is a convenient method of designating the concentration of __ in any aqueous solution.
The term pH is defined by the expression:

pH scale table.

pH of some aqueous solutions
7.4
What is the normal pH of blood?
Acidosis is an increased acidity in the blood and other body tissue. It usually refers to acidity of the blood plasma.
Acidosis is said to occur when arterial pH falls below 7.35
What is Acidosis
It refers to a condition reducing hydrogen ion concentration of arterial blood plasma (alkalemia), ie pH increase. Generally, alkalosis is said to occur when pH of the blood exceeds 7.45
What is Alkalosis?
ionised
Strong acids and strong bases are completely _____ in dilute aqueous solutions.
equilibrium constant (Keq)
The tendency of any acid (HA) to lose its proton and form its conjugate base (A-) can be defined by it’s ____ ____.
ionisation constants, Ka (or dissociation constants).

Equilibrium constants for ionisation reactions are called ?
explain example formula
large
small
Strong acids have a _____ Ka, and weak acids a ____ Ka

pKa is analogous to pH and is defined as
pKa
The stronger the tendency to dissociate a proton, the stronger the acid and the lower its ___.
50%
pKa is the pH at which there is ___ ionisation, so [HA]=[A-]
