Q

titration of strong acids with strong base will equal

A

pH 7

-H+ + OH- = H2O

-the pH slowly goes up at the start
-before and after the the equiv point, the pH increases rapidly
-at equiv point, moles acid= moles base and the solution contains only water and salt from the base and acid
-as more base is added, the pH levels off

-base will start higher and go down with the same steps

Q

titrant means

A

-what is going in the titration

-the other will have a volume with the M if we asked to find volume of the titrant

24
Q

titration of weak acid with strong base

A
  • OH- + HA -> A - + H2O

-the CB of WA affects the pH when it is formed :

-initial pH of WA is the start

-before equivalence point is the buffer range of pH increasing

-equivalence point is weak CB (wont be 7.0 as it increases)

-after equiv point the OH in excess and level off

25
how to find pH from ice tables etc
-log [H3O] -log [OH-] if you have pH and need concentration you will 10-e 14-pOH= pH
26
half equiv point volume formula
equiv point/2
27
Titration of a weak acid with a strong base (titrant)
weaker acids will have a higher initial pH and the pH change is not as rapid near the equiv point -greater then 7
28
titration of a weak base with strong acid
Base will start lower and pH change will not be as rapid when near equiv point -less than 7
29
polyprotic acid titrations
-multiple equivalence points
30
solubility ksp formula
ksp= [prod] [prod] -dont forget exponents
31
is ksp the same as solubility
no -generally expressed as mass of solute dissolved in g/l g/ml M
32
since solubility will have solids as reactants we can
ignore the products but use its ksp for the formula -remember the stoich ratio
33
remember x for
solubility questions with 2:1 ratio
34
Factors affecting solubility
-common ion affect: if ion is already dissolved then the reaction will shift left pH: if substance has a basic anion, it will be more soluble in acidic solution, vis versa with basic, shift to left complex ions: metals can act as lewis acids and form complex ions with lewis bases and increases solubility -amphoterism: can dissolve in either A or B
35
will a precipitate form?
if q=ksp, then equilibrium if Q < ksp, towards products , no if Q > ksp, towards reactants,
36
strong AB titrations will not have
a buffer region (before, after, midpoint) no pka
37
for titrations with weak acid or weak base, where do we do HH equations
before or after equiv point
38
when does the pH equal the pka in titrations
at midpoint
39
at equiv point for buffer titration the equation will be
opposite the the midpoint
40
calculating equiv point for WA or WB has to to do with the ____ WA or WB
-initial concentration of the base or acid at midpoint (in the before-after) -initial volume of at the start of WA or WB -mols of initial will equal the mols of other at equiv point -calculate the new volume with that initial and concentration that was added -add inital volume and volume needed to reach
41
when dealing with an after titration question, what's the difference between having a Wa titrated by strong base, and WB titrated by SA
WA titrated by strong base- need to do before and after and kb WB with SA- just find new mol and divide by concentration
42
steps from ksp to solubility vis versa
ksp- [prod] [prod] -find concentration of indiv ion which is the [prod] in formula -ratio to find concentration of compound -if we need mass, multiply by molar mass
43
what is solubility
The maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at equilibrium.
44
for solubility (precipitate), When two solutions of equal volume are mixed, the concentrations of all species ______ because
are halved -volume doubles while the number of moles remains the same.
45
Strong acid titrated by strong base vs strong base titrated by strong acid -at the start of titration -equation -pH
SA: -H only present -HCl->H + Cl- -[H3O]=[HA] pH=-log[H3O] SB: -OH only present -NaOH-> Na + OH -pOH= - log [OH], 14-pOH
46
Strong acid titrated by strong base vs strong base titrated by strong acid -before equiv point -equation -pH
SA: -some OH added to neutralize HA (HCl) -HA + OH= A- + H20, Ha excess -find mols of H3O from unreacted HA, use vol to get concentration, pH SB: -some H+ added to neutralize OH -OH + H= H3O + H2O , OH excess -find mols of unreacted OH, use vol to get concentration, pOH, PH
47
Strong acid titrated by strong base vs strong base titrated by strong acid -equivalence point -equation -pH
SA: -all mols of H+ used up -moles acid= moles base, same equation as before equiv point -7.0 pH neutral SB: all mols of OH used up -moles acid= moles base, same formula as equiv point -7.0 pH neutral
48
Strong acid titrated by strong base vs strong base titrated by strong acid -after equiv point -equation -pH
SA: -No HA remains, OH in excess -no reaction, OH mol increasing -find mols of OH added equiv point after equiv SB: -no OH remains, H in excess -no reaction, mols of H increasing -find mols of H added after equiv point (add H+ volume and divide by new mols)
49
weak acid titrated by strong base vs weak base titrated by strong acid -start of titration -equation -pH
WA: -only weak acid present -HA + H2O = A + H3O -ice table, initial conc not including the volume, calculate pH WB: -only weak base present -A + H2O = HA + OH -ice table, find kb, pOH, pH
50
weak acid titrated by strong base vs weak base titrated by strong acid -before or after mid point -equation -pH
WA: -some OH added to partially neutralize H -H + OH = H2O + A, HA in excess -find mols HA and OH before, subtract or add from OH to HA and A -divide both mols by total volume for new concentration -HH equation WB: -some H added to partially neutralize H -A- + H3O= H2O + HA, A in excess -find mols HA and A before, subtract or add from strong acid to CA and WB -divide both mols by total volume for new concentration -find ka -HH equation
51
weak acid titrated by strong base vs weak base titrated by strong acid -midpoint -equation -pH
1/2 volume of of titrant needed to reach equiv point WA -exactly half of titrant added -same equation as B or A mid, concentration equal -pH=pka WB: -exactly half of titrant added -same equation as B or A mid, concentration equal -pH=pka
52
weak acid titrated by strong base vs weak base titrated by strong acid -equivalence point -equation -pH
WA: -mols A= mol B -reaction flipped from mid now base is first -take initial mols of WA from beginning (M and vol in question) and divide by total volume to get flipped base concentration, find kb, pOh, pH WB: mols B= mol A -reaction flipped from mid now acid is first -take initial mols of WB from beginning (M and vol in question) and divide by total volume to get flipped acid concentration, find ka, pH
53
weak acid titrated by strong base vs weak base titrated by strong acid -after equiv point -equation -pH

54
only time we use inital M of WA or WB that doesnt include the volume
-at the start as its not being titrated yet
55
to get mass from HH
ph given= pka we calc + log [solve for this] 10e new conc= intial con/inital conc
