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

Q

titration of weak acid with strong base

  • OH- + HA -> A - + H2O

30
Q

-dont forget exponents

31
Q

is ksp the same as solubility

A

no

-generally expressed as mass of solute dissolved in g/l g/ml M

32
Q

since solubility will have solids as reactants we can

A

ignore the products but use its ksp for the formula

-remember the stoich ratio

33
Q

remember x for

A

solubility questions with 2:1 ratio

34
Q

Factors affecting solubility

A

-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
Q

will a precipitate form?

A

if q=ksp, then equilibrium

if Q < ksp, towards products , no

if Q > ksp, towards reactants,

36
Q

strong AB titrations will not have

A

a buffer region (before, after, midpoint)

no pka

37
Q

for titrations with weak acid or weak base, where do we do HH equations

38
Q

when does the pH equal the pka in titrations

40
Q

calculating equiv point for WA or WB has to to do with the ____ WA or WB

A

-initial concentration of the base or acid at midpoint (in the before-after)

-initial volume of at the start of WA or WB

41
Q

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
Q

steps from ksp to solubility vis versa

A

ksp- [prod] [prod]
-find concentration of indiv ion which is the [prod] in formula
