Q

What are thermometric titrations?

A
  • When an unknown concentration is added to a base of known volume and concentration
  • Can be carried out to determine the concentration of a solution
  • Temp of the mixture is recorded as the acid is added and results are plotted on a graph

Q

How to calculate the pH of a monoprotic acid?

A

pH = -log[H+}

Use the concentration of the acid as the H+

Q

Calculate the pH of a 0.100moldm-3 solution of HCl

A

Hcl(aq) –H+(aq)+Cl-(aq)
pH = -log {H+]
pH= -log{0.100} = 1.00

Q

Where does equilibrium lie for strong acids and bases?

A

To the right

18
Q

Where does equilibrium lie for weak acids and bases?

A

To the left

19
Q

What are amphiprotic series?

A

Can act as both a BL acid and base

20
Q

Reactions of acids (5)

A

Acid + metal hydroxide – Salt+ water
Acid+ metal oxide – Salt + water
Acid + metal carbonate – Salt+ water+CO2
Acid+metal – Salt + hydrogen
Acid+ metal hydrogen carbonate – salt+ water+ co2

21
Q

Features of the pH scale

A
  • measures how basic or acidic a substance is
    -logarithmic scale
    -change in one pH unit is 10 times the change in H+ ions
    -
22
Q

What is the ionic product constant of water?

A

KW =(H+)(OH-)

23
Q

What is a monoprotic acid? + examples

A

An acid that donates one proton ( HCl, HNO3)

24
Q

What is a diprotic acid?

A

An acid that donates 2 protons ( H2SO4)

25
Q

What is the formula for pH?

A

pH = -log (H+)

26
Q

If the acid or base is strong where does equilibrium lie?

A

To the right

27
Q

Where does equilibrium lie for weak acids and bases?

A

To the left

28
Q

What are the methods for distinguishing between strong and weak acids?

A
  • Measuring electrical conductivity
  • Measuring the pH
  • react with an active metal or base
29
Q

How can electrical conductivity be used to find a strong acid?

A
  • strong acids will have high electrical conducivity as there is a high concentration of mobile ions in solution
30
Q

How can reacting with an active metal be used to find a strong acid?

A
  • the active metal will react faster with the strong acid

- strong acids have a higher concentration of H+ ions

31
Q

What is the pH of rain water?

A

5.6

32
Q

Reaction for CO2 and H20?

A

CO2 + H20 —H2CO3

33
Q

What gases are involved in acid deposition?

A

SO2 and NOx

34
Q

What two things produce SO2?

A
  • Power stations as the coal that contains S is burned

- Volcanic eruption

35
Q

What produces NO?

A

An internal combustion in engines where N and O react

36
Q

What are the two products when SO2 reacts with water?

A

SO2 + H20 = H2SO3

SO3 + H20 = H2SO4 ( SO2 reacts with O to get SO3)

37
Q

Reactions of NO

A

2NO2 + H20 =HNO3 +HNO2

38
Q

What is pre combustion?

A
  • When sulphur is removed from petroleum products before combustion
  • Hydrodesulfurisation
39
Q

What is post combustion?

A
  • Flue gas desulfurisation

- SO2 is removed from exhaust emission by reacting with a base

40
Q

State what is meant by the term conjugate base.

A

Has one less proton ( do not say differs by a proton )
