Q

equilibrium and kinetics

A
  • size of k and time are not directly related
  • time to reach equilibrium depends on the rate of reaction which is determined by kinetics
  • size of K is determined by thermodynamics factors such as difference in energy between products and reactants

Q

heterogeneous equilibrium

A

not all reactants are in the same state
- pure solis and liquids have concentrations that don’t change and are constant so they can be ADDED to the constant equilibrium value (remove them from the eqn!)

le chatalier's principle
if a change is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium will shift in a direction that tends to reduce that change
26
how to change the pressure of equilibrium
- add or remove a gaseous reactant or product (addition of an inert gas has no effect on the concentrations or partial pressures of the reactants or products) so NO CHANGE - add another inert gas that does not react - change the volume of the container
27
when you change the volume of the container
- concentrations of both reactants and products are also changed - when volume is reduced, pressure increases and system decreases its own pressure - it decreases the total number of gas moles in the system
28
by changing the temperature, you affect...
the value of K, and you treat energy as a reactant or product
29
adding a catalyst
does not change the equilibrium in any way, it just changes the time it takes to get to equilibrium
30
when a salt dissolves
ions get surrounded by water. its never entirely soluble so an equilibrium occurs
31
more soluble ionic compounds
the equilibrium lies to the right
32
insoluble ionic compound
the equilibrium lies to the left (more solid)
33
when writing ionic compounds
always write the ionic compound (solid) on the left
34
Arrhenius acid def
anything that has an H+
35
arrhenius base
donates OH-
36
bronsted-lowry acid
anything that donates an H+
37
bronsted-lowry base
accepts an H+
38
how are acids and bases defined? (water)
defined by their reaction with each other. H2O can't be an acid or a base as it depends on the reactant that is associated with it
39
bronzed lowry acid base equilibrium
the products from the reaction can act as acids and bases themselves.
40
conjugate
results from the transfer of H+
41
Acid to conjugate....
base | take away an H+ ion from acid to form the conjugate base
42
base to conjugate...
acid | add an H+ ion from base to form conjugate acid
43
remember... charges
loosing an H, leaves the thing with a -ve charge
44
amphiprotic/amphoteric
bronstead lowry term to mean it can act as an acid or a base ex. water and HCO3-
45
hydronium
H3O+
46
pH
measures the concentration of H3O+ in a solution usually positive and unitless change by one is a 10 fold change in H+
47
pH eqns
pH= -log[H3o+] | [H+]=10^-pH
48
pOH eqns
1.0x10^-14 = [H+][OH-] at 25 celsius pOH= -log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14
49
significant figures in log
only the stuff after the number (AKA decimals) are significant
50
strong acids
completely dissociate in water, not in equilibrium
51
strong acids you should know
HCL, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3 | HF has a small radius and too strong intermolecular force to ionize!
52
weak acid
partially dissociates, it is in equilibrium
53
K a
acid dissociation constant, a stronger acid will have a larger Ka more H3O+ because H+ is dissociated the equilibrium lies more towards the right compared to a weaker acid
54
ka eqn
= [H3O+][A-]/[HA] HA is the acid
55
strong bases
completely ionize
56
strong bases to know
group 1 and 2 + OH-
57
Weak bases
partially ionize, in equilibrium
58
Kb
a stronger base will have a larger Kb | a stronger base will have an equilibrium which lies more towards the right
59
auto ionization of water
water can react with itself to make hydronium kw at 25 degrees celsius= 1.0x10^-14 This is an endothermic reaction in the forward direction. increasing the temperature decreases the pH more H30+
60
kb eqn
[HA][OH-]/[A-]
61
KaKb relationship
Ka times Kb= [H3O+][OH-]= kw=1.0 x 10^-14 that means that if ka is large then kb is small
62
in a neutral solution
hydronium concentration equals OH- concentration
63
in an acidic solution
hydronium concentration is more than OH-
64
in a basic solution
hydronium concentration is less than OH-
65
-logkw
pH+pOH
66
in calculations, if the concentration of HA is much greater (>100) than Ka then
you can make the approximation that the concentration of HA initial is equal to the concentration of HA at equilibrium. must be stated each time you use this
67
if b initial> 100Kb
assume B initial equals B equilibrium
68
ionic compounds and acidic/ basic properties
determining whether acid/base is weak acid/natural salt/weak base
69
hydrolysis (salts)
certain ions react with water to change pH salts that are made from the conjugate base of a strong acid and the cation of a strong base do NOT react with water (no change)
70
strong bases that don't react with water
group 1 and 2 cations come from strong bases
71
conjugate bases that don't react with water
BR-, I-, Cl-, NO3-, CLO4-, CLO3- come from strong acids
72
ions and pH
conjugate base of weak acid will react which adds OH+ and changes the pH (basic) conjugate acids of a weak base will react with water to change its pH (acidic)
73
two ions that hydrolyse
a salt can be made from the anion of a weak acid and the cation of a weak acid this is ammonium acetate and ammonium formate compare relative strength of their ka and kb
74
buffer
resist pH after the addition of OH- or protons
75
buffered solutions contain
``` a weak acid and its salt (its conjugate) HF and NaF OR a weak base and its salt (its conjugate) NH3 and NH4CL ```
76
buffers in word problems
the concentration is on the other side of the equilibrium as well, not 0
77
buffer mechanism
buffer solutions needs a large quantity of weak acid and conjugate base (or other way) compared to the amount of strong acid or base added
78
buffer mechanism for hydroxide ions
hydroxide ions will not accumulate as they will react with the weak acid or conjugate base OH- + HA --> A- + H2O OH- +BH+ --> B + H20 *stoichiometry arrows
79
buffer mechanism for protons
protons will react with conjugate base or weak base H+ + A---> HA H+ + B --> BH+
80
pH and buffers
will be determined by the ratio of HA to A- if the amounts of HA and A- originally present is large then any small changes shouldn't affect the ratio by much therefore shouldn't affect the pH by much
81
how to create a buffer
1) combine a weak acid and its salt (or base ad its salt) - should be about equal moles - ex. NH3 and NH4Cl (source of NH4+) 2) taking a weak acid and combing it with a lower amount of stronger base (or weak base and strong acid) - this is more realistic - take about half amount of strong acid to weak base
82
titration
used to determine the amount of acid or base in a solution of unknown concentration
83
end point
indicator changes colour
84
equivalence point
when the moles of acid = moles of base if monoprotic
85
titration curve
a graph of pH as a function of volume of titrant added partly sigmoidal equivalence point is the POI of the curve
86
how can end point show equivalence point
because the tangent of the equivalence point and end point are essentially the same as the tangent is vertical (same x)
87
drawing a titration curve of strong acid and strong base
strong acid starts at pH 1-2 weak acid is at 3-4 pH weak base is 9-11 pH strong base is 11-12 curve is symmetrical around equivalence point pH rises sharply at equivalence point equivalence point is 7 pH
88
weak acid and strong base half equivalence
ka= {h30+] at half equivalence (1/2 moles required for equivalence) and creates a buffer with two curves on graph
89
weak acid and strong base initial
HA
90
weak acid and strong base equivalence
A- so basic pH
91
weak acid and strong base after equivalence
OH- basic pH
92
titration of weak acid and strong base graph
initial pH is much higher (around 3) pH equivalence point is greater than 7 curve is not symmetrical around equivalence point after equivalence the curve flattens out at a high value (pH of strong base) buffer region: - will be flat until the equivalence point half of the equivalence point volume (x six) is the half equivalence point
93
weak base and strong acid initial
B
94
weak base and strong acid half equivalence
B + BH+ --> buffer
95
weak base and strong acid equivalence
BH+ so acidic
96
weak base and strong acid after equivalence
H+
97
weak acid and weak acid curve
initial pH is high (3) from weak acid addition of base makes pH rise gradually rise around the equivalence point is less sharp after equivalence point, the curve flattens out at relatively low pH (around 9ish) hard to find the equivalence point (POI)
98
le chatelier statement
if I _(increase/decrease)___ the system responds by ___(doing opposite)__ by shifting __(left/right)___
99
indicator
a weak base that changes colour. they have a Ka when its colour A, its an acid Colour b is the dissociated side with the H+ ion and is the base the Ka/H+ ratio will show the indicator colour at a pH
100
when to see a indicator colour change
tipping point of colour a and b is ka= [H+] visible change is noticed when ratio of Ln-/ HLN = 0.1 to 10 colour change also is pKA = +/_ 1 because at half equivalence, Ka is equal to the [H+]???
101
indicator for strong acid and strong bas
pretty much anything
102
indicator for weak acid/ strong base
any indicator that is basic
103
indicator for weak base and strong acid
acid indicator
104
molar solubility
- is the amount of moles that dissolve | - it is the x value in the ICE table!
105
for le chatilier
think about what is in K, temp, volume moles and stuff
106
KSP is super small
so anything that has an initial volume the isn't zero is insignificant in the table
107
acid to conjugate base
loose an H+
108
conjugate base to acid
add an H+
109
base to conjugate acid
add an H+
110
conjugate acid to base
loose an H+
111
weak acids to kno
CH3COOH, HF, HNO2, NH4+
112
calculating pH of acid/base strong
its just stoichiometry of the concentration as its monoprotic 1-1
113
Basic anions in water
CH3CO2-, F-, CO3 2-, S 2- (conjugate bases)
114
acidic cations in water
Al3+, NH4+ (conjugate acid)
115
salt can be made from anion of weak acid and cation of weak base
just determine the strength of their relative Ka and Kb | whichever is larger
116
titration of strong acid and strong base
1) initial is just -log of thing being titrated 2) eon with H+ and OH- makes water (stoichiometry) then divide by the full volume after subtracting the LR 3) equivalence point is pH 0 4) same as 2
117
titration of weak acid and strong base
1) weak acid so its in equilibrium with water, use Ka to get H3O+ concentration 2) half equivalence point is a buffer. first to the titrated thingy with strong base (OH-) in eon, then get concentration of ion, then do that ion concentration in equilibrium which is now a buffer and is Ka= [H3O+] 3) equivalence. first do the weak acid and OH- stoichiometry, then get ion concentration then do it in equilibrium, and get pH 4) just stoichiometry as OH- is in excess (subtract LR then do pH)
118
titration of a weak base and strong acid
1) equilibrium of weak base, then use Kb 2) half equivalence so stoichiometry, ion concentration, equilibrium to get OH- then pOH then pH as pOH= pKb at half equivalence 3) stoichiometry to get ion, the use equilibrium to get pH 4) stoichiometry as H+ is in excess (- Lr)
119
titration of weak base and strong acid at half equivalence
pOH= pKb
120
when doing acidic/basic salt calculations
decide first if anion is going to react, then cation, then do equilibrium with only that iON AND DO THE PH
121
when asked about rate and equilibrium constant
Equilibrium and rate are measures of two different things and are not related. The ____reaction____ occurs to a __large/small__ extent and so the reaction has a _same as above (large/small)__ equilibrium constant. It is quite a __slow/fast__ reaction under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and so rate of reaction is __same as above (slow/fast)__.
122
when you change the volume of vessel or increase/decrease temperature (something that changes the whole equilibrium)
all concentrations drop immediately, then proceed to increase/decrease as you would predict for the new equilibrium and then flatten out when volume is suddenly decreased, it gives a greater concentration of the solution and temporarily darkens the colour. then, the solution lightens up in favour of equilibrium as concentrations level out
123
when asked about ions and equilibrium le chatelier
as you add water, it dilutes all species, and the reaction will proceed to side with the greater number of moles (as it will be ‘diluted’ to the greatest extent). remove water will shift to more solid form
124
auto ionization of water
transfer of proton from one water molecule to another to produce hydroxide ion and hydronium ion can happen in liquid ammonia as well, it turns to NH4+ and NH2-
125
water properties
water is a stronger base than the conjugate base of a strong acid but a weaker base than the conjugate base of a weak acid
126
to check if a reaction is endo or exo based on K value changes over temperature
see if K increases or decrease with increase or decrease of temperature. then think of le chatelier and which way equilibrium will shift when you change it and think of ratio of products to reactants to find if its endo or exo
127
when the concentration of strong acid is super super low (like 10^-10)
its just pH 7
128
when H+ is added to a buffered solution
reacts with the weak base H+ + A- --> HA or H+ + B --> BH+
129
when OH- is added to a buffered solution
reacts with the weak acid OH- + HA --> A- + H20 OH- + BH+ --> B + H20
130
when there is a titration and indicator changes colour quickly
that means that titration solution (in burette) is very concentrated and no concentration can be determined
131
h2CO3 and sO3
dissociates!! to water and carbon dioxide!
132
when asked about the indicator and changing colour pH
look at the Ka of the indicator, the do the ratio of HIn/Ln- the top ratio should be 10 times greater than the bottom so multiply the Ka by 10 and find pH
