Unit 4: Acids, Bases, And Salts (3) Flashcards
A solution with an accurately know concentration is called a____ or a _____
Standard solution
Standardized solution
A primary standard is…
A substance which can be obtained in a pure stable form (Doesnt absorb water or carbon dioxide). It must also have a known molar mass which can be used to prepare a solution of known concentration
How can you create a standard solution that is not a primary standard?
Titrate a base with a primary standard (or other solution of known concentration) to find the exact concentration of the base.
What are the two acidic primary standards most commonly used?
Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4)
Oxalis acid dihydrate (H2C2O4•2H2O)
Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4), is ____ in its reaction with NaOH and the best indicators to use with it are ______ or ______.
Monoprotic
Phenolphthalein
Thymol blue
Oxalis acid dihydrate (H2C2O4•2H2O) is _____ in its reaction with NaOH and the best indicator to use with it is _____.
Diprotic
Phenolphthalein
The most common basic primary standard is _____.
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is _____ in its reaction with HCl and the best indicator to use for it is_____.
Diprotic
Methyl orange
In order to carry out a titration, you must have a solution with an accurately known ______.
Concentration
When ever an acid is added to a base the H+ available in the ____ react with the _____ in the base. When no excess ___ or ____ remain in solution, the solution is ____.
Acid OH- H+ OH- Neutral
The process of arriving at a neutral solution is called ___.
Neutralization
What is titration?
Titration is the process of adding a solution of known concentration and known volume (often a base) to a solution with a known volume and unknown concentration (often an acid) to find the unknown concentration
At equivalence point the moles of H+ equals to…?
The moles of OH-
What is the purpose of a buffer?
To maintain a relatively constant pH when either a small amount of acid or base is added
Buffers have an equilibrium between…
a weak acid (or weak base) and its conjugate weak base (or conjugate weak acid).
