Unit 8 Flashcards
strong acids (examples)
-HCl -HClO4
-HBr -HNO3
-HI -H2SO4
strong acids
-fully disassociate
- [H+]= [HA]
weak acids
- do not fully disassociate
Ka= [H+][A-]/[HA]
strong base (examples)
-LiOH -CsOH
-NaOH -Ca(OH)2
-KOH - Sr(OH)2
-RbOH - Ba(OH)2
strong base
-fully disassociate
-[OH]=[BOH]
weak base
- does not fully disassociate
Kb= [BH][OH]/[B]
% ionization
[H]/[HA] x 100
-final over initial
- same for bases
larger % ionization means…
stronger acid or base
Neutral Salt
SA+SB
Basic Salt
SB+WA
Acidic Salt
SA+WB
indicators
- pick an indicator closest to your desired pH
often equivalence point
What do buffers do?
resist change in pH
How are buffers made?
WA+CB
WB+CA
when there are more mols of a buffer…
the buffer capacity increases
at half equivalence pt. pH=….
pH= pKa
SA+SB titration
SA+WB
SB+WA
-pH = 7
-pH<7
-pH>7
when having both weak acid and base you…
compare Ka to Kb
Larger value means more acidic or basic
polyprotic acid
loses one H+ atom at a time
when there is more oxygen to an acid…
the acid is stronger due to the negative ions stabilizing charges
when is a acid stronger?
- down a group - weaker bond
-across a period- more electronegative
Kw=[OH][H]=…
1x10^-14
WB graph
starts high due to high pH
dips fast to a pH of 7
