Weak Acods strong bases and strong acids Flashcards
Why can’t we assume that acid is h+
As weak acids only slightly dissociate and we cannot assume that the h+ concentration is the same as the acid concentration
What is the weak acid equation
Ka = h*a/ ha
Ha >h +a
What does a large ka suggest
Stronger acid as more dissociation
When strong acid and strong base the first thing you do
Calculate the mould of the acid and the mild of the base and find which one is in excess
What if acid is in excess
You use h+ and logph directly
What if strong base is in excess
We use the kw = h(oh)
When we have a weak acid and a strong base and oh is in excess what do we use
We use kw to find h+ and then we use this to find the ph
When we have strong base and weak acid and acid is in excess what do we use
We use ka= h)a)/ ha
When do we use ph=pls
When the moms of ha = a-
