week 3 water Flashcards
Is water polar or nonpolar (what does it dissolve)?
Polar
dissolves polar and ionic
Properties of liquid water
bond break and form in an irregular membrane
Properties of solid water
bonds form crystalline array
Self Ionisation of water
2H2O <-> H3O+ and OH-
Hydronium
H3O+
Hydrated H+ ions
Acid
Hydroxide
OH-
Base
Acids
Donate Proton/ Hydrogen (H+ is generated in a reaction)
Bases
Accept Proton/Hydrogen (H+ is removed in a reaction)
Conjugate Base
Acid after donating H/Proton
Conjugate Acid
Base after accepting H/Proton
Acid Dissociation Constant
Ka
High value - Stong Acid
Low Value - Weak Acid
pH equation
pH = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10^(-pH)
pOH scale relationship with pH
pOH scale is the revers of the pH scale
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
pH=-pKa + Log[A-]/[HA]
[A-]/[HA] - Ratio Base to Acid
