Week 4 Flashcards
Only equation we need to memorize
CO2 + H2O H+ + HCO3-
DEFINITION of acid
Molecule that donates H+ in a solution
Definition of base
Molecule that accepts an H+ in solution
Strong acids
FUlly ionize in solution
Examples:
HCl, HI, HBr, H2SO4, HNO3
Strong bases
Fully ionized to OH- and cation.
Examples
NaOH, LiOH, KOH, Ba(OH)2
Amphiprotic species
Act as both acid or a base (PO4)
WEAK ACID
Most of acid remains whole and does not ionize in water.
HC2H3O3 (acetic acid)
H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
H3PO4 (phosphoric acid)
NH4+ (ammonium)
Weak base
Does not fully ionize
EXAMPLES
NH3, HCO3, CO32-, HPO4 2-
Ha —> h +a
WHat is A?
Conjugate base
H + + B HB+
What is HB+
Conjugate acid
Henderson Hasselbalch equation is used to find what. What is the equation?
Used to find dissociation of a weak acid.
Ph= pa + log ( [A-]/ [HA])
What does pka signify
Where buffers do best buffering
‘Where does a buffer work best?
+ or - 1 pH level

What is a charge on electron
Coulomb
How to calculate anion gap
NA+ - (Cl- +HCO3-)
What does high AG mean?
Addition of acid
What does normal AG mean?
