Definition
water has a dipole moment. oxygen faces toward + ions, away from - ions. surrounds ions so they break apart in water. |
|
|
Term
water and nonpolar molecules |
|
Definition
CH bonds have no charge distribution. water cages form around indiv. molecules. water tends to be displaced so the molecules can come back together and water can interact more among itself(lower enthalpy) - hydrophobic effect |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
deltaG = deltaH - TdeltaS free energy = enthalpy - entropy*temp less free energy = more stable |

|
Term
strong acid base reactions |
|
Definition
create a salt and water ex. HCl + NaOH = H2O + NaCl |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
create free hydrogen ex. CH3COOH <> CH3COO- + H+ |
|
|
Term
weak vs strong acid/base rxns |
|
Definition
stronger acid = more dissociation of the molecule. weaker acids stay more intact (conjugate base) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
dissociation constant of an acid. equal to conc of products/conc of reactants |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
certain ratio of conjugate acid and base maintains pH of solution. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
pH at midpoint of titration of base. pka = -log(10)ka. higher pka: weaker acid |
