Term
equilibrium
Definition
state in which two opposing actions occur at the same rate
Term
Law of Chemical Equilibrium
Definition
at a given temperature, a chemical system will reach a state in which the ratio of the concentration of products to reactants is a constant value (Keq)
Term
Keq
Definition
constant value of ratio of concentration of products to reactants
products/reactants
solids and liquids are absorbed b/c of fairly constant densities
Term
homogeneous equilibrium
Definition
all substances are in same state
Term
heterogeneous equilibrium
Definition
substances are in different states
Term
products outnumber reactants at equilibrium if...
Definition
if Keq >1
Term
four stressors for equilibrium system
Definition
concentration, volume (gas), pressure (gases), temperature
Term
concentration
Definition
increase in concentration causes shift away from increase; decrease in concentration causes shift toward decrease
Term
volume (only gases)
Definition
increase in volume favors side with more gas particles
Term
pressure
Definition
increase in pressure favors side with fewer gas particles
Term
temperature
Definition
exothermic--increase in temperature shifts left
endothermic--increase in temperature shifts right
Term
Ksp
Definition
product of Keq and concentration of undissolved solid
Term
Qsp
Definition
ion product constant. calculated when UNSATURATED. if less than or equal to Ksp, no precipitate forms. if greater than Ksp, precipitate forms.
Term
common ion effect
Definition
when a solute is added to a solution with a common ion, solubility of original solute decreases.
Term
types of acids
Definition
binary (made up of H and one other element)
and oxyacids--made up of H, O, one other element
Term
arrhenius acid
Definition
substance that increases [H+] in solution
Term
arrhenius base
Definition
substance that increases [OH-} in solution
Term
BL acid
Definition
substance that is a proton donor
Term
BL base
Definition
substance that is a proton acceptor
Term
monoprotic acid/diprotic/triprotic
Definition
only has one proton to give away/2/3
Term
anhydrides
Definition
substance that becomes acid or base when water is added
Term
lewis acid
Definition
electron acceptor
Term
lewis base
Definition
electron donor
Term
strong acid/base
Definition
dissociates completely in solution
Term
weak acid/base
Definition
dissociates partially, then goes to equilibrium
Term
Ka
Definition
acid ionization constant. the higher the Ka, the stronger the acid.
Term
after giving away/accepting protons, what happens to acids and bases?
Definition
stong acid becomes weak conjugate base after giving away proton.
strong base becomes weak conj. acid.
weak acid becomes strong conj. base
weak base becomes strong conj. acid
Term
amphoteric
Definition
substance that can act as both acid and base
Term
Kw
Definition
constant for ionization of water
[H3O+][OH-]
1.0 * 10^-14 M squared
Term
pH scale
Definition
acidity
1 to 14
7 is neutral, less than 7 is acidic, greater than 7 is basic
pH = -log [H3O+]
Term
pOH scale
Definition
basicity. base version of pH scale. -log[OH]
Term
strong acid + strong base
Definition
products: salt and H2O
Term
strong acid + weak base
Definition
products: weak conj. base and strong conj, acid
Term
weak acid + strong base
Definition
products: strong conj base, weak conj acid
Term
weak acid + weak base
Definition
nothing really happens
Term
titration
Definition
controlled addition of acid/base of known concentration to base/acid of unknown concentration to determine unknown concentration
Term
equivalence point
Definition
when amount of acid and base in titration are equal (mole)
Term
acid-base indicator
pH interval
endpoint
Definition
substance that changes color based on solution's pH
-pH range where color change occurs
-point in a titration when the indicator changes color
Term
salt hydrolysis
Definition
when a salt is put into solution, a small amount of it reacts in the reverse of acid/base reaction
Term
if acid and base produced are both strong, solution is...
Definition
neutral
Term
if weak acid and strong base are produced, solution is ...
Definition
basic
Term
if weak base and strong acid are produced, solution is...
Definition
acidic
Term
buffers
Definition
substances that resist change in pH. generally mixture of weak acid/base with its conjugate
Term
buffer capacity
Definition
maximum amount of acid/base that can be added without changing pH
