Q

Limitations onf Arrhenius Theory

A
  1. Arrhenius theory is limited to behavior of acids and bases in aqeous solutions and not in non-aqueous media.
  2. Manu substances do not have H+, but behave as acids (NH4Cl, CO2)
  3. Substances do not have Oh-, but behave as bases (Na2CO3, CaO)

Q

Formula for Strong Acids and Bases

A

pH = -log [H+]
pOH = -log [OH-]

pH + pOH = pKw
pKa + pKb = pKw

pKw = 14

17
Q

Formula for Weak acid and Weak Base

A

WA: pH = √ ka x ca
WB: pOH = √ kb x cb

18
Q

Solutions that resist pH change even if small amount og strong acid or strong base is added

A

Buffer

19
Q

Primary buffer in Blood

A

Carbonic Acid-Bicarbonate Buffer System

20
Q

Acid Buffer

A

Weak acid + Conjugate Base

Ex. Acetic acid and Sodium citrate

21
Q

Basic Buffer

A

Weak Base + Conjugate Acid

Ex. Ammonia and Ammonium Chloride

22

23
Q

Calculate the pH of a buffer Solution

A

Henderson-Hasselbach Equation

24
Q

Henderson-Hasselbach Equation
Weak Acid

A

pH = pKa + log(salt/acid)
pH = (14 - pKb) + log (salt/acid)

25
Q

Henderson-Hasselbach Equation
Weak Base

A

pH = pKa + log (base/salt)
