electronegative the central atom, the higher the number
of oxygen (and other electronegative) atoms attached,

39
Q

Basic pH

A

More than 7 (more OH than H)

40
Q

For pure water, [OH −] =

A

H+

41
Q

How to calculate the pH of a weak acid

A

1) Write acid dissociation reaction
2) Set-up ICE table to solve for [H +].
3) Solve for Ka. Weaker acids have smaller Ka (larger pKa)

42
Q

pKa=

A

-log(pKa)

43
Q

Calculate % ionization of a weak acid

A

% ionization = (HA ionized) / (HA initial) * 100
If in water, HA ionized = H+ equilibrium (Similar definition can be applied to %hydrolysis of a weak base)

44
Q

calculate pH or concentrations of ions for a polyprotic acid

A

Set up stepwise removal of one proton at a time (multiple ICE tables)
Write Ka for each ICE table

Amphoteric species are present in the polyprotic acid
solutions
If Ka1 > Ka2 by 3 orders of magnitude or more, the pH is
determined using Ka1 only

45
Q

Calculate pH of a weak base

A

Write the base hydrolysis reaction: B (aq) + H 2O () ⇌ OH − (aq) + HB + (aq)
* Weaker bases have smaller Kb (larger pKb)
* Set up ice table to solve for [OH−]
* pH=14-pOH

46
Q

Larger Ka, smaller

A

pKa

47
Q

Smaller Kb, larger

A

pKb

48
Q

For conjugate acid/base pair, Kw=

A

Ka * Kb

49
Q

Salts are strong electrolytes, so

A

they dissociate completely

50
Q

Calculate pH of a salt solution

A

Dissociate salt completely to obtain the correct
concentration of ions
* Write acid dissociation of cation, or base hydrolysis reaction of anion.
* Follow steps for weak acid or weak base equilibrium to solve for pH. Use Ka x K b = Kw for a conjugate acid/base pair to find the correct Keq

51
Q

A

negligible

52

57
Q

Larger Keq favors

A

products

58
Q

For cations, conjugate acid of weak base makes

A

weak acid, so acidic solution

59
Q

For cations, cations of group 1A/heavy 2A have

A

no pH effect

60
Q

For cations of transition metals, group 3A, light 2A

A

acidic solution

61
Q

For anions, conjugate base of strong acid have

A

no pH effect (HSO4- exception)

62
Q

For anions, conjugate base of weak acid has

A

weak base, so basic solution

63
Q

For anions, if has ionizable protons, it is

A

amphoteric, so pH effect depends on Ka and Kb (HSO4- exception, always acidic)

64
Q

Addition of common ion decreases

A

ionization

65
Q

Buffer definition

A

Solution that contains
* a weak acid and salt of its conjugate base
* a weak base and salt of its conjugate acid

66
Q

Make a buffer (2 methods)

A

Simply combine a weak acid and salt of its conjugate
base; or a weak base and salt of its conjugate acid

Use neutralization to combine a excess weak acid
with a strong base, or a excess weak base with a
strong acid.

67
Q

Optimal pH of a buffer =

A

pKa

68
Q

More concentrated buffer solution has

A

greater buffer capacity

69
Q

Use H-H equation to calculate pH of a buffer

A

pH = pKa + log([X-] / [HX])
* [X –] is the concentration of the conjugate base;
* [HX] is the concentration of the conjugate acid

70
Q

How to find pH of buffer mixture after addition of small amount of strong
acid or base.

A

Neutralization of the added strong acid or base: write balanced reaction and make ICF table of moles
Add strong acid:
X –(aq) + H +(aq) → HX(aq)
Add strong base:
HX(aq) + OH – (aq) → X – (aq) + H 2O(l)

  • Calculate concentration of HX and X – species present in the resultant solution, and use H-H equation to calculate the new pH
71
Q

On a titration curve, initial pH indicates

A

strength of acid or base

72
Q

On a titration curve, Equivalence point is when

A

stoichiometrically equivalent quantities of acid and base reacted (straight up/down)

73
Q

On a titration curve, Buffer mixture are produced between

A

initial and equivalence point

74
Q

On a titration curve, At half equivalence point pH=

A

75
Q

Describe a polytropic titration curve

A

Polyprotic has multiple equivalence points, and multiple
buffer regions

76
Q

How to choose appropriate indicator

A

Indicator must change color within the vertical range of pH change

77
Q

How to find pH of acid/base mixture at any point during a titration

A
  • Make ICF table of moles for neutralization,
  • Calculate moles and concentration of species present in
    the final solution,
  • Identify whether the final solution is a buffer mixture, has
    a weak base or a weak acid only, or has excess strong acid
    or base, and find pH accordingly.
