In Arrheinus’s equation what effect does Ea have on the rate constant?
higher Ea
lower K value
What effect does temperature have on the rate constant in Arrheinus’s equation?
higher temp
larger K value
What condition is Kc dependent?
temp
If the backwards temperature is endothermic, what happens to Kc when temp inc?
Kc dec
What happens to KC when temperature dec if the backwards reaction is endothermic?
Kc inc
What state symbol is allowed in the Kc equation?
aq
2NO + O2 = 2NO2
What effect does a decreased pressure have?
lower conc of everything
denominator dec more than top so system no longer in eq
eq shifts to left
NO2 dissociates more to restore Kc
conc of reactants inc and products dec
until eq is restored
N2O4 = 2NO2
What effect does pressure have?
inc in pressure inc conc of everything
numerator in Kc exp inc more than denominator and system no longer in eq
eq shifts to left
NO2 dissociates more to restore Kc
reactants inc products dec
H2 + I2 = 2HI
What effect does temperature have?
inc in pressure inc conc of everything
both terms in Kc affected
Kc not changed so eq doesnt shift
eq stays the same
What are acids?
proton donors
What are bases?
proton acceptors
What is the different dissociations in strong acids and weak acids?
strong acids fully dissociate
weak acids partially dissociate
What is acid strength determined by?
H+ conc
What is the difference between dissociations in strong and weak bases?
strong base fully dissociates
high OH- conc
weak base partially dissociates
low OH - conc
The larger the value of Ka?
the greater the dissociation
What is a buffer solution?
resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid / alkali are added
What do acidic buffers do?
maintain pH lower than 7
What do basic buffers do?
maintain pH higher than 7
How do you make an acidic buffer?
weak acid and it’s salt conjugate base
How do you make a basic buffer?
weak base and its salt conjugate acid
What happens when you add acid to a buffer?
CH3COOH = CH3COO- +H+
H+ react with CH3COO- and equilibrium shifts left
What happens when you add acid to a buffer?
CH3COOH = CH3COO- +H+
lowers H+ concentration so CH3COOH dissociates to replace them
equilibrium shifts to the right
Where is the equivalence point?
centre of the verticla section
What is the equivalence point?
equivalent number of moles of each chemical required by the mole ratio in the equation
