Q

How does temperature affect pH?

A

The ionisation of water is endothermic. So increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right. This increases the concentration of H+ ions and so decreases the pH.

25
Q

Explain how Kw increases as temperature increases?

A

The ionisation of water is endothermic p so increasing temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right. This increases the concentration of H+ and OH- ions, which increases Kw.

26
Q

How does the low solubility of some group 2 hydroxide affect pH?

A

Some group 2 has low hydroxides have low solubility as a result salts don’t fully dissolve and leading to a pH value which isn’t always as high as expected.

27
Q

Why is water always neutral?

A

As the concretatuon of OH- and H+ ions are equal

28
Q

When weak acids dissociate what do they form?

A

Dynamic equilibrium

29
Q

What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction?

A

Ka

(Acid dissociation constant

30
Q

What is the unit for Ka?

A

Mol dm-3

31
Q

The larger the Ka for an acid….

A

The stronger the acid

32
Q

To make it easier to compare Ka values what is used

A

pKa value is used

33
Q

How do you find pKa?

A

pKa =-log(Ka)

34
Q

How do you find Ka from pKa?

A

10-pKa

35
Q

The smaller the pKa value..

A

The stronger the acid is

36
Q

What is an monoprotic acid?

A

Produces 1 proton.

37
Q

Examples of monoprotic acids

A

HCl
HNO3
CH3COOH

38
Q

What is a diprotic acid?

A

Produces 2 protons

39
Q

Examples of diprotic acids

A

H2SO4

40
Q

What is a triprotic acid?

A

Produces 3 protons

41
Q

Which proton dissociates strongly?

A

1st proton

42
Q

Which proton dissociates weakly ?

A

2nd and 3rd

43
Q

How do you find pH after a neutralisation reactions?

A

Find which reactant is in excess.Calculate the amount of the excess reactant once the reaction is complete. Use your answer to step 2 alongside the volume to find concentration of [H+]or [OH-].
Find pH.

Q

What is a buffer solution?

A

A buffer solution resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.

50
Q

What do buffer solutions contain?

A

Must containHA and A-
The concentration of HA and A- must be high.

51
Q

How to make a buffer solution?

A

Mixing a weak acid with the salt of its conjugate base.

Or partially neutralising a weak acid with a strong base.

52
Q

Equation of a buffer solution.

A

HA= H+ + A-

53
Q

What happens when small amounts of acid or base are added to the buffer?

A

The equilibrium position shifts to maintain the concentration of H+.

53
Q

Adding acid to a buffer solution

A

Adding HCl increases the concentration of H+ ions which makes the equilibrium shift to the left. This decreases the concentration of H+

54
Q

Adding a bases to a buffer solution.

A

Add NaOH.
OH- + H+—>H2O
this decreases the concentration of H+ ions so the equilibrium shifts to the right. D increase the concentration of H+
