Q

Why do acid-base indicators work?

A
  • indicators are weak acids or bases whose conjugates have different colors
  • color change identifies pH of substance
  • usually aqueous or absorbed on test paper

16
Q

What is the sign of a good indicator?

A

gives distinct or sharp color change at equivalence point

17
Q

litmus

A
  • best known acid-base indicator
  • dye derived from lichens
  • pink in presence of acid; blue in presence of alkalis
18
Q

universal indicator

A
  • several indicators mixed together
  • changes color many times across range of acids/alkalis
  • can be used to measure [H+] on pH scale
19
Q

acid-base titration

A
  • reacting together a carefully measured volume of one of solutions, and adding the other solution gradually
  • until reach equivalence point
20
Q

equivalence point

A

where an acid and base exactly neutralize each other

21
Q

What is the pH equation?

What is the [H+] equation?

A
  • pH = -log10[H+]
  • [H+] = 10-pH
22
Q

What are some of the features of the pH scale?

A
  • pH numbers usually positive
  • have no units
  • pH inversely related to [H+]
  • change of one pH unit represents a 10-fold change in [H+]
23
Q

What are the values of pH?

A
24
Q

pH meter

A
  • probe that directly reads [H+] through an electrode
  • have accuracy to several decimal points
  • must be calibrated before each use with buffer solution
  • must be standardized for temperature
25
Q

ionic product constant of water

A
  • Kw = [H+][OH-]
  • in pure water [H+] = [OH-​]
26
Q

Definitions of acidic, neutral, and alkali solutions by [H+]

A
  • acidic solutions [H+] > [OH-]
  • neutral solutions [H+] = [OH-]
  • alkaline solutions [H+] -]
27
Q

What is the relationship between [OH-] and [H+​]?

A

inversely proportional in aqueous solution

28
Q

strong acids/bases

A
  • ionize almost completely in solution
  • hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid
  • lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, barium hydroxide
29
Q

weak acids/bases and examples

A
  • ionize only partially in solution
  • ethanoic acid, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid
  • ammonia, ethylamine
30
Q

How do you distinguish between strong acids/bases and weak acids/bases?

A
  • strong acids/bases have higher concentration of ions than weak acids/bases
  • can only compare concentrations at same temperature
31
Q

electrical conductivity of strong/weak acids/bases

A

strong acids/bases have higher conductivity than weak acids/bases as long as same concentrations compared

32
Q

rate of reaction of strong/weak acids/bases

A

strong acids/bases have greater rate of reaction

33
Q

pH of strong/weak acids/bases

A

pH can be used to directly compare strengths of acids (as long as of equal molar concentration)
