What is Le Chateliers Principle?
If dynamic equilibrium is distributed, the position of equilibrium shifts the counter active change
What is the dynamic equilibrium?
Exist in a system composed of at least two states when the populations of the two states are constant, even though the members of the system are constantly changing from one state to another
What is the equilibrium constant?
Expresses the relationship between products & reactants at equilibrium
The equilibrium constant’s numerical description is between
Bond strengths & intermolecular forces between all the molecules in the system
Equilibrium favors the
Reactive side, which shifts to the right
The concentrations of solids & liquids do not
Appear in the equilibrium constant
Acids will _______ a hydrogen ion
Donate
A base will _______a hydrogen ion
Accept
An acid is a species that
Increases the hydronic ion H3O concentration in an aqueous solution
A base is a species that
increases the hydroxide ion OH concentration in an aqueous solution
In an acid-base reaction, the acid is converted into its
Conjugate base & the base is converted into its conjugate acid
What is an amphiprotic species?
Can behave as either an acid or a base (water)
A strong acid will completely
Ionize in an aqueous solution (completely dissociates in water)
A strong acid has a
Weak conjugate base
What is the strongest base?
Hydroxide
Weak bases do not
Completely ionize in water
Dynamic equilibrium is established between
An acid & base
What is a common weak acid?
Ammonium
What is a polyprotic acid?
Capable of losing more than a single proton per molecule
1st stage (fastest)-most easily lost
Phosphorilic acid is a
A weak acid (also triprotic)
1st proton is readily donated
There are equilibrium constants for
Each weak acid (Ka)
A larger equilibrium constant means a
Stronger acid (Kb)- equilibrium constant for a weak base
In pH, “p” means
Negative Logarithm
The “H” in pH is
Hydrogen ion concentration
