exam 3 Flashcards
Alpha particle
α
nucleus loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons, total: 4 nucleons
Beta particle
β
- atomic # increases by 1 proton
- 0 nucelons but - 1 charge
Positron particle
- behave like electron but w/ positive charge
- atomic # decreases by 1 proton
- 0 nucleons but + 1 charge
What does equilibrium mean?
- when a rxn and its reverse rxn proceed at the same rate
- both fwd and reverse rxn’s are occuring
Equilibrium constant
Kf / Kr = Keq (no units)
- depends only on temp
What is heterogeneous equilibria?
when/if one or more reactants or products are in a different phase
What do we exclude from K expression? (pure liquids, gasses, aqueous, solids)
Pure Liquids and solids
what is K for a fwd rxn of:
2SO₃ <=> 2SO₂ + O₂
Kf= [SO₃]²
When you multiply reaction by a number, what is done to get new K?
(K)^’
When two reactions are added, what do you do to get new K?
A + B + C = C + E
Equalssssssss
A + B = E
Kc VS Kp?
Kc: concentration-based eq. constant
ex. = [B]^b / [A]^a
Kp: pressure-based eq. constant (for gases)
ex. = (Pᴅ)ᵈ / (Pc)ᶜ
Le chateliers principle:
- any change to chem. system @ eq. causes the rxn to proceed in direction that reduces stress caused by change
Effect of change in concentration:
Keq > Q … shift RIGHT
- increased reactants
Keq < Q … shift LEFT
- increased products
Arrhenius acids: definition
- substance that when dissolved in water increases the concentration of hydrogen ion H+ (H3O+)
- typically end in -ide, -ate, or -ite
Arrhenius bases:
- substance that when dissolved in water increased concentration of hydroxide ion
- typically end in hydroxide (OH-)
Bronsted-lowry acids
proton donor!
must have removable acidic proton
Bronsted-lowry bases
proton acceptor!
must have a pair of nonbonding electrons
Acids _____ proton H+
Donate
Bases _____ proton H+
receive
Seven strong acids !!!!
- nitric acid HNO3
- chloric acid HClO3
- perchloric acid HClO4
- sulfuric acid H2SO4
- HCl
- HBr
- HI
Strong bases!!!!
- 1A hydroxides: NaOH, KOH, etc…
- group II A hydroxides: Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
Monoprotic acids
only has one proton per molecule to donate
ex: HCl -> H+ … Cl-
Polyprotic acids
can donate more than one proton per molecule
ex: H3PO4
Amphoteric substances
act as both acids and bases
“amph” = both
