25
for gaseous reactions, increasing pressure will push equilibrium
in the direction of fewer molecules
26
if a reaction is exothermic, a temperature increase will favour
reactants
27
if a reaction is endothermic, a temperature increase will favour
products
28
linking entropy with equilibrium constants
ln(K) = -deltaH/RT + deltaS/R
29
van'T Hoff equation
ln(K1/K2) = deltaH/R(1/T1 - 1/T2)
30
ICE tables
initial, change, equilibrium
31
equation connecting K(p) and K(c)
K(p) = K(c)(RT)^delta(n)(gas)
32
other value (not 8.314)
0.0821 L atm/mol K
33
if K > 1, deltaG is expected to be
negative
34
if K < 1, deltaG is expected to be
positive
35
Lewis acids and bases
electron acceptors (acids) and donors (bases)
36
Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases
proton donors (acids) and bases (acceptors)
37
all ions/molecules are surrounded by solvent (water) to form a
solvation shell
38
HA is acid,
A^- is the conjugate base
39
B is the base
HB+ is the conjugate acid
40
weak acid-base pair is always
favoured in the equilibrium
41
water undergoes
self-ionisation and is a weak acid and weak base (reaction lies to left)
42
ionisation constant, K(w)
extent of ionisation of water; [H+][OH-] = 10^-14
43
in pure water, [H+] =
[OH-] = 10^-7
44
solution is neutral when
[H+] = [OH-]
45
ionisation of water is an
endothermic process
46
addition of other substances may change [H+] and [OH-], but the
product of their concentrations is always constant
47
[H+] > 10^-7 M
acidic
48
[H+] < 10^-7
basic
49
pH
—log[H+]
50
pOH
—log[OH-]
51
pH + pOH =
14
52
K(a), acid dissociation constant
[H3O+][A-]/[HA]
53
pK(a)
—log[K(a)]
54
strong acids have
high K(a) and small pK(a)
55
K(b), base equilibrium constant
[OH-][BH+]/[B]
56
pK(b)
—log[K(b)]
57
strong bases have
high K(b) and small pK(b)
58
strong acids
ionise almost completely in solution; reaction lies to right
59
conjugate base of a strong acid is very
weak
60
for strong acids, the [H3O+] concentration equals
the acid concentration
61
for strong bases, we can assume the concentration of the base equals
the [OH-] concentration
62
for weak acid, equilibrium lies well to
left
63
calculating pH of solutions of weak acids
[H3O+] = (K(a)[HA])^1/2 and go from there
64
[weak acid initially in solution ] = very close to
[weak acid concentration at equilibrium]
65
5% Rule
if dissociation is <5%, approximation is valid
66
% dissociation
[conjugate base]/[acid] x 100
67
calculating pH of solutions of weak bases
write equation, write basicity constant, write ICE table (if only base added, [BH+] = [OH-]), decide if base can be assumed weak and solve for x ([OH-]), check assumption is correct
68
buffered solution is one that
resists a change in pH when either OH- or H+ ions are added
69
good buffers will have close to equal
proportions of acid and its conjugate base
70
if too much acid or base is added to the buffer, it will
fail
71
buffer strength is at its strongest when
pH = pK(a)
72
Henderson-Hasselbach equation
pH = pK(a) + log([A-]/[HA])
73
solving buffer problems without using Henderson-Hasselbach equation
write out the chemical equilibrium, use an ICE table, write out the equilibrium constant and define in terms of x, solve for x
74
buffers may be prepared by adding a weak acid
and its conjugate base to a solution
75
buffers may be prepared by adding enough strong base to
neutralise the weak acid
76
polyprotic acids
molecules able to be ionised more than once
77
negative charge on an acid makes it
harder to ionise
78
lewis acids are
cations, incomplete octet, polar bonds
79
lewis bases are
anions, H2O, lone pairs
80
conjugate acids and bases in a buffer solution should have similar concentrations
within a factor of 10
81
when creating buffers, if not adding conjugate acid/base and simply adding a random STRONG acid/base, only add
HALF original concentration
82
factors deciding whether an acid is strong or not
electronegativity, hybridisation, resonance stabilisation of anions
83
more electronegative the non-hydrogen atom,
the more acidic
84
the larger the ion,
the more the products are favoured and the stronger the acid (charge is stabilised)
85
loss of charge on dissociation
favours that reaction
86
increasing s orbital contribution
sp^3 < sp^2 < sp
87
acidity is judged by stability of
anion formed after releasing proton
88
increasing acidity (orbitals)
sp^3, sp^2, sp
89
stabilised anion -> resonance
stronger acid
90
cations of bases NOT HAVING resonance
stronger base
91
Mesomeric
+M or -M
92
electron-donating groups
+M; have lone pair of electrons; stabilise positive charges and destabilise conjugate base
93
electron-withdrawing groups
-M; have full/partial positive charge and stabilise negative charges; stabilise conjugate base
94
if Ksp is very small,
solid is only sparingly soluble
95
solubility
amount of a salt in a specified volume of a saturated solution. Measured in M. Find concentration of salt at equilibrium!
96
presence of a common ion
decreases solubility of the salt
97
if Q = Ksp
saturated; at equilibrium
98
if Q < Ksp
unsaturated; more salt can dissolve
99
Q > Ksp
supersaturated; precipitation will occur to bring system to equilibrium
100
equilibrium constant for soluble reactions
> 1
101
equilibrium constant for insoluble reactions
< 1
102
precipitation reaction equation
creating the solid
103
higher value for solubility,
less soluble (see Ksp)
104
finding pH for weak acid
pH = 1/2pK(a) -1/2log[HA]
105
K(a) x K(b) =
10^-14
106
if Ka(2) for second reaction is very small, assume
this reaction is negligible when calculating pH and [conjugate base] = [overall H3O+]
107
diluting a buffer solution does not change [base] : [acid] ratio, so
pH of solution will not change
108
pK(a) + pK(b)
= 14
