Module 1 and 2 Flashcards
K > Q which reaction is favoured
Forward
K < Q which reaction is favoured
Backward
Will a precipitate form if Q > K
Yes
Will a precipitate form if Q < K
No
The stronger the acid or base, the _____ the conjugate
Weaker
Ligands act as
Lewis bases
Acid base reactions involve the exchange of
1 proton
Redox reactions involve the exchange of
Electrons
“X is titrated with Y” (where are these solutions located)
X in flask (unknown concentration), Y in burette (known concentration)
Ratio of buffer made with weak acid or base and conjugate
1:1
Ratio of buffer made with weak acid/base and strong acid/base
2:1
Ionisation status depends on
pH of solution and pKa of functional group
Percent protonated when >1 unit below pKa
90%
Percent deprotonated when >1 unit above pKa
90%
Amino acid pKa below which all are protonated
2.5
Amino acid pKa above which all are deprotonated
9.5
𝚫fH
change in enthalpy for the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its constituent elements in their standard states (already in standard states= 0)
𝚫vapH
change in enthalpy for one mole of a substance changing from a liquid to a gas
𝚫fusH
change in enthalpy for one mole of a substance changing from a solid to a liquid
𝚫comH
change in enthalpy for the combustion of one mole of a substance in oxygen (products CO2, H2O)
Negative change in enthalpy
Exothermic
Positive change in enthalpy
Endothermic
Spontaneous meaning
Once started continues without help, not necessarily to completion
Standard entropy conditions
1molL^-1, 1 bar pressure, no value for temperature
