acid
proton donor
base
proton acceptor
conjugate acid base pairs
HA + OH –> H2O + A
HA & A acid base pair 1
OH- & H2O acid base pair 2
basic equations
acid + metal –> salt + hydrogen
acid + oxide –> salt + water
acid + carbonate –> salt + CO2 + water
acid + hydroxide –> salt + water
pH equation
pH = -log[H+]
[H+] is concentration of H+ atoms
[H+] equation
[H+] = 10-pH
10 to the power of -pH
Diluting pH
X10 everytime to drop down pH
1 –> 2 X10
Ka expression
Ka= [H+] [A-]
[HA]
Ka= [H+]2
[HA]
Ka equation
Ka= 10-PKa
PKa equation
-log(Ka)
working out [H+] conc with Ka
[H+] = Ka x [HA]
Kw
ionic product of water
1 x 10-14
working out [H+] in alkali
you are given OH conc (overall conc)
[H+] = 1 X 10-14 / [OH-]
then put into pH equation (-log[H+] )
working out [H+] in alkali
method 1
you are given OH conc (overall conc)
[H+] = 1 X 10-14 / [OH-]
then put into pH equation (-log[H+] )
working out [H+] in alkali
method 2
you are given OH conc
put into equation POH = -log[OH-]
then do 14 - POH = pH
Rate of reaction definition
change in conc of reactant or a product per unit time
Ways to measure rate of chemical reaction
Volume of gas production
Measure loss in mass
Measure increase in mass
Measure colour change
Zero order reaction (conc&rate)
changing the concentration of the reactant has NO affect on rate of reaction
(straight horizontal line on graph)
First order reaction (conc&rate)
Rate of reaction is directly proportional to the conc of the product
-doubling conc doubles rate
1:1
Straight diagonal line through origin
Second order reaction (conc&rate)
Rate of reaction will equal concentration squared
2:1
Curved horizontal line up
Rate constant K
Rate = K [A][B][C]
constant that links the rate of reaction with conc
concentration has powers depending on order
Overall order
All orders added together
Indices
Zero order (conc&time)
Half life decreases over time
