Module 5 - Equilibrium
The mathematical expression which relates the concentrations of products and reactants in a reversible reaction at equilibrium.
What is the equilibrium constant (Keq)?
This theory defines acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors.
What is the Brønsted-Lowry Theory?
The functional group present in all alcohols.
What is the hydroxyl group (-OH)?
The spectroscopic technique that can distinguish between isotopes of the same element based on mass-to-charge ratios.
What is mass spectrometry?
The year I started teaching.
What is 2026?
What is an endothermic reaction?
The colour change observed when methyl orange is used in the titration of a strong acid with a weak base.
What is red to yellow/orange?
This term describes the process that turns ethene into polyethylene.
What is addition polymerisation?
A beard
What is the colloquial name for a carboxylic acid peak on an IR spectrum.
The year I was born.
What is 2002?
No effect, similar to concentration but unlike temperature.
What effect does changing pressure have on the equilibrium constant?
This property makes acetic acid a weaker acid than hydrochloric acid.
What is incomplete ionisation in water (lower Ka)?
Water and polyester
What are the products of the condensation polymerisation between alcohol and carboxylic acid monomers?
An orange / red flame and a white precipitate with Sulfate
What are the results of a flame and precipitation test for a Calcium ion (Ca2+)
My favourite topic when I studied Chemistry
What is saponification?
What is the equilibrium expression for the reaction 2NO(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ 2H2O(g) + N2(g)
This is the calculated pH for a 0.25M solution of sulphuric acid (assuming complete dissociation?)
What is pH = 0.3?
The reagent used to oxidise a primary alcohol to an aldehyde under controlled conditions.
What is acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)?
peak at 1800cm-1
What is the indication of a carbonyl group on an IR spectrum?
My childhood dream job
What is a Paleontologist.
The point on the graph which the concentration of H+ and OH- are the lowest causing least conductivity.
What is the equivalence point of a conductivity graph?
This is the pH of a 0.20 M solution of ammonia, given Kb = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵.
What is 11.28?
The reaction involving heating an ester with sodium hydroxide.
What is Saponification?
This principle in green chemistry aims to minimise waste by designing chemical syntheses that produce little or no by-products.
What is atom economy?
This is my middle name.
What is Daniel?
