Kw =? (give both equations)

1. Kw = [H3O+][OH-]

2. Kw = Ka(of a W.A.) x Kb(of its C.B.)

100

Does dilution change the pH of a buffer?

Nope

100

What is a salt formed by? 

A salt is formed by the reactions of an acid and a base

100

How does the acidity of the 1st H in a polyprotic acid compare to the acidity of the 2nd H and so on?

The 1st H is more acidic than the 2nd one, and so on....
100

What is the molar solubility represented by?

"s"

200

14.00 = ?

14.00 = pH + pOH

200

Complete the following: 

The Stronger the acid, the __ Ka, the ___ Kb of it's C.B., the ___ pKa, the ___ [H+], the ___ [OH-], the ___ pH, and the ___ pOH. 

Stronger the acid, the higher the Ka, the lower the Kb of it's C.B., the lower pKa, the higher [H+], the lower [OH-], the lower the pH, and the higher the pOH. 

200

When do we know if we have a buffer?

When there is a W.A. and a salt containing it's C.B.

or 

When there is a W.B. and a salt containing it's C.A.

200

At what point in a titration do we have a "perfect" buffer and what does a "perfect" buffer look like? 

at half equivalence point (log(1)=0)

pH = pKa

200

a) How will a complex agent affect the solubility? 

b) How will a common ion affect the solubility? 

a) increase solubility 

b) decrease solubility 

300

H.H. Equation?

pH = pKa + log(basic component/acidic component) 

300

Will these scenarios produce neutral, acidic, or basic salts?

a) 1 rxn happens, hydronium is produced

b) both rxn's happen

c) 1 rxn happens, hydroxide is produced

a) acidic

b) neutral 

c) basic

300

What are the 2 steps in determining the pH of a salt? 

1. Ionization - salt breaks up into it's respective ions 

2. Hydrolysis - each ion is added to water and we see if a rxn occurs or not 

(Once we have a rxn use Ka and/or Kb equations)

300

Describe with pH's how these titration graphs would look like: (assume graphs begin with substance on the left)

a) S.A. vs S.B.

b) W.B. vs S.A. 

c) W.A. vs S.B.

a) begins with a pH way below 7.00 & ends at a pH way above 7.00

b) begins with a pH above 7.00 & ends at a pH way below 7.00

c) begins with a pH below 7.00 & ends at a pH way above 7.00

300

If we have a Ksp of 4.5x10-3 and we have a Kf of 5.8x106. What is the value of the KspKf?

KspKf = 2.6x104

400

1. What is the Ka equation?  (give in terms of x)

2. % HA diss. equation? 

1. Ka = x2/[HA]i - x

2. % = [HA]diss./[HA]i(100) or x/[HA]i(100)

400

What is the Ksp expression in terms of "s" for copper (II) phosphate? 

Ksp = [Cu2+]3[PO43-]2

Ksp = (3s)3(2s)2

Ksp = 108s5 

400

What effects the pH of a buffer? 

The addition of strong acids and bases 

400

What is the equivalence point volume of a solution containing 30.0mL of 0.25M HCN that is titrated with 0.20M NaOH?

volume = 37.5 mL

400

Will a ppt. form or not? 

a) Qsp > Ksp

b) Qsp < Ksp

a) ppt. will form

b) no ppt. will form 

500

What equation is valid at the equivalence point in a titration? 

MAVA/coeff. = MBVB/coeff.

500

What do we have at equivalence point for:

a) W.A. titrated with a S.B. (S.B. added to W.A.)

b) W.B. titrated with a S.A. (S.A. added to W.B.)

a) basic salt 

b) acidic salt


500

What is the pH of a solution that contains 2.0M HF & 1.5M KF? (Ka HF=3.5x10-4)

pH = -log(3.5x10-4) + log(1.5/2.0)

pH = 3.33

500

While doing titration calculations we are left with only a value for a strong base and a salt. Describe how we would solve for the pH from there? 

*Strong base dominates the pH of the solution (same idea with strong acids) 

-Strong base will break up into its respective ions (1 will be OH-)

-Use OH- concentration to get to pH value
