Buffering Capacity
Front

chemical equilibrium
Front
In a chemical reaction, the state in which the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, so that the relative concentrations of the reactants and products do not change with time.
Back
when external pressure is increased, the reaction will
Front
Shift to the side with fewer gas molecules

equilibrium constant for the dissociation of a sparingly soluble salt (uses M)
Back
reaction quotient
Front
Ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants at any point during the reaction aside from equilibrium, where each reactant and product in the expression is raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient. Commonly denoted by Q.
Back
conjugate acid base pair
Front
consists of two substances related to each other by donating and accepting of a single hydrogen ion

Law of Mass Action
Front
The rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants (the same as an equilibrium expression)
Back
Common way to cause a pressure shift on a reaction
Front
Change the volume of the container

Changing the pressure/volume has no effect on the reaction
Back
Diprotic Acid
Front
an acid that can donate two protons per molecule
Back
Equilibrium Expression
Front
the expression obtained by multiplying the product concentrations and dividing by the multiplied reactant concentrations, with each concentration raised to a power represented by the coefficient in the balanced equation; also known as the Law of Mass Action
Back
If Q < K (less than)
Front
The reaction shifts to the right producing more products while consuming reactants.
Back
Kp
Front
equilibrium constant for general gas phase reactions using pressure in atm: Kp = Kc when moles of gas does not change
Back
Oxyacid
Front
An acid that is a compound of hydrogen, oxygen, and a third element, usually a nonmetal
Back
Determining the equilibrium in a reaction when temperature is changed (2)
Front
1. Rewrite equation by adding heat to the correct side
2. If temp is INCREASED, the reaction will shift AWAY from the added energy. If the temp is DECREASED, the reaction will shift TOWARD the added energy.
Back
if ∆G > 0 (positive), then K
Front
Less than 1
Reactants will be favored at equilibrium
Back
Buffer
Front
Weak acid base conjugate pair that resists changes in pH
Back
If Q > K (greater than)
Front
The reaction shifts to the left toward increasing the reactants and consuming the products.
Back
Henderson Hasselbach Equation
Front
pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])
Back
Le Chatelier's Principle
Front
States that if a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in the direction that relieves the stress.
Back
If Q = K
Front
The reaction is at equilibrium and the rate of the forward and reverse reactions are the same.
Back
percent ionized
Front
the ratio of the amount of a substance that is dissociated at equilibrium to the initial concentration of the substance in a solution, multiplied by 100 ; x/[HA] (100) = % ionized
Back
Common Ion effect
Front
the shift in equilibrium that is caused by adding an ion common to the system: the shift is AWAY from the ion added
Back
Solubility Product
Front
Product of the molar concentrations of dissociated ions in solution at saturation, where each ion is raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient. Denoted Ksp.
