equation for pH | - log [H+] |
How to work out [H+] from pH | 10 ^ -pH |
Bronsted - Lowry Acid Definition | A proton donor |
Bronsted - Lowry Base Definition | A proton acceptor |
Strong Acid Definition | An acid which completely dissociates in aqueous solution |
Weak Acid Definition | An acid which only partially dissociates in aqueous solution |
Ka (Acid Dissociation Constant) | |
Units for Ka | mol dm ^ -3 |
A large Ka indicates what? | A large extent of dissociation, therefore the acid is strong |
A small Ka indicates what? | A small extent of dissociation, therefore the acid is weak |
equation for pKa | |
How to work out Ka from pKa | 10 ^ -pKa |
The smaller the value of pKa ... | ... the stronger the acid |
equation for Kw (ionic product of water) | [H+] x [OH-] |
At 25 degree Celsius, the value of Kw is | 1.00 x 10 ^ -14 |
Units for Kw | mol ^ 2 dm ^ -3 |
Buffer Definition | A mixture which minimises pH changes on the addition of small amounts of acid or base |
What is an acidic buffer solution made of? | A weak acid and a salt of the weak acid e.g ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate |
What is an alkaline buffer solution made of? | A weak base and a salt of the weak base e.g ammonia and ammonium chloride |
