Resource summary
ka and pka
kc = [Products]/[Reactants]
kc[H2O) = ka
Acid dissociation constant
ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
As ka increases, strength increases
As pka decreases, strength increases
HCl - monobasic acid
H2SO4 - dibasic
H3PO4 - tribasic
pH = -log10[H+]
kw = [OH-][H+]
[H+] = sqrt kw
ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
H+ = sqtr ka[HA]
A buffer is a solution that maintains an almost constant pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to it
Buffer consists of a roughly 50:50 mix of a weak acid and one of its salts
Making a buffer
Take a known amount of acid and a known amount of salt and mix them together
Take a known amount of a weak acid and "half neutralise" it with a strong base
In a buffer [HA] and [A-] concentrations are high
Adding a base
[HA] decreases
[A-] increases
Adding an acid
[HA] increases
[A-] decreases
Buffers: pka + log10[A-]/[HA] = pH
