Study Notes
Calculating pH from pOH
- pH + pOH = 14
Buffer Components
- A weak acid and its conjugate base
- Or a weak base and its conjugate acid
Buffer Capacity
- The amount of acid or base a buffer can neutralize before a significant change in pH occurs
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
- pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])
- Where:
- pKa: The negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant (Ka)
- [A-]: The concentration of the conjugate base
- [HA]: The concentration of the weak acid
Optimal Buffer pH Range
- A buffer works best within ± 1 pH unit of its pKa
Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases
- Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) in water, and bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in water
Solubility & Ksp Relationship
- Ksp is the product of the ion concentrations at equilibrium in a saturated solution
- A higher Ksp value indicates greater solubility
Common Ion Effect
- The solubility of a sparingly soluble salt decreases when a soluble compound containing a common ion is added to the solution
pH Definition
- pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) in a solution
Calculating Salt Solubility from Ksp
- Use the equilibrium constant expression for the dissolution of the salt and solve for the solubility of the salt
Weak Acid Definition
- A weak acid ionizes only partially in solution, resulting in a pH higher than that of a strong acid at the same concentration
Brønsted-Lowry vs. Arrhenius Theory
- Brønsted-Lowry theory defines acids as proton donors (H+) and bases as proton acceptors, whereas Arrhenius theory focuses on the production of H+ or OH- in aqueous solutions
Lewis Theory of Acids and Bases
- Lewis acids accept electron pairs, and Lewis bases donate electron pairs. This definition encompasses both proton-based interactions and electron-pair sharing interactions.
