Study Notes

Carbon Backbone and Properties

  • Carbon atoms in a backbone can rotate around a single covalent bond, resulting in molecules with different shapes.
  • Electronegativity of carbon is between that of other atoms.

Acid-Base Reactions

  • 1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H+, which is neutralized by 1 mole of NaOH, producing 1 mole of OH-.
  • The equation for acid-base reactions is: N x M1 x Vol1 = n x M2 x Vol2.

Titration and Buffer Solutions

  • A solution that can resist changes in pH is called a buffer.
  • Titration is used to determine the pKa values of weak acids.
  • At the end of the buffering capacity, pH = pKa - 1.

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

  • The equation is used to solve for [A-]/[HA] in a buffer solution.
  • Each proton dissociates at a certain pH.

Example Problem

  • A lactate buffer contains 75% lactic acid and 25% lactate; the pH can be calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
