Term
complex ion formation constant (Kf)
Definition
The equilibrium constant for a complex ion formation. Written like Q, include only aq or g.
Term
Solubility product constant (Ksp)
Definition
The equilibrium established between a solid and aqueous solution (water). The higher the Ksp The more soluble something is. Use Coeefficents as both exponents AND coefficients on s
Term
If you're given one concentration....
Definition
You can use the Ksp from a table to find the other concentration!
Term
If Q > Ksp
Definition
A precipitate will form!
Term
If Q < Ksp
Definition
A precipitate will not form.
Term
If Q = Ksp
Definition
The solution is saturated with ions, at equilibrium
Term
An ionic solid is _____ soluble in a solution containing a common ion than it is in water
Definition
An ionic solid is LESS soluble in a solution with a common ion compared to a solution with water.
Term
The larger the Ksp
Definition
The more soluble something is!
Term
Selective Precipitation
Definition
When two cations are in solution but only one of them precipitates. The one that requires the lower molarity to precipitate will be the one that does
Term
Calculating overall K
Definition
Ksp x Kf
Term
What can be used to dissolve water insoluble ionic solids?
Definition
Strong acids or complexing agents (like OH- or NH3)
Term
Spontaneous Process
Definition
A reaction system that moves a system towards equilibrium, increases randomness
Term
Most spontaneous reactions are ____
Definition
exothermic! but sometimes they're not due to phase change
Term
Randomness Tendencies
Definition
Nature tends to more from low state of probability to high probability. Nature moves towards spontaneity
Term
Entropy
Definition
The measure of disorder and randomness
Term
Entropy _____ as temperature increases
Definition
Entropy INCREASES as temperature increases!
Term
Entropy and phase changes
Definition
Entropy increases when going from solid to liquid or liquid to gas
Term
Standard Molar Entropy of Pure Substances
Definition
-Only one that is not 0
-Are always positive
-Aqueous ions may have negative molar entropies
Term
Second Law of Thermodynamics
Definition
There is a net increase in entropy during a spontaneous reaction, when the system and its surroundings are in effect.
Term
When G < 0
Definition
Reaction will be spontaneous
Term
When G > 0
Definition
Reaction will be non spontaneous
Term
When G = 0
Definition
The system is at equilibrium
Term
When G(products) < G(reactants)
Definition
The forward reaction is spontaneous
Term
When G(products) > G(reactants)
Definition
The reverse reaction is spontaneous, forward reaction is non spontaneous
Term
When G(products) = G(reactants)
Definition
There is no driving for to make reaction occur
Term
Exothermic reactions tend to be....
Definition
Spontaneous reactions!
Term
Positive Entropy changes tend to be....
Definition
Spontaneous reactions!
Term
Calculating standard G
Definition
1. use G = H - TS
2. use G(rxn) = G(products) - G(reactants) *Only at 25 Celsius
Term
When H < 0, S > 0
Definition
- G will always be negative
- The reaction will always be spontaneous
Term
When H > 0, S < 0
Definition
- G will always be positive
- The reaction will always be non spontaneous
Term
When H > 0 and S > 0
Definition
-At low T, the reaction will be non spontaneous
-At High T, the reaction will be spontaneous
Term
When H < 0 and S < 0
Definition
-At low T, the reaction will be spontaneous
-At high T, the reaction will be non spontaneous
Term
Concentration and Pressure on G
Definition
Use the Q equation:
G = G(standard) + RTlnQ
Use Q to solve for effect on G
Term
K on G
Definition
Use the K equation:
G = -RTlnK
for the equilibrium constant
Term
Coupling Reactions with G
Definition
Do what we did before by canceling to get desired reaction. Then ADD the G together for the total G
Term
voltaic cell
Definition
a spontaneous redox reaction that can serve as a source of energy
Term
Reduction
Definition
Getting "more negative", gaining electrons
Term
Oxidation
Definition
Getting "more positive", losing electrons
Term
Cathode
Definition
Where reduction occurs, so they accept the electrons
Term
Anode
Definition
Where oxidation occurs, so they lose electrons and gain "+ ions"
Term
Salt Bridge
Definition
Something that allows the positive ions to flow from the anode to the cathode.
Term
Standard Voltages
Definition
When all ions and molecules in a voltaic cell are at a concentration of 1 and all gases are at 1 atm
Term
Standard Voltage Equation
Definition
E(standard) = E(red) + E(ox)
Term
Strength of oxidizing and reducing agents
Definition
The more negative the E(red), the strong the reducing agent it is
Term
When E(cell) is positive....
Definition
The reaction is spontaneous
Term
When E(cell) is negative...
Definition
The reaction is non spontaneous
Term
E(cell) in a voltaic cell...
Definition
will always be positive
Term
Relationship with G, E, and K
Definition
Use equation G = -nFE
n = the number of moles of electrons transferred
F = farradays constant
E = standard electrical energy
