Term
Kc
Definition
Ratio of ([products]/[reactants]) = a constant at a given T
Term
Kp
Definition

Kp=Kc(RT)Δn(gas)

Δn(gas)=mol gaseous products- mol gaseous reactants

Term
Reaction Quotient (Q)
Definition

A ratio of terms for a given reation conststing of product concentration multiplied together and divided by reatant concentrations multiplied together, each raised to the power of their balancing coefficient

=([C]c X [D]d)/([A]a x[B]b) for aA+bB→cC+dD

Term
Reaction quotient (Q)
Definition
For nonequilibrium conditions, the expression having the same form as Kc or Kp is called the 
Term
Kequilibrium
Definition
=kfoward/kreverse
Term
Q<K
Definition
Reaction proceeds to tright as written to achieve equilibrium
Term
Q>K
Definition
Reaction proceeds to left as written to achieve eqilibrium
Term
Arrhenius acid
Definition
A substance that has H in its formula and dissociates in water to yield H3O+
Term
Arrhenius base
Definition
A substance that has OH in its fomula and dissociates in water to yield OH-
Term
Acid dissociation constant (Ka)
Definition

An equilibrium constant for the dissociation of an acid (HA) in H2O to yield the conjgate base (A-) and H3O+

 

Ka=[H3O+][A-]/[HA]

Term
Le Chatelier's Principle
Definition
A disturbed system undergoes a net reaction to reattain equilibrium
Term
Bronsted-Lowry acid
Definition
A proton donor, any species that donates an H+ ion
Term
Bronsted Lowry base
Definition
A proton acceptor, any species that accepts the H+ ion
Term
conjugate acid
Definition
formed when a base accepts a H+ from an acid
Term
conjugate base
Definition
of an acid is the acid minus the proton it has donated
Term
Buffer range
Definition
The pH range over which a buffer acts effectively; related to the relative component concentrations
Term
Buffer capacity
Definition
A measure of the ability of a buffer to resist a change in pH; related to the total concentrations and relative proportiond of buffer components
Term
Acid-Base indicator
Definition
A species whose color is different in acid and in base, which is used to monitor the equivalence point of a titration or the pH of a solution
Term
pKa
Definition
Term
Kw
Definition
Kw= [H3O+][OH-]=1.0x10-14
Term
pH
Definition
pH= -log[H3O+]
Term
pOH
Definition
pOH= -log[OH-]
Term
pKw
Definition
pKw= pH+pOH =14.00
Term
Amphoteric
Definition
a substance that could act as both an acid and a base
Term
Common ion effect
Definition
The shift in the position of an ionic equilbirium away from formation of an ion that is caused by the addition (or prescence) of that ion.
Term
Qsp< Ksp
Definition
No precipitate will form
Term
Qsp>Ksp
Definition
A precipitate will form
Term
