Term
H2CO3(aq) can become two things
Definition
weak acid:H30 + HCO3 & becomes H2O +
CO2
Term
le chatiliers principle
Definition
if an equilibrium is disturbed by changing conditions,the position of the equilibrium moves to counteract that change
Term
(both reactions are in competition. eg temp can make circumstances favorable for one reaction over another
Definition
1.higher temp>gas less soluble(escapes)>reaction shifts to create/replace CO2...thereforeH2CO3 decomposes to create CO2(H2CO3>
Term
if temp is lower
Definition
more CO2 remains to dissolve in sltn>reaction can shift to consume xtra CO2(*remember: when [CO2]increases in H2O>H2CO3 is formed and for more carbonic acid
Term
When CO2 increases in water
Definition
H2CO3 is formed to counteract increase(to maintain balance)*CO2 + H2O->H2CO3 and vice versa..
Term
pH of blood must be maintained between
Definition
7.35 and 7.45...6.8to 8.0...DEATH
Term
acetic acid
Definition
HC2H3O2
Term
BUFFER is ALWAYS made up of
Definition
weak acid & it's conjugate base of that weak acid OR weak base & it's conjugate acid of that weak base
Term
Buffer problems will always be considered in terms of
Definition
How much OH- or H+ is added to buffer solution...and what will reaction be
Term
CO2 reacts with H20 to form H2CO3(aq)...Whats M @room temp of water saturated with CO2?is solubility greater?
Definition
0.0035M/greater
Term
Ideal Buffer:
Definition
a weak acid which makes an OK base b/c neither will react w/each other (cancel each other out)
Term
Buffer is:
Definition
a weak acid-H2CO3 and its conjugate base (HCO3)..where CB is acid minus an H and replaced with an Na or K (metal Ion)
Term
to make buffer solution step 1, 2
Definition
1.add CO2 +H20-> H2CO3(aq)con greater,2.now addNaHCO3(aq)->>
Na+(aq) +HCO3-(aq)
Term
whichever is CB, whichever is CA
Definition
will eat acid, will eat base
Term
Tested buffering ability of
Definition
H2O
Term
Solution is a buffer sltn if pH change is
Definition
less than 1 when acid or base is added
Term
Buffer used in lab
Definition
Carbonic Acid-Bicarbonate buffer
Term
what made CO2 in test
Definition
Dry ice
Term
BAse used in test:
Definition
NaHCO3
Term
What does a buffer do
Definition
Able to maintain an constant pH by reacting with acid or base when added to sltn
Term
Buffer is made up of:
Definition
weak acid and its conjugate base (where consumed H is replaced by Na or K)
Term
Na +H2CO3->
Definition
H2O + HCO3 + NA
