Term
The Common-Ion Effect
Definition
The common-ion effect occurs when a given ion is added to an equilibrium mixture that already contains that ion, and the position of equilibrium shifts away from forming more of it.
Term
Formula: Find pH of an acid (H3O+) Concentration
Definition
pH = -log [H3O+]
Term
The Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
Definition
pH = pKa + log(Base/Acid)
Term
Formula to kind pka of Ka
Definition
pKa = -log Ka
Term
Buffer capacity
Definition
The more concentrated the components of a buffer, the greater the buffer capacity.
A buffer has the highest capacity when the component concentrations are equal.
Term
Buffer range
Definition
the pH range over which the buffer acts effectively.

*Buffers have a usable range within ± 1 pH unit of the pKa of its acid component.
Term
Ksp and Solubility
Definition
The higher the Ksp Value the more soluble the compound - as long as the Ksp values of compounds with the same ration of cation to anion are compared.
Term
The effect of pH on Solubility
Definition
If the compound contains the anion of a weak acid, addition of H3O+ from a strong acid increases its solubility
Term
Predicting the formation of a precipitate:
Qsp vs. Ksp
Definition
Qsp = Ksp
solution is saturated and no change occurs
Qsp > Ksp
precipitate forms until solution is saturated
Qsp < Ksp
solution is unsaturated and no precipitate forms
Term
Kf
Definition
the formation constant for a complex ion
Term
Complex ions and the solubility of precipitates:
Definition
A ligand increases the solubility of a slightly soluble ionic compound if it forms a complex ion with the cation
Term
Strong Acids
Definition
The hydrohalic acids HCl, HBr, and HI
Oxoacids in which the number of O atoms exceeds the number of ionizable protons by 2 or more, such as HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4
Term
Weak Acids
Definition
The hydrohalic acid HF
Acids in which H is not bonded to O or to a halogen such as HCN and H2S
Oxoacids in which the number of O atoms equals or exceeds by one the number of ionizable protons, such as HNO2, H3PO4, HClO
Carboxylic acids (general formula RCOOH, with the ionizable proton shown in red) such as CH3COOH and C6H5COOH
Term
Strong Bases
Definition
M2O or MOH, where M = Group 1A metal (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs)
MO or M(OH)2 where M = Group 2A metal (Ca, Sr, Ba)
Term
Weak Bases
Definition
Ammonia, NH3
Amines, (general formula RNH2, R2NH, R3N), such as CH3CH2NH2, (CH3)2NH, and (C3H7)3N
Term
K is equilibrium Constant
Q is reaction quotient
Definition
Q=K is equilibrium
