buffer capacity depends on the number of moles present
smaller ions have a larger lattice energy
greater molar mass= greater LDFs
linear=2 bonding pairs
trigonal planar=3 bonding pairs
tetrahedral=4 bonding pairs
trigonal bipyramidal= 5 bonding pairs
octahedral= 6 bonding pairs
electron deficient elements: Be (2) B(3)
Expanded octets: P(5) S(6)
molecules with the lowest charge and highest molar mass will plate out the greatest mass of metal
when a current is run through water, it will both reduce into hydrogen gas and oxidize into oxygen gas
standard reduction potential of ions must be greater than the metal's SRP for a reaction to occur
if Q=K, the cell is at equilibrium and has zero voltage
the best indicator changes color at the equivalencepoint of the titration.
more ions in solution=greater conductivity
all single bonds are sigma bonds, additional bonds are pi bonds
as long as temp remains constant, so does K.
an element that is more electronegative will have the negative partial charge
HCl is strong
HBr is strong
HI is strong
HClO4 is strong
HNO3 is strong
H2SO4 is strong
HF is weak
HC2H3O2 is weak
HNO2 is weak
HOCl is weak
HCO2H is weak
HCN is weak
H2SO3 is weak
H2CO3 is weak
as [HA] decreases, percent ionization increases, [H3O+] decreases, pH increases
Dilution with water causes the value of Q to become less than Ka. This causes a shift in the equilibrium with a net conversion from reactants to products. As a result, the percent ionization of the acid increases.
common ion effect: if the salt that is being dissolved shares an ion with the solution it is being dissolved in, less of that salt will dissolve.
saturated- solute dissolves until it is unable to dissolve, leaving undissolved substances at bottom.
unsaturated- completely dissolves, no remaining substances.
