%ionization: [H+]/[HA] x 100, increases with dilution

approximation [H+] of weak acid from [HA]: [H+] ≈ √[HA] x Ka

approximation [OH-] of weak acid from [B]: [OH-] ≈ √[B] x Kb

Equivalence point of strong acid and base: pH = 7

Equivalence point of strong acid and weak base: pH < 7 because of weak conjugate acid

Equivalence point of weak acid and strong base: pH > 7 because of weak conjugate base

Half equivalence point: [HA] = [A-], Ka = [H+], pH = pKa

when [HA] > [A]: more acidic buffer [H+] > Ka

when [HA] < [A]: less acidic buffer [H+] < Ka

strong acid titrated with strong base: start at low pH, end at high pH

weak acids/bases titration: buffer softens curve

diprotic acid titration curve: two equivalence and half titration points

AP15

S: entropy, measure of dispersion of matter and energy

S of phases: s < l < g and usually s < aq

rxns that increase S: rxns that break up compounds/produce gases

units of S: J/K

∆G˚: standard Gibbs free energy, determines if rxn is thermodynamically favored based on 1 molar 1 atm, indicates how much work can be done as rxn progresses to equilibrium

∆G˚ units: kJ/mol

if ∆G˚ = -20kJ/mol then K will be very large and rxn goes to completion

if ∆G˚ = +20kJ/mol then K will be very small and no significant amt of product

Oxidation number of F: -1

oxidation number of halogens: -1, unless bonded to atom with > electronegativity

oxidation number of O: -2, unless in peroxide, -1

oxidation number of H: +1, unless as a hydride, -1

oxidation number of alkali metals: +1

oxidation number of alkaline earth metals: +2

oxidation number of Al: +3

oxidation: loss of electrons at anode

reduction: gain of electrons at cathode

flow of electrons: towards cathode

cathode: site of reduction, any nonreactive conductive substance, surface for Y+ to Y

anode: site of oxidation, metal erodes into solution

salt bridge: allows movement of ions to balance charges, A- goes to anode, B+ goes to cathode

standard voltage for hydrogen reduction: 0
