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
