CHM 1046
Review Test 3
3. Acid-Base Equilibria in aqueous solutions general concepts
a. Autoionization of water Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1 x 10-14
b. pH and pOH
c. Classification of substances as acids (strong & weak) bases and salts
d. Effects of pH in solutions of strong acids or bases
e. Effects of pH in weak acidic or basic solutions; % ionization; Ka and Kb
f. Polyprotic acids Ka1, Ka2, etc (compare this case to weak monoprotic acid ionization)
g. Buffers and buffer action (addition of strong acids or base to buffers)
[H+]= a/s x K; [OH-]=b/s x K
