#6 Determine if the following combination is true or false.
strong acid strong base equivalence point
pH = 7 @ 25 C / 298 K
#7 Determine if the following combination is true or false.
how do you calculate a buffer's pH
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA] ---> acids
pOH = pKb + log [BH+]/[B] ---> bases
the conjugate salt is on top, and the bottom is either the base or the acid
assume there is a limiting and excess reagent (because it will contain either a strong acid or base)
#8 Determine if the following combination is true or false.
in what range are buffers effective
increasing/decreasing concentrations of buffer components, but keeping the ratios constant (if you don't it'll change the buffer capacity for either acid or base respectively)
#9 Determine if the following combination is true or false.
what is a buffer
solution that is resistant to a small pH change, it has to contain a weak acid or base pared with its conjugate salt(Na+, H3O-, etc...) and it creates neutral compounds, keeping pH relatively stable
#10 Determine if the following combination is true or false.
H2O pH is always...
7, could be acid (pH) or base (pOH)
