Chapter 16: Aqueous Ionic Equilibrium (Part 1)
Key Topics:
- For the first portion of this chapter, you will be learning about buffers, and two types of titrations.
- Buffers:
- Know
how to make a good buffer system!
- A mixture of a Weak Acid and its Conjugate Base
- pH should be near the pKa of the acid.
- The higher
the concentrations of the acid and base, the larger the Buffer Capacity of your system.
- Use the buffer equation to solve for pH for
most systems. Understand when this equation cannot be used.
- Be able to calculate the new pH of the buffer system when a strong
acid or a strong base is added.
- Titrations
- Titrating a Strong acid with a Strong base or Titrating a strong base with a strong acid.
- You
should be able to calculate the pH at any point before, at or after the equivalence point.
- Know the characteristics of a pH curve
that goes with either of these titrations.
