Chemical Equilibrium
a state of dynamic equilibrium in which the rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction are equal
Law of Mass Action
describes equilibrium condition
Large K Values
the equilibrium favors the products
Small K Values
the equilibrium favors the reactants
LeChatelier's Principle
when stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond by relieving the stress
Exothermic Reaction
heat is a product
Endothermic Reaction
heat is a reactant
Common Ion Effect/Salt Effect
an equilibrium will shift if a common ion is added to the solution
Q > K
too many products, favor reverse reaction
Q < K
too many reactants, favor forward reaction
Q = K
reaction is at equilibrium
Acid
proton donor, proton must be bound to a highly electronegative element
Base
proton acceptor
Amphoteric
substance that can react as an acid or a base
Strong Acids
100% dissociation of acidic protons
Weak Acids
less than 100% acid dissociation
Strong Bases
100% base hydrolysis in water
Weak Bases
less than 100% base molecules/ions accept protons
Leveling Effect
limits the acid strength of solutes in a particular solvent
Buffer Solutions
weak acid/weak base conjugate pair that resists pH change
Buffer Capacity
the amount of acid/base that a buffer system can resist before pH starts to change rapidly
Titration Equivalence Point
point where the reaction ended
Titration End Point
point where the indicator changes color
Intramolecular Forces
forces holding a molecule together
Intermolecular Forces
forces holding molecules or aggregates of ions/atoms together
Polar Molecules
asymmetrical molecules that have an electronegativity difference greater than or equal to 0.5
these molecules form dilpoles
The Intermolecular Forces From Strongest to Weakest
Ionic Forces > Hydrogen Bonding > Dipoles > London Forces
London Dispersion Forces
weak temporarily induced dipoles
The Relationship Between Intermolecular Forces and Surface Tension
the stronger the intermolecular forces, the stronger the surface tension
Cohesive Force
attraction within the substance/mixture
Adhesive Force
attraction between different substances
Viscosity
resistance to flow
The Relationship Between Intermolecular Forces and Viscosity
the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the viscosity

Molality
moles of solute per kilogram of solvent
Mole Fraction
the ratio of a solute’s molar amount to the total number of moles of all solution components
