8399359397 | pH | Is the amount hydrogen ions (H+) or hydronium ion (H3O+) In water. Acidic (H+), base (OH-) | 0 | |
8399428539 | Equilibrium constant | K=[Products]/[Reactants] | 1 | |
8399453860 | Water is amphoteric | Amphoteric means that is donates hydrogen ions in acids and accepts Hydrogen ions in bases. | 2 | |
8399496099 | Conjugate Acid | it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it, accepted hydrogen ion | 3 | |
8399541549 | Conjugate base | it is an acid with a hydrogen ion removed from it, donated Hydrogen ion | 4 | |
8399612529 | Weak acid Same base | Ka<1 | 5 | |
8399639893 | Strong acid Same base | Ka>1 | 6 | |
8399654146 | Strong acids | HCl (hydrochloric acid), HBr (Hydrobromic acid), HI ( hydroiodic acid), HClO3(chloric acid), H2SO4(sulfuric acid ),HNO3(Nitric acid) | 7 | |
8400035865 | pKa | is a measure of acid strength pKa=-log Ka | 8 | |
8400102628 | Buffer | is a solution made of acid and its Conjugate base to resist drastic change in pH or base and its conjugate acid | 9 | |
8400160613 | Henderson-hasselbalch equation | pH=pKa+ log [CB/A] ... CB: Conjugate base, A:Acid Or this can be written as pH=pKa- log [A/CB] | 10 | |
8400353965 | Ka | is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. Higher Ka means stronger acid | 11 | |
8400552872 | Why use buffers? | To mimic biological systems pH for experimental systems, such as blood pH at 7.4 or other organism/proteins that need specific pH to function at. | 12 | |
8401066359 | Kw | Ionisation constant of water Kw= K[H2O] = [H+][OH-] = 10^-14 | 13 | |
8412549149 | Acid | Have a higher Hydrogen concentration therefore stronger acids would have higher Ka. It also have less OH- ions | 14 | |
8412612443 | Base | Have a lower hydrogen concentration therefore stronger bases would have higher Kb. it also has more OH- ions. | 15 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
