Review for Test Test review - Ka/Kb and Redox Reactions Ka/Kb What is the difference between a strong

g acid and a weak acid What is the formula to determine Ka/Kb What is a conjugate? What is the relationship between a weak acid and its strong conjugate base, and a weak base and its strong conjugate acid What is Kw? How can you use Kw to calculate Ka or Kb if you are given the Kb/Ka of the conjugate Determine the Ka/Kb, pH (x) and ion concentration (y) of a salt Determine the pH of a titration with a weak acid or base Understand the concept of buffers and the ratio to set one up

HINTS AND TIPS PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to what is being asked in your questions, identify weak acids/bases, and their conjugates and determine if you have been given the Ka/b of what you are dealing with OR the Ka/b of the conjugate base or acid!!! This is where a number of you went wrong on the test. Redox Reaction Be able to calculate oxidation numbers be able to identify what is being oxidized and what is being reduced in an equation be able to identify oxidizing agent, and reducing agent Standard Reduction Potential be able to determine (you will have the chart), be able to identify a stronger reducing or oxidizing agent Cell potential know and be able to calculate o Be able to determine if a reaction is spontaneous

What is a galvanic cell, how does it work o cathode, anode, electron flow, salt bridge, ion movement, o Be able to determine which metal is the anode and which is the cathode by determining which reaction is spontaneous Electrolysis importance, processes, concept behind the process, calculations

Test is 20 Multiple Choice - all redox related 10 True/False - all redox 3 short answer - writing questions - Ka/Kb related 7 Ka/Kb questions - 4 straight calculate pH of wa, wb, salt, titration - 3 word problems - 1 calculating pH, 2 Determining Kb, 3 preparing a solution that deals with a wa (this is what I call a 90% question - it seems hard but if you think you can get it) 1 wordy redox short answer - I pretty much told you

what this question would be today. 1 determine if spontaneous 1 thinker - determining order on SPR 1 like the can you keep X in a Y container 1 balancing question 1 coloumbs question I hope this helps. I will be in my room at lunch tomorrow. There will be Tims on Friday if I can get someone to go get it for me so please let me know if you don't drink coffee and I will get you another drink. See you tomorrow.
