Acid-base chemistry can be extremely confusing, particularly when dealing with weak acids and bases. This set of lessons presents an updated view of the Brønsted-Lowry theory that makes it easy to understand answers to common questions: What's the fundamental difference between a strong acid and a weak acid? Can acid A neutralize base B? Why are some salts acidic and others alkaline? How do buffers work? What governs the shapes of titration curves? This complete rewrite of the previous 1996 pdf document is now organized into seven lessons covering all aspects of the subject. Much emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of calculations, including how to deal with quadratic equations and how to judge when approximations are appropriate.

level Chemistry Chemical Equilibria Revision - Chemical Equilibria A reversible reaction is one where there is a forward and backward reaction occurring: The double arrow signifies a reversible reaction. If in the above reaction the concentrations of A, B, C, D do not change, although the reaction is still in progress, then the forward rate must equal the backward rate. A situation known as dynamic equilibrium has been reached. Any dynamic equilibrium can be described in terms of its equilibrium constant, Kc. The equilibrium constant is the product of the molar concentrations of the products raised to the power of its coefficient in the stoichiometric equation, divided by the product of molar concentrations of the reactants, each raised to the power of its coefficient in the stoichiometric equation. So for the reaction: The equilibrium constant is given by: Where [] represents the concentration of the species in moldm-3. For gaseous systems, we use Kp instead of Kc.
