K, Q and manipulating K

For aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD, Kc = [C]^c[D]^d / ([A]^a[B]^b). Leave out pure solids and liquids (including water as the solvent): Zn(OH)₂(s) + 2 OH⁻(aq) ⇌ [Zn(OH)₄]²⁻(aq) has K = [Zn(OH)₄²⁻]/[OH⁻]². Rules: reversing an equation inverts K; multiplying the coefficients by n raises K to the power n (halving takes the square root); adding equations multiplies their K values. For gases, Kp = Kc(RT)^Δn, with Δn = moles of gaseous product − moles of gaseous reactant and R = 0.08206 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. Example: 2 SO₂ + O₂ ⇌ 2 SO₃ has Δn = −1, so at 1000 K a Kc of 2.8 × 10² gives Kp = 280/(0.08206 × 1000) = 3.4. The reaction quotient Q has the same form as K but uses the concentrations present right now. Q < K: net forward reaction; Q > K: net reverse reaction; Q = K: at equilibrium. Example: for PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂ with Kc = 0.040, a mixture with [PCl₅] = 0.50 M and [PCl₃] = [Cl₂] = 0.10 M has Q = (0.10)(0.10)/0.50 = 0.020 < K, so more PCl₅ dissociates. Only temperature changes K; concentrations, pressure and catalysts change Q or the rate, not K.

ICE tables

Write Initial, Change and Equilibrium rows in mol/L. Find the direction from Q first, then let the change follow the coefficients (2x for a coefficient of 2). Example: 0.50 M PCl₅ with Kc = 0.040 gives x²/(0.50 − x) = 0.040. Dropping x gives x = √0.020 = 0.141 M, which is 28 % of 0.50 M, so the 5 % test fails. Solve x² + 0.040x − 0.020 = 0 instead: x = [−0.040 + √(0.0016 + 0.080)]/2 = 0.123 M. Keep only the root that leaves every concentration positive. If both sides start with the same power, as in A + B ⇌ 2C from equal amounts, take the square root of K instead of solving a quadratic. If an equilibrium concentration is measured, the change row follows from it directly: if 0.200 M of a diatomic gas X₂ gives 0.0060 M of X atoms at equilibrium, the molecules have lost 0.0030 M (half as much, from the 1 : 2 coefficients) and 0.197 M of X₂ remains.

Le Châtelier's principle

A disturbed equilibrium shifts in the direction that partly undoes the change. Adding a species shifts away from it; removing one shifts toward it, including removal by another reaction (OH⁻ added to an equilibrium that contains H₃O⁺ removes H₃O⁺). Halving the volume of a gas mixture shifts toward fewer moles of gas; if Δn = 0 there is no shift. An inert gas added at constant volume changes no partial pressure, so there is no shift. Diluting a solution shifts toward the side with more dissolved particles; to check, multiply every concentration in Q by the dilution factor and compare with K. Heating favours the endothermic direction: K rises with temperature for an endothermic reaction and falls for an exothermic one. A catalyst speeds up both directions equally, so equilibrium is reached sooner but K and the equilibrium composition do not change. Adding the conjugate base of a weak acid (a common ion) shifts HA ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ to the left, lowering [H₃O⁺] and the percent ionization.

pH of strong and weak acids and bases

At 25 °C, Kw = [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴, pH + pOH = 14.00 and, for a conjugate pair, Ka × Kb = Kw. Strong acids (HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, HClO₄, H₂SO₄ first proton) and group 1 and heavier group 2 hydroxides ionize completely: count the H₃O⁺ or OH⁻ per formula unit. A weak acid needs an ICE table: Ka = x²/(C − x). For 0.10 M benzoic acid (drawn; Ka = 6.3 × 10⁻⁵), x = √(6.3 × 10⁻⁶) = 2.5 × 10⁻³ M, pH 2.60, 2.5 % ionized, so the approximation holds. If x would exceed 5 % of C, use the quadratic. A weak base works the same way with Kb and gives [OH⁻]: 0.10 M NH₃ (Kb = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵) has [OH⁻] = 1.34 × 10⁻³ M, pOH 2.87 and pH 11.13. Common traps: reporting pOH as pH, using the pKa as the pH, forgetting the square root, and confusing equal concentration with equal pH (at equal pH a weak acid solution holds far more total acid than a strong one).

Salts

Look at each ion separately. Cations of strong bases (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺) and anions of strong acids (Cl⁻, Br⁻, NO₃⁻, ClO₄⁻) do not change the pH. The conjugate base of a weak acid makes OH⁻, with Kb = Kw/Ka; the conjugate acid of a weak base makes H₃O⁺, with Ka = Kw/Kb. Example: 0.10 M sodium benzoate (drawn): Kb = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴/6.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁰, [OH⁻] = √(1.6 × 10⁻¹¹) = 4.0 × 10⁻⁶ M, pOH 5.40, pH 8.60. The weaker the parent acid, the stronger the conjugate base and the higher the pH of its sodium salt at equal concentration.

Polyprotic acids

A polyprotic acid loses protons one at a time, with Ka1 > Ka2 > Ka3. When Ka1 is much larger than Ka2, the first step sets the pH and the second adds a negligible amount of H₃O⁺. For carbonic acid (drawn; Ka1 = 4.3 × 10⁻⁷, Ka2 = 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹) at 0.020 M, [H₃O⁺] = √(4.3 × 10⁻⁷ × 0.020) = 9.3 × 10⁻⁵ M, pH 4.03, and [CO₃²⁻] ≈ Ka2 = 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹ M because [H₃O⁺] ≈ [HCO₃⁻]. The fully deprotonated anion is a base whose conjugate acid is the last proton donor, so Kb(CO₃²⁻) = Kw/Ka2 = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴. An amphiprotic ion such as HCO₃⁻ can act as either: compare its Ka (Ka2) with its Kb (Kw/Ka1 = 2.3 × 10⁻⁸); the larger one decides whether its sodium salt is acidic or basic. At a given pH, the major species is the one whose pKa values bracket that pH: below pKa1 the fully protonated acid, between pKa1 and pKa2 the singly deprotonated ion, and so on.

What to carry forward

Write K from the balanced equation (no solids or pure liquids), compute Q before any ICE table, and remember that only temperature changes K. For pH, decide first whether each species is strong, weak or spectator; use [H₃O⁺] = √(Ka·C) or [OH⁻] = √(Kb·C) and check the 5 % rule; get Kb of an anion from Kw/Ka of the acid it came from; for polyprotic acids let the first step set the pH and match the last proton donor to the fully deprotonated anion.
