Advanced High School Chemistry Flashcards: Complete 9-Part Course Review
Review a rigorous nine-part high school chemistry course with 450 concise cards covering concepts, models, equations, calculation setup, and lab reasoning.
このデッキについて
Study advanced high school chemistry through 450 independently written English flashcards arranged as one nine-part sequence. The course moves from atomic structure and bonding to properties of substances and mixtures, reactions, kinetics, thermochemistry, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Prerequisites appear before dependent models and calculations.
What the cards practice
The cards practice five useful recall paths: concept to explanation; model or representation to interpretation; equation to meaning and use; short setup to a result with units and reasoning; and laboratory observation to a chemical conclusion. This includes definitions, relationships, conditions, contrasts, particle and energy models, focused calculation steps, measurements, errors, and visible changes.
Selected reverse and contrast prompts appear only when the reverse direction has one clear standalone target. Mechanical permutations, graph-dependent prompts that need a missing figure, copied test formats, long multipart derivations, and visual recall tied to third-party figures are excluded. The review scheduler handles long-term spacing after installation.
The prompts, answers, examples, organization, metadata, and cover were created independently from common chemistry knowledge and original work. No protected questions, answer choices, scoring materials, curriculum prose, commercial card text, source figures, or third-party media were copied.
The Common knowledge · CC0 1.0 label applies only to the original prompts, answers, examples, organization, metadata, and cover, to the extent applicable rights exist. It does not claim ownership of scientific facts, equations, or third-party material.

回答
The lowest whole-number ratio of the elements' atoms in a compound.
カード 4
質問
How does a mixture differ from a pure substance at the particle level?
回答
A mixture contains chemically distinct representative units in variable proportions; a pure substance contains one element or compound with fixed composition. Different isotopes do not make an elemental sample a mixture.
カード 5
質問
Which particles make up an atom's nucleus?
回答
Protons and neutrons. Electrons occupy the space outside the nucleus.
カード 6
質問
What does a larger binding energy on a PES spectrum mean?
回答
More energy is required to remove that electron, so it is held more strongly by the nucleus.
カード 7
質問
How does atomic radius generally change across a period and down a group?
回答
It decreases from left to right as effective nuclear charge rises, and it increases down a group as additional electron shells increase distance and shielding.
カード 8
質問
What typical ion charge do Group 1 metals form?
回答
+1, by losing their one valence electron.
カード 9
質問
How do you convert moles to particles?

カード 10
質問
How is average atomic mass estimated from isotope data?
回答
Add each isotopic mass multiplied by its fractional abundance.
カード 11
質問
How is an element's mass percent in a compound calculated?
回答
Divide the mass contributed by that element by the compound's molar mass, then multiply by 100%.
カード 12
質問
How can measured elemental composition reveal a sample's purity?
回答
Compare the measured mass fraction with the fraction expected for the pure compound; a mismatch indicates another component.
カード 13
質問
How do you build a ground-state electron configuration with the Aufbau principle?
回答
For ordinary ground states, move through the periodic table in atomic-number order, filling each s, p, d, or f block as it appears. The subshell capacities are s², p⁶, d¹⁰, and f¹⁴. For example, Br is [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁵.
カード 14
質問
What does the relative area or height of an ideal PES peak indicate?
回答
The relative number of electrons in the corresponding subshell.
カード 15
質問
How does first ionization energy generally change across a period and down a group?
回答
It increases from left to right as effective nuclear charge rises, and it decreases down a group as distance and shielding make a valence electron easier to remove.
カード 16
質問
Why do elements in the same group form similar compounds?
回答
Their ground-state valence patterns repeat, including which outer subshells are full or partly full. That leads to similar bonding and typical ion charges.
カード 17
質問
How do you convert a sample's mass to moles?
回答
Divide its mass by its molar mass: n = m/M.
カード 18
質問
Which mass-spectrum interpretation lies outside the usual single-element model used in this deck?
回答
Assigning peaks in mixtures or peaks from multiply charged or polyatomic species; the standard model uses singly charged monatomic ions of one element.

質問
What does the law of definite proportions state?
回答
Every pure sample of a given compound has the same element mass ratios.
カード 20
質問
Why can two samples of the same mixture have different compositions?
回答
Mixture components are physically combined, so their relative amounts are not fixed by a chemical formula.
カード 21
質問
How does Coulomb's law connect charge and separation to attraction?
回答
Attraction grows with the magnitude of the charge product and decreases with the square of the separation distance.
カード 22
質問
Which PES electrons usually appear at the highest binding energy?
回答
Core electrons closest to the nucleus, because they feel the strongest nuclear attraction.
カード 23
質問
How does electron affinity generally change across a period and down a group?
回答
Electron gain generally becomes more favorable from left to right across a period and less favorable down a group as distance and shielding increase. Stable subshell patterns create substantial exceptions.
カード 24
質問
Why are alkali metals generally more reactive down the group?
回答
Their valence electron is farther from the nucleus and easier to remove.
カード 25

回答
8.00 g O. Multiply 25.0 g by 0.320.
カード 36
質問
What does a particle diagram with two unbonded species in changing ratios represent?
回答
A mixture, because more than one particle type is present and the ratio is not fixed in a formula unit.
カード 37
質問
What distinguishes valence electrons from core electrons?
回答
Valence electrons are available for bonding or ion formation; main-group valence electrons occupy the outermost shell, while transition metals may also use (n−1)d electrons. Core electrons mainly shield nuclear charge.
カード 38
質問
Why can PES peak groups reveal an atom's occupied subshells?
回答
Electrons in different subshells require distinct removal energies, producing separate binding-energy groups.
カード 39
質問
How do ion radii compare with neutral atoms and within an isoelectronic series?
回答
Cations are smaller than their neutral atoms, while anions are larger. Among species with the same electron count, more protons pull the electrons closer and produce the smaller radius.
カード 40
質問
What formula is expected for a compound between a Group 2 metal M and a Group 17 nonmetal X?
回答
MX₂, because M forms M²⁺ and X forms X⁻.
カード 41
質問
When is a covalent bond considered nonpolar?
回答
When the bonded atoms have identical or very similar electronegativities, so the shared electron density is distributed approximately evenly.
カード 42
質問
Why does a bonded pair of atoms have an equilibrium bond length?
回答
At that separation, attractive and repulsive interactions balance at minimum potential energy.
カード 43
質問
How are particles arranged in an ionic solid?
回答
Cations and anions occupy a repeating three-dimensional lattice held by electrostatic attraction.
カード 44
質問
What model explains bonding in a metal?
回答
Positive metal cores are held together by attraction to mobile, delocalized valence electrons.
カード 45
質問
How do you construct a Lewis diagram?
回答
Count total valence electrons, adding electrons for a negative charge and subtracting them for a positive charge. Choose a skeleton, connect atoms with single bonds, complete terminal duets or octets, and place remaining electrons on the central atom. Add multiple bonds if needed, then check the electron total and formal charges.
カード 46
質問
What does resonance mean in a molecule or ion?
回答
Resonance uses two or more valid Lewis diagrams with the same atom arrangement but different electron placement. The actual electron distribution is a hybrid; equivalent contributors have equal weight.
カード 47
質問
What determines molecular shape in VSEPR theory?
回答
Electron domains around the central atom arrange to minimize repulsions.
カード 48
質問
How does an ionic bond differ from a covalent bond?
回答
Ionic bonding is attraction among oppositely charged ions in an extended structure; covalent bonding uses shared electron density between atoms.
カード 49
質問
What happens to potential energy when bonded atoms are pushed much closer than equilibrium?
回答
Potential energy rises sharply because nucleus–nucleus and electron–electron repulsions dominate.
カード 50
質問
Why are many ionic solids brittle?
回答
A shifted lattice can align like charges, creating strong repulsion that splits the crystal.
カード 51
質問
What molecular shapes arise from two electron domains with no lone pairs and from three domains with zero or one lone pair?
回答
Two bonding domains give linear with a 180° angle. Three domains with no lone pairs give trigonal planar with 120° angles; replacing one bond with a lone pair gives bent with an angle slightly below 120°.
カード 52
質問
Why are metals electrically conductive as solids?
回答
Their delocalized electrons can move through the solid when an electric field is applied.
カード 53
質問
How is formal charge calculated for an atom in a Lewis diagram?
回答
Formal charge = valence electrons − nonbonding electrons − half the bonding electrons.
カード 54
質問
Why can't electronegativity difference alone classify a bond as ionic or covalent?
回答
Bonding lies on a continuum. A larger difference means more ionic character, but the element types and especially the compound's properties give the best classification.
カード 55
質問
Which shapes and bond-angle trends arise as lone pairs replace bonds in four electron domains?
回答
Four bonds give tetrahedral with ideal 109.5° angles. One lone pair gives trigonal pyramidal with smaller angles; two lone pairs give bent with typically smaller angles again because lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs.
カード 56
質問
What feature of a potential-energy curve represents bond dissociation energy?
回答
The energy difference from the curve's minimum to the separated-atoms limit.
カード 57
質問
When does an ionic compound conduct electricity?

カード 60
質問
What usually makes one resonance contributor more favorable than another?
回答
Smaller formal-charge magnitudes, appropriate negative charge on more electronegative atoms, and complete valence shells where applicable.
カード 61
質問
How many sigma and pi bonds are in single, double, and triple bonds?
回答
A single bond has one sigma bond; a double has one sigma and one pi bond; a triple has one sigma and two pi bonds. Head-on sigma overlap is stronger than side-by-side pi overlap.
カード 62
質問
Why is a polar covalent bond polar?
回答
Unequal electronegativity creates an uneven sharing of electron density and partial charges.
カード 63
質問
Which molecular shapes arise as lone pairs replace bonds in five electron domains?
回答
Five bonds give trigonal bipyramidal; four bonds and one lone pair give seesaw; three bonds and two lone pairs give T-shaped; two bonds and three lone pairs give linear.
カード 64
質問
How do ionic charge and ionic radius affect attraction between ions?
回答
Larger charge magnitudes and smaller ionic radii produce stronger attraction because the charge product increases and the ion centers are closer.
カード 65
質問
Why do ionic solids often have high melting points?
回答
Many strong Coulombic attractions throughout the lattice must be overcome to free the ions.
カード 66
質問
What is an interstitial alloy?
回答

カード 67
質問
What shape has six bonding domains and no lone pairs on the central atom?
回答
Octahedral.
カード 68
質問
Which elements commonly form incomplete octets in stable Lewis diagrams?

Hydrogen forms a duet, and electron-deficient central atoms such as boron or beryllium can have fewer than eight electrons.
カード 69
質問
How do bond order and atomic size affect covalent bond length and strength?
回答
Within a comparable bond family, higher bond order gives shorter, stronger bonds. Larger bonded atoms generally give longer bonds, which are often weaker because their orbitals overlap less effectively.
カード 70
質問
What bonding model best fits a sample that is malleable and conducts as a solid?
回答
Metallic bonding with mobile, delocalized electrons and nondirectional attractions.
カード 71
質問
What shape has six electron domains, five bonds, and one lone pair?
回答
Square pyramidal.
カード 72
質問
Which lattice should have stronger attractions: MgO or NaCl, assuming similar separations?
回答
MgO, because the charge product for Mg²⁺ and O²⁻ is larger than for Na⁺ and Cl⁻.
カード 73
質問
Why are pure metals often malleable?
回答
Metal cores can shift while the mobile electron sea maintains nondirectional attraction instead of exposing fixed like-charge planes.
カード 74
質問
What is the best Lewis structure for CO₂?
回答
O=C=O, with two lone pairs on each oxygen and no formal charges.
カード 75
質問
What shape has six electron domains, four bonds, and two opposite lone pairs?
回答
Square planar.
カード 76
質問
What limitation does an odd total number of valence electrons create for a Lewis diagram?
回答
At least one electron must remain unpaired, so not every atom can have a complete paired-electron octet.
カード 77
質問
What does a higher bond order do to a bond's potential-energy curve?
回答
It generally places the minimum at a shorter internuclear distance and makes the well deeper, corresponding to a shorter bond and a larger bond-dissociation energy.
カード 78
質問
When can a carbon–carbon double bond produce geometric isomers?
回答
When each carbon has two different substituents. The pi bond restricts rotation, so distinct spatial arrangements can persist.
カード 79
質問
When may a third-period central atom exceed an octet in a Lewis diagram?
回答
When the valid electron count and lower formal charges favor an expanded valence shell, as in species such as SF₆.
カード 80
質問
How do you decide whether a molecule with polar bonds is polar overall?
回答
Add the bond-dipole vectors using the molecular shape; symmetry may cancel them, while an asymmetric arrangement leaves a net dipole.

カード 94
質問
What molecular features generally strengthen London dispersion forces?
回答
More electrons and a more polarizable cloud strengthen temporary dipoles; greater contact area and accessible π-electron density can also strengthen the attraction.
カード 95
質問
Why do molecular solids usually have low melting points and fail to conduct electricity?
回答
Distinct molecules are held together by relatively weak intermolecular forces, while their valence electrons stay localized in bonds and lone pairs.
カード 96
質問
How do particles move in a solid?
回答
They vibrate about fixed positions and do not translate past one another.
カード 97
質問
What graph shapes connect V or P with T(K) or n for an ideal gas?
回答
All four are straight lines through the origin: V versus T(K) at fixed n and P; P versus T(K) at fixed n and V; V versus n at fixed P and T; and P versus n at fixed V and T.
カード 98
質問
At the same temperature, which gas has the greater average molecular speed: He or Xe?
回答
He. Both have the same average kinetic energy, but KE = ½mv² means the lower-mass particles move faster.
カード 99
質問
Why do real gases deviate more at high pressure?

カード 100
質問
Which relationship describes dilution when solute amount is conserved?
回答
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂.
カード 101
質問

カード 120
質問
How does an ion–dipole attraction form, and how does it compare with dipole–dipole attraction?
回答
An ion attracts the oppositely charged end of a polar molecule. Ion–dipole attractions tend to be stronger than dipole–dipole attractions.
カード 121
質問
Which solid type is usually both conductive and malleable?
回答
A metallic solid, because its delocalized electrons move and its nondirectional bonding tolerates layer shifts.
カード 122
質問

How should water orient around Cl⁻ in a particle model?
回答
Its partially positive hydrogen ends point toward Cl⁻.
カード 128
質問
Can filtration separate dissolved components of a liquid solution?
回答
No. Dissolved particles pass through the filter with the solvent; filtration only retains an insoluble solid.
カード 129
質問
Why do nonpolar molecular solutes often dissolve in nonpolar solvents?
回答
Both rely mainly on compatible London dispersion forces, so mixing can replace the attractions disrupted in the separate substances.
カード 130
質問
What does a shorter absorbed wavelength imply about an energy transition?
回答
A larger energy gap because E = hc/λ.
カード 131
質問
What is the energy of a photon with frequency 5.0 × 10^14 s^-1?
回答
3.3 × 10^-19 J. Multiply by Planck's constant: E = (6.626 × 10^-34 J·s)(5.0 × 10^14 s^-1).
カード 132
質問
How does doubling cuvette path length affect absorbance in the linear Beer–Lambert range?
回答
Absorbance doubles if concentration and molar absorptivity stay constant.
カード 133
質問
How can noncovalent interactions affect a large biomolecule?
回答
Attractions between molecules or between different regions of the same molecule help set its shape, which strongly affects its properties and function.
カード 134
質問
Why does an ionic solid usually fail to conduct as a solid?
回答
Its ions are fixed in lattice positions. The same substance conducts when molten or dissolved because the ions can then move.
カード 135
質問
Why does a gas have no definite shape or volume?
回答
Its widely spaced particles move constantly and experience minimal interparticle attraction, so they spread through the available container.
カード 136
質問
What graph shapes show the inverse pressure–volume relationship for a fixed amount of ideal gas at constant temperature?
回答
A plot of P against V is a decreasing curve, while P against 1/V is a straight line through the origin.
カード 137
質問
At the same temperature, do different ideal gases have different average kinetic energies?
回答
No. Average translational kinetic energy depends only on absolute temperature.
カード 138
質問
Under which conditions is ideal-gas behavior most accurate?
回答
Low pressure and high temperature, where particles are far apart and attractions matter least.
カード 139
質問
What particle-level feature distinguishes a solution from a heterogeneous mixture?
回答
A solution—whether solid, liquid, or gas—is uniform throughout; a heterogeneous mixture has regions or phases with different compositions.
カード 140
質問

回答
Its partially negative oxygen end points toward Na⁺.
カード 141
質問
In paper chromatography, why does one solute spot travel farther than another?
回答
It interacts more strongly with the mobile phase or more weakly with the stationary phase. With known phase polarities, that travel difference can reveal relative solute polarity.
カード 142
質問
What energy competition helps explain whether an ionic solid dissolves?
回答
The energy needed to separate lattice ions competes with the energy released when ion–solvent attractions form.
カード 143
質問

回答
Bond vibrations whose changing dipole can interact with the radiation.
カード 144
質問
Why must wavelength be converted to meters in c = λν when c is in m s^-1?
回答
Consistent units are required so meters cancel correctly and frequency comes out in s^-1.
カード 145
質問
How can fingerprints on a cuvette affect a visible-light absorbance reading?
回答
They can absorb or scatter extra light, making measured absorbance too high and the inferred concentration too high.
カード 146
質問

カード 295
質問
Can a reversible system reach equilibrium when it starts with only products?
回答
Yes, if the reverse reaction is possible. The equilibrium composition depends on temperature, initial amounts, and volume or pressure.
カード 296
質問
How do Q and K predict reaction direction?

Pure solids and pure liquids because their activities are effectively constant.
カード 298
質問
How does increasing a dissolved reactant's concentration or a gaseous reactant's partial pressure affect equilibrium at constant temperature when other Q terms are initially unchanged?
回答
It lowers Q relative to K, so the system shifts toward products until Q = K again. Changing the amount of a pure solid or liquid omitted from Q does not cause this shift while that pure phase remains present.

質問
For A ⇌ B in one fixed volume, a particulate model shows 16 A and 0 B initially, then 4 A and 12 B at equilibrium. What changed, what predominates, and what is Kc?
回答
The net change was forward: 12 A particles became 12 B particles. B predominates at equilibrium, and Kc = [B]/[A] = 12/4 = 3.0 because both counts come from the same fixed volume.
カード 301
質問
What can Ksp tell you about a salt's solubility, and when can two Ksp values be compared directly?
回答
Ksp > 1 indicates a soluble salt. For salts with the same dissolution stoichiometry, a larger Ksp generally means greater molar solubility; across different stoichiometries, calculate molar solubility before comparing.
カード 302
質問
What is the common-ion effect on solubility?
回答
Adding an ion already in the dissolution equilibrium usually decreases the solid's molar solubility.
カード 303
質問
How does uniform dilution shift an aqueous equilibrium based on the stoichiometric powers in Q?

回答
Reactants predominate at equilibrium.
カード 315
質問
How does decreasing a dissolved product's concentration or a gaseous product's partial pressure affect equilibrium when other Q terms are initially unchanged?
回答
It lowers Q and drives a net forward reaction until equilibrium returns. Changing the amount of a pure solid or liquid omitted from Q does not cause this shift while that phase remains.
カード 316
質問
Does equilibrium mean the reaction has stopped?
回答
No. Both directions continue, but equal rates produce no net macroscopic change.
カード 317
質問
Why does adding NaF reduce CaF₂ solubility?
回答
The added F⁻ raises Qsp, shifting the dissolution equilibrium toward solid CaF₂.

質問
For N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, what is Kp when P_N₂ = 0.50 atm, P_H₂ = 1.50 atm, and P_NH₃ = 0.25 atm?
回答
0.037. Use Kp = (P_NH₃)²/[(P_N₂)(P_H₂)³] = (0.25)²/[(0.50)(1.50)³]. Use equilibrium partial pressures directly; Kc↔Kp conversion isn't assessed.
カード 319
質問
What happens to Q when a gaseous equilibrium mixture is compressed at constant temperature if products have fewer gas moles?
回答
Q falls relative to K, so the reaction shifts toward products.
カード 320
質問
How do K and Q transform when a reaction is reversed, its coefficients are multiplied, or reactions are added?
回答
They follow the same algebra: reversing takes the reciprocal, multiplying every coefficient by c raises the value to the power c, and adding reactions multiplies their K or Q values.
カード 321
質問
When is the small-x approximation acceptable?
回答
When x is small relative to the initial concentration and the final result confirms the neglected change is suitably small.
カード 322

Qp = (P_NH₃)²/[(P_N₂)(P_H₂)³], using the current partial pressures rather than necessarily equilibrium values.
カード 327
質問
How does heating shift an endothermic forward reaction?
回答
Toward products, and K increases because temperature changes the equilibrium constant.
カード 328
質問
Why do both forward and reverse rates change as equilibrium is approached?
回答
As reactant and product concentrations change, the collision frequencies for the two directions change until their rates match.
カード 329
質問
CaF₂ has Ksp = 3.2 × 10^-11. What is its molar solubility in 0.10 M NaF?
回答
About 3.2 × 10^-9 M. With [F⁻] ≈ 0.10 M, Ksp = [Ca²⁺][F⁻]² gives s = (3.2 × 10^-11)/(0.10)². The common ion lowers solubility but does not change Ksp at constant temperature.

カード 348
質問
After mixing weak base B with strong acid, what controls the final solution in the three stoichiometric regimes?
回答
Excess B leaves a B/BH⁺ buffer; equimolar amounts leave BH⁺, so the solution is acidic; excess strong acid sets the pH from the remaining H₃O⁺.

カード 353
質問
Why are larger binary hydrides down a group often stronger acids?
回答
The H–A bond becomes weaker as the central atom grows, so proton release is easier.
カード 354
質問
What mainly determines buffer capacity?
回答
The concentrations of both members of the conjugate acid–base pair. Increasing both concentrations at a fixed ratio increases capacity without changing pH; capacity is best balanced for added acid and base when their concentrations are similar.
カード 355
質問
Why does acid increase CaCO₃ solubility?
回答
H₃O⁺ converts CO₃²⁻ to HCO₃⁻ or carbonic acid species, reducing free carbonate and driving more CaCO₃ to dissolve.

質問
What is the pH of 0.010 M Ba(OH)₂ at 25°C?
回答
About 12.30. Complete dissociation gives [OH⁻] = 0.020 M, so pOH = 1.70. At 25°C, pH + pOH = 14.00, so pH = 12.30.
カード 360
質問
How does a buffer respond to a small amount of added strong acid?

Its conjugate base consumes H⁺, converting to the weak acid and limiting the pH change.
カード 361
質問
Why is the equivalence-point solution basic in a monoprotic weak-acid–strong-base titration?
回答
The conjugate base produced at equivalence reacts with water to form OH⁻, so the pH is above neutral—above 7.00 at 25°C.
カード 362
質問
How is percent ionization calculated for a weak acid or weak base?

For HA, use ([H₃O⁺]equilibrium ÷ [HA]initial) × 100%. For B, use ([BH⁺]equilibrium ÷ [B]initial) × 100%, under the usual monoprotic setup.
カード 363
質問
When is Henderson–Hasselbalch useful for an initial buffer-pH calculation?
回答
Use it when both members of a conjugate acid–base pair are present in meaningful amounts, including after in-scope stoichiometry creates a buffer. Calculating the pH change after acid or base is added to an existing buffer is outside this deck’s scope.
カード 364
質問
Why does adding oxygen atoms usually strengthen oxyacids with the same central atom?

First use mole stoichiometry; if both HA and A⁻ remain, use the resulting buffer relation.
カード 369
質問
Why can pure neutral water have a pH other than 7.00?
回答
Kw changes with temperature. Neutrality means [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻], while pH = 7.00 only when Kw = 1.0 × 10^-14 at 25°C.
カード 370
質問
25.0 mL of 0.200 M HCl is diluted to 100.0 mL; what is the pH?
回答
1.301. Dilution gives [H₃O⁺] = (0.200 M)(25.0 mL)/(100.0 mL) = 0.0500 M, so pH = -log(0.0500).
カード 371
質問
How does a buffer respond to a small amount of added strong base?
回答
The weak acid consumes OH⁻, forming conjugate base and water.
カード 372
質問
How do you find the final pH after mixing a strong acid and strong base at 25°C?
回答
Use H₃O⁺ + OH⁻ → 2H₂O and compare their moles. Divide excess H₃O⁺ or OH⁻ by the total volume, then calculate pH or pOH from that excess concentration. Equal moles give pH 7.00 at 25°C.
カード 373
質問
What distinguishes acid strength from acid concentration?
回答
Strength is the equilibrium tendency to donate H⁺, reflected by Ka or pKa; concentration is the amount of acid per solution volume.

カード 377
質問
For BHX(s) ⇌ BH⁺ + X⁻, why can raising pH increase the salt's solubility?
回答
OH⁻ consumes BH⁺ to form B and H₂O, so dissolution shifts right to replace BH⁺. This is a qualitative prediction, not a pH-dependent solubility calculation.
カード 378
質問

The deprotonated form A⁻ predominates over HA.
カード 379
質問
For HA + B ⇌ A⁻ + BH⁺, which side is favored when pKa(HA) = 4 and pKa(BH⁺) = 9?

カード 382
質問
Why does a buffer fail after too much strong acid is added?
回答
Its conjugate base is depleted, so added H⁺ is no longer consumed effectively.
カード 383
質問
What do two clear equivalence regions on an acid titration curve suggest?

質問
Why is HCl stronger than HF in water despite F being more electronegative?
回答
The H–F bond is much stronger; bond strength dominates this down-group binary-acid comparison.
カード 386
質問
Why does percent ionization increase when a weak acid is diluted?
回答
Dilution shifts ionization toward more particles, so a larger fraction ionizes even though [H₃O⁺] decreases.
カード 387
質問
A buffer contains more HA than A⁻. Which addition can it neutralize in greater amount: strong acid or strong base?
回答
Strong base. The larger HA reserve consumes more added OH⁻; a buffer with more A⁻ than HA instead has greater capacity for added strong acid.
カード 388
質問
Why can removing a basic anion increase a salt's molar solubility without changing Ksp?

What is the pH of 0.200 M weak base B when Kb = 2.0 × 10^-5 at 25°C?
回答
About 11.30. The ICE setup gives Kb = x²/(0.200 − x); x ≈ 2.0 × 10^-3 M OH⁻, and the 1.0% change validates the approximation.
カード 392
質問
Why does a weak acid alone not make an effective buffer?

質問
How does equivalence-point pH compare for strong acid–strong base, weak acid–strong base, and weak base–strong acid titrations at 25°C?
回答
Strong acid–strong base: pH 7.00. Weak acid–strong base: above 7.00 because the conjugate base reacts with water. Weak base–strong acid: below 7.00 because the conjugate acid reacts with water.
カード 399
質問
Why should mole ratios replace concentration ratios after mixing buffer solutions?

What role does each half-cell solution play in an electrochemical cell?
回答
It supplies dissolved redox species at an electrode interface and carries ions within its compartment. Separate compartments prevent direct mixing while the external circuit and salt bridge connect the half-cells.

質問
How is E°cell found from standard reduction potentials?
回答
E°cell = E°cathode − E°anode, using both tabulated values as reductions.

質問
How does a cell's potential magnitude change as Q approaches or moves away from K, and what is E at equilibrium?
回答
|E| falls toward zero as Q approaches K and grows as the system moves farther from equilibrium. At equilibrium, Q = K and E = 0.

質問
How many moles of electrons pass when 1.93 × 10^5 C flows?
回答
2.00 mol e⁻, from q/F.
カード 434
質問
How does a salt bridge maintain charge balance in a galvanic cell?
回答
Anions migrate toward the anode compartment and cations toward the cathode compartment, countering the net charge imbalances created by the two half-reactions.
カード 435
質問
Why does raising a substance's temperature generally increase its entropy?
回答
Energy spreads across more accessible particle energy states, increasing the number of possible microscopic arrangements.
カード 436
質問
When can a process with ΔH < 0 and ΔS < 0 be favorable?
回答
At sufficiently low temperature, where the unfavorable -TΔS term is small.
カード 437
質問
Why can diamond persist even though graphite is more stable at standard conditions?
回答
Conversion has a large activation barrier, so diamond is kinetically persistent.
カード 438
質問
What do the external circuit and measuring device do in an electrochemical cell?
回答
The circuit carries electrons from anode to cathode; a voltmeter measures potential difference, while an ammeter in series measures current.
カード 439
質問
At constant temperature, how does increasing the volume available to a gas affect its entropy?
回答
Entropy increases because the gas particles can occupy more positions in the larger space, so more microstates are accessible.

質問
How does reversing one coupled reaction affect its ΔG?
回答
It reverses the sign of that reaction's ΔG.
カード 441
質問
Why is n required in ΔG° = -nFE°?
回答
It is the moles of electrons transferred per balanced reaction, linking charge flow to reaction extent.
カード 442
質問
What makes an electrolytic cell operate?
回答
An external power source drives a thermodynamically unfavorable redox reaction; oxidation still occurs at the anode and reduction at the cathode.
カード 443
質問
In an Mⁿ⁺/M concentration cell, which half-cell is the anode: the dilute or concentrated ion solution?
回答
The dilute half-cell. Oxidation produces Mⁿ⁺ there, while reduction consumes Mⁿ⁺ in the concentrated half-cell, so electrons flow from dilute to concentrated as the concentrations move toward equality.
カード 444
質問
How is deposited metal mass found from current and time?
回答
Find q = It, convert q/F to moles e⁻, use the half-reaction ratio to moles metal, then multiply by molar mass.

質問
How do electrode masses change in a Zn–Cu galvanic cell?
回答
The Zn anode loses mass as Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, while the Cu cathode gains mass as Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu.
カード 447
質問
What is ΔG° when ΔH° = 50 kJ mol^-1, ΔS° = 0.200 kJ mol^-1 K^-1, and T = 300 K?
回答
-10 kJ mol^-1, from ΔG° = 50 − (300)(0.200).
カード 448
質問
Why can temperature change a solid's solubility?
回答
Temperature changes the balance of ΔH and TΔS, so it changes the free energy of dissolution and the equilibrium constant.
カード 449
質問
What does the size of ΔG° relative to RT imply about K?
回答
ΔG° near zero gives K near 1. When |ΔG°| is much larger than RT, K is far from 1: negative ΔG° gives K ≫ 1, while positive ΔG° gives K ≪ 1.

質問
Bubbles form at an inert cathode in acidic solution; which half-reaction can explain them?
回答
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g). Gas evolution at the cathode can be direct evidence of reduction.
