A polyprotic acid has more than one ____

exchangable hydrogen atom

A buffer solution contains a weak acid and

the salt of the weak acid

The buffer capacity is

the measure of how well a solution resists a change in pH when a strong acid or base is added

An amino acid in solution can exist inone of two forms as

neutral or zwitterionic

A reaction to be suitable for an analysis bytitration must

be fast and have a large equilibrium constant (go to completetion)

The transition range of an indicator correspondsto

a 1:10 parts change in color as a minimal observation limit or pH=pka+-1

At the equivalence point of anacid-base titration an indicator should have a pKa equal to

the pH of the solution

A multidentate ligand binds to a metal ionthrough

multiple atoms or attachment sites

A formation constant (stability constant) is the

the equilibrium constant for reaction of a metal with a ligand

In terms of the free energy for formation of ametal-chelate complex the main contribution arises from

the increase in entropy

The conditional formation constant is the

equilibrium constant for metal complex formation at a given pH

The equivalence point of a metal-EDTA titrationcorresponds to

the metal concentration from dissociation of the metal complex in pM

A redox reaction occurs by

transfer of electrons

A species is said to be oxidized when

it loses electrons

The electrode at which oxidation occurs in an electrochemical cell is the

anode

A species with a large positive standardreduction potential is

an oxidizing reagent

The reference electrode for the measurement ofstandard reduction potentials is the

standard hydrogen electrode

A salt bridge is required in a workingelectrochemical cell to

offset the flow of electrons through a circuit by a counter flow of ions between the two parts of the galvanic cell

A redox reaction has reached equilibrium whenthe potential of an electrochemical cell is

0 volts

In potentiometry an electrochemical cellcontains two electrodes identified by their function

an indicator electrode and a reference electrode

A glass electrode used to determine pH is anexample of

an ion selective electrode

A silver|silverchloride electrode is often used in potentiometric measurements as a

reference electrode

The selectivity coefficient of an electrodedescribes

the relative response of the electrode to different species of the same charge

Secondary electrodes (also called compoundelectrodes) work by

surrounding a conventional electrode with a membrane to isolate or generate the analyte to which the electrode responds

Prior to a redox titration the species to bedetermined must be

in the same oxidation state

An increase in entropy has what effect on areaction?

favors the formation of products

The free energy for a reaction is large andnegative. Does this mean the reaction is spontaneous(fast)?

No, it indicates the reaction is favorable but says nothing about the rate of the reaction.

A conjugate acid is ----?

complementary form of a base in an equilibrium reaction

adjust an ideal solution to the behavior of a real solution

In an ideal solution what is the standard form for the amount of electrolyte used in an equlibrium reaction?

molarity
