Formula Sheet — Equilibrium

Important formulas and equations from Equilibrium for MET Chemistry.

Formulas — Equilibrium

Basic Equilibrium Concepts

Kc = [C]^c[D]^d / [A]^a[B]^b
Kp = Kc(RT)^Δng
Qc = [C]^c[D]^d / [A]^a[B]^b
ΔG° = -RT ln Kc

Acids, Bases and pH

pH = -log[H+]
Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ at 25°C
pKw = pH + pOH = 14 at 25°C
Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
α = √(Ka/C)

Buffer Solutions

pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])
pOH = pKb + log([BH+]/[B])
Buffer capacity = moles of acid or base added / change in pH

Salt Hydrolysis

Kh = Kw/Ka (for salt of weak acid + strong base)
Kh = Kw/Kb (for salt of strong acid + weak base)
h = √(Kh/C)
pH = 1/2[pKw + pKa + log C]
