Quiz 4:  Chapter 16 (16.11) and Chapter 17 (17.1-17.3)

There is some overlap with quiz 3, particularly in terms of
Lewis Acid-Base Theory

Sections 16.11:

Lewis acid-base theory.

There are 5 links concerning acids and bases on my class web page. Go to 
the
"Helpful Tidbits" link and you will find them at the bottom. These came 
about
from answering e-mail questions from students over the years.

You should be able do to homework problems 16.1, 16.12, 16.93-16.98,

For those of you using the 10th edition the quiz covers sections 16.11
and homework problems 16.1, 16.10, 16.99-16.104, 16.121


Sections 17.1-17.2:

Common-ion effect and buffer systems. Know what is meant by a CI effect.
Buffer systems are just a special type of CI problem. You should be able to
recognize when you have a buffer system as compared to a "normal" CI 
problem.
Why? If it's a buffer system you can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch eqn. to
calculate the pH of a solution. Remember, to be a buffer you have to 
have some
of each member of a conjugate acid-base pair of a weak acid or weak base 
(e.g.
HF/F-, NH3/NH4+). To be a good buffer system the ratio of the base 
component
to the acid component (or vice versa) should be between 10 and 0.1. 
Also, the
conc. of each component should be relatively large, usually 0.001 M or 
larger.
This has to do with something called buffer capacity, how much strong 
acid or
base can be neutralized ("absorbed") by the buffer so the pH doesn't change
much.

Sections 17.3:

Acid-base titrations.

You should be able do to homework problems 17.1-17.7, 17.13-17.48,
17.83-17.97, 17.110-17.114

For those of you using the 12th edition the quiz covers sections 17.1-17.3,
and homework problems 17.1-17.7, 17.13-17.48, 17.81-17.95, 17.108-17.112

For those of you using the 11th edition the quiz covers sections 17.1-17.3,
and homework problems 17.1-17.7, 17.13-17.46, 17.75-17.90, 17.102-17.106

For those of you using the 10th edition the quiz covers sections 17.1-17.3,
and homework problems 17.1-17.5, 17.9-17.44, 17.73-17.86, 17.96-17.100

On the quiz, if you need to use an ICE table, you must show the work and 
the
ICE table. When making any assumptions you should show that your 
assumptions
are okay (less than 5% error). If the percent error is greater than 5%, you
need to solve the resulting quadratic equation or use the method of 
successive
approximations (both shown in class and in the notes). You must show this
work. If you don't, you will not get full credit.
