Arrhenius Acids and Bases

In 1884, Svante Arrhenius proposed these definitions acid:acid: a substance that produces H3O+ ions

aqueous solution base:base: a substance that produces OH- ions in

aqueous solution


when HCl, for example, dissolves in water, its reacts with water to give hydronium ion and chloride ion

we use curved arrows to show the change in position of electron pairs during this reaction

With bases, the situation is slightly different many bases are metal hydroxides such as KOH,

NaOH, Mg(OH)2, and Ca(OH)2

these compounds are ionic solids and when they dissolve in water, their ions merely separate

other bases are not hydroxides; these bases produce OH- by reacting with water molecules

Note the following about the conjugate acid-base pairs in the table

1. an acid can be positively charged, neutral, or negatively charged; examples of each type are H3O

+, H2CO3, and H2PO4-

2. a base can be negatively charged or neutral; examples are OH-, Cl-, and NH3

3. acids are classified a monoprotic, diprotic, or triprotic depending on the number of protons each may give up; examples are HCl, H2CO3, and H3PO4

Brønsted-Lowry Acids & Bases carbonic acid, for example can give up one proton to become

bicarbonate ion, and then the second proton to become carbonate ion

4. several molecules and ions appear in both the acid and conjugate base columns; that is, each can function as either an acid or a base

a substance that can act as either an acid or a base is said to be amphiproticamphiprotic

the most important amphiprotic substance in Table 8.2 is H2O; it can accept a proton to become H3O+, or lose a proton to become OH-

5. a substance cannot be a Brønsted-Lowry acid unless it contains a hydrogen atom, but not all hydrogen atoms in most compounds can be given up acetic acid, for example, gives up only one proton


6. there is an inverse relationship between the strength of an acid and the strength of its conjugate base the stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base HI, for example, is the strongest acid in Table 8.2, and its

conjugate base, I-, is the weakest base in the table CH3COOH (acetic acid) is a stronger acid that H2CO3

Acid-Base Equilibria we know that HCl is a strong acid, which means that the

position of this equilibrium lies very far to the right

in contrast, acetic acid is a weak acid, and the position of its equilibrium lies very far to the left

Acid-Base Equilibria

To predict the position of an acid-base equilibrium such as this, we do the following identify the two acids in the equilibrium; one on the left and one

on the right using the information in Table 10.1, determine which is the

stronger acid and which is the weaker acid also determine which is the stronger base and which is the

weaker base; remember that the stronger acid gives the weaker conjugate base, and the weaker acid gives the stronger conjugate base

the stronger acid reacts with the stronger base to give the weaker acid and weaker base; equilibrium lies on the side of the weaker acid and weaker base

Acid-Base Equilibria identify the two acids and bases, and their relative

strengths

Acid Ionization Constants

when a weak acid, HA, dissolves in water

the equilibrium constant, Keq, for this ionization is

because water is the solvent and its concentration changes very little when we add HA to it, we treat [H2O] as a constant equal to 1000 g/L or 55.5 mol/L

we combine the two constants to give a new constant, which we call an acid ionization constant, Ka

HA H2O A- H3O++ +

[HA][H2O]

[A-][H3O+]Keq =

[HA]

[A-][H3O+]Ka = Keq[H2O] =

Acid Ionization Constants Ka for acetic acid, for example is 1.8 x 10-5

because the acid ionization constants for weak acids are numbers with negative exponents, we commonly express acid strengths as pKa where

the value of pKa for acetic acid is 4.75

values of Ka and pKa for some weak acids are given in Table 10.2

as you study the entries in this table, note the inverse relationship between values of Ka and pKa

the weaker the acid, the smaller its Ka, but the larger its pKa

Properties of Acids & Bases Reaction with carbonates and bicarbonates

Properties of Acids & Bases Reaction with ammonia and amines

any acid stronger than NH4+ is strong enough to react

with NH3 to give a salt

Self-Ionization of Water

pure water contains a very small number of H3O+ ions and OH- ions formed by proton transfer from one water molecule to another

the equilibrium expression for this reaction is

Self-Ionization of Water combining these constants gives a new constant called the ion ion

product of water, Kproduct of water, Kww

in pure water, the value of Kw is 1.0 x 10-14

this means that in pure water

[H3O+][OH-]Kw = Keq[H2O]2 =

Kw = 1.0 x 10-14

[H3O+]

[OH-]

= 1.0 x 10-7 mol/L

= 1.0 x 10-7 mol/Lin pure water

Self-Ionization of Water

the product of [H3O+] and [OH-] in any aqueous solution is equal to 1.0 x 10-14 for solutions as well.

for example, if we add 0.010 mole of HCl to 1 liter of pure water, it reacts completely with water to give 0.010 mole of H3O+

in this solution, [H3O+] is 0.010 or 1.0 x 10-2

this means that the concentration of hydroxide ion is

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14

1.0 x 10-2= 1.0 x 10-12

pH and pOH

we commonly express these concentrations as pH, where

pH = -log [H3O+] we can now state the definitions of acidic and basic

solutions in terms of pH acidic solution:acidic solution: one whose pH is less than 7.0 basic solution:basic solution: one whose pH is greater than 7.0 neutral solution:neutral solution: one whose pH is equal to 7.0

pH and pOH

just as pH is a convenient way to designate the concentration of H3O+, pOH is a convenient way to designate the concentration of OH-

pOH = -log[OH-] the ion product of water, Kw, is 1.0 x 10-14

taking the logarithm of this equation gives

pH + pOH = 14 thus, if we know the pH of an aqueous solution, we can

easily calculate its pOH

Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14

pH of Salt Solutions

When some salts dissolve in pure water, there is no change in pH from that of pure water

Many salts, however, are acidic or basic and cause a change the pH when they dissolve

We are concerned in this section with basic salts and acidic salts


Basic salt: Basic salt: raises the pH as an example of a basic salt is sodium acetate when this salt dissolves in water, it ionizes; Na+ ions

do not react with water, but CH3COO- ions do

the position of equilibrium lies to the left nevertheless, there are enough OH- ions present in

0.10 M sodium acetate to raise the pH to 8.88

Acidic salt:Acidic salt: lowers the pH an example of an acidic salt is ammonium chloride chloride ion does not react with water, but the

ammonium ion does

although the position of this equilibrium lies to the left, there are enough H3O+ ions present to make the solution acidic

Acid-Base Titrations

Titration:Titration: an analytical procedure in which a solute in a solution of known concentration reacts with a known stoichiometry with a substance whose concentration is to be determined


An acid-base titration must meet these requirement1. we must know the equation for the reaction so that we

can determine the stoichiometric ratio of reactants to use in our calculations

2. the reaction must be rapid and complete

3. there must be a clear-cut change in a measurable property at the end pointend point (when the reagents have combined exactly)

4. we must have precise measurements of the amount of each reactant


As an example, let us use 0.108 M H2SO4 to determine the concentration of a NaOH solution requirement 1:requirement 1: we know the balanced equation

requirement 2:requirement 2: the reaction between H3O+ and OH- is rapid and complete

requirement 3:requirement 3: we can use either an acid-base indicator or a pH meter to observe the sudden change in pH that occurs at the end point of the titration

requirement 4:requirement 4: we use volumetric glassware

pH Buffers

pH buffer:pH buffer: a solution that resists change in pH when limited amounts of acid or base are added to it a pH buffer as an acid or base “shock absorber” a pH buffer is common called simply a buffer the most common buffers consist of approximately equal

molar amounts of a weak acid and a salt of the conjugate base of the weak acid

for example, if we dissolve 1.0 mole of acetic acid and 1.0 mole of its conjugate base (in the form of sodium acetate) in water, we have an acetate buffer

pH Buffers

How an acetate buffer resists changes in pH if we add a strong acid, such as HCl, added H3O+ ions

react with acetate ions and are removed from solution

if we add a strong base, such as NaOH, added OH- ions react with acetic acid and are removed from solution

pH Buffers

The effect of a buffer can be quite dramatic consider a phosphate buffer prepared by

dissolving 0.10 mole of NaH2PO4 (a weak acid) and 0.10 mole of Na2HPO4 (the salt of its conjugate base) in enough water to make 1 liter of solution

pH Buffers

Buffer pHBuffer pH if we mix equal molar amounts of a weak acid and

a salt of its conjugate base, the pH of the solution will be equal to the pKa of the weak acid

if we want a buffer of pH 9.14, for example, we can mix equal molar amounts of boric acid (H3BO3), pKa 9.14, and sodium dihydrogen borate (NaH2BO3), the salt of its conjugate base

pH Buffers

Buffer capacity depends both its pH and its concentration

pH The closer the pH of the buffer is to the pKaof the weak acid, the greater the buffer capacity

Concentration The greater the concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base, the greater the buffer capacity

Blood Buffers

The average pH of human blood is 7.4 any change larger than 0.10 pH unit in either direction

can cause illness To maintain this pH, the body uses three buffer

systems carbonate buffer:carbonate buffer: H2CO3 and its conjugate base,

• Therefore, the formula is Fe2(SO4)3
