  1. Unit 8: Acids and Bases Correlates to Topic 10 in review book, pages 174-188

  2. Unit 8: Acids and Bases • Acids = substances that react with a base; often has a low pH • May be strong or weak • Actual definition depends upon the type of acid/base • Bases = substances reacting with an acid; often has a high pH • May be strong or weak • 3 major types of acids and bases here

  3. Characteristics of Acids and Bases • Acids: • Taste sour • Conduct current in solution • React with bases to form water and salt • React with some metals to make H2(g) • Low pH • Bases: • Taste bitter • Slippery/soapy feeling • Conduct current in solution • React with acids to form salt water • Have low pOH or high pH

  4. II. Types of Acids and Bases • 1. Arrhenius • 2. Bronsted-Lowry

  5. 1. Arrhenius Acid/Base • Acid = substances that release hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions • proton donors • Ex.] HCl H+ + Cl- • Base = substances that release hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions • Hydroxide donors • Ex.] NaOH  Na+ = OH-

  6. 2. Bronsted-Lowry Acid/Base • Acid = any substance that can donate hydrogen ions in solution • Proton donors Ex.] HCl H+ + Cl- • Base = any substance that can accept hydrogen ions in solution • Proton acceptors Ex.] NH3 + H+ NH4+

  7. Lewis Acids and Bases [non-Regents] • Acid = any species that can accept an electron pair from another species in solution • Ex.] H+ + NH3  • Base = any species that can donate an electron pair to another species in solution NH4+

  8. III. Strengths of Acids and Bases • STRONG acids/bases will completely dissociate [ionize] in solution • Ex.] HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, NaOH, KOH, etc. • WEAK acids/bases produce very few ions per molecule in solution • Ex.] vinegar, H3PO4, formic acid, citric acid, etc.

  9. Acid and Base Conjugates • Acid/Base Conjugates = species that are formed in solution as a result of the dissociation of an acid or base • Ex.] HCl + NaOH  Na+ + Cl- + HOH • Cl- is the conjugate base • Na+ is the conjugate acid

  10. IV. Titrations • Titration = method used to determine the pH of an unknown solution • Process to find the concentration of an unknown acid/base by neutralizing it with a base/acid of known concentration • An indicator signals the equivalence point and tells that the neutralization is complete

  11. Titrations, [continued] Uses burets, a standard solution of known pH, an indicator, and a fixed volume of a solution with an unknown pH Titration Formula: MaVa = MbVb • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9nOIZDdvRw

  12. Acid-Base Reactions Acid + Base = Salt + water Acids and bases neutralize each other H+ + OH- H2O

  13. V. pH and pOH • pH = the scale, 0-14, that defines the acidity or basicity of a solution • Based on the concentration of hydrogen ions • 0-6 = acid • 7= neutral • 8-14 = base

  14. pOH • pOH = the measure of the concentration of OH- ions in solution • Opposite of pH • Scale 0-14 • 0-6 = strong base • 7= neutral • 8-14 = acidic

  15. Relating pH and pOH pH + pOH = 14 always! pH = -log[H+] pOH = -log[OH-]

  16. B. pH and pOH Calculations Ex. 1] What is the pH of a solution containing 9.15 x 10-6 M H+? Ex. 2] What is the pH of a solution containing [OH-] = 8.11 x 10-5 M in 350.mL of solution?

  17. C. Indicators • Indicators = compounds that change color when the pH changes • Color changes indicate the pH of the solution! • Use several indicators to pinpoint the final pH!

  18. Indicators: Table M • Find the pH using the indicator and its color in the solution… Tutorial on indicators: http://www.kentchemistry.com/links/AcidsBases/Indicators.htm
