  1. Chapter 8Acids, Bases and Buffers in the Body Acids and Bases—Definitions Strong Acids and Bases Chemical Equilibrium Weak Acids and Bases pH and the pH Scale pKa Amino Acids—Common Biological Weak Acids Buffers and Blood—The Bicarbonate Buffer System

  2. Brønsted Acid – Base Theory H+ = Proton = hydrogen cation H3O+ = hydronium ion (a majority of protons exist as hydronium ions in water) but this is often represented simply as H+ inequations. H+ + H2O → H3O+ Lewis dot and VSEPR structures for H3O+ Acid = proton donor Base = proton acceptor Acid properties sour taste (vinegar – pickles – citrus fruits) corrosive to metals Base properties bitter taste (many herbs are bases) slippery feel (makes soap out of fats/oils on skin)

  3. Strong Acids Dissociate completely when added to water. HCl→ H+ + Cl- H2O or …… HCl + H2O → H3O+ + Cl- An HCl solution has no HCl molecules floating around!! Write the dissociation reaction for perchloric acid.

  4. Strong Bases e.g. LiOH, NaOH, KOH, or Ca(OH)2. Dissociate completely when added to water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-). NaOH → Na+ + OH- H2O or …… OH- + H3O+ → 2 H2O or simply OH- + H+ → H2O Write the dissociation reaction for Ca(OH)2.

  5. Neutralization Reactions Acid + Base → salt (ionic compound) + water HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O Write the neutralization reaction for any two other strong acid base pairs. Strong Bases - LiOH, NaOH, KOH, or Ca(OH)2. Strong Acids – HClO4, H2SO4, HI, HBr, HCl, HNO3. What salt is formed form the reaction of nitric acid with calcium hydroxide? a) CaNO3 b) Ca2NO3 c) Ca(NO3)2 d) CaNO2 2 HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2 H2O

  6. Kw = [H+] [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 Equilibrium H2O ↔ H+ + OH- 2H2O ↔ H3O+ + OH- A small # of the molecules in pure water will dissociate. The concentration of H+ in pure water at 25ºC is always 1.0 x 10-7 M. What is the [OH-] in pure water? a) 0 b) 1.0 x 10-7 M c) < 1.0 x 10-7 M d) > 1.0 x 10-7 M The Equilibrium Constant (K) K = [H+] [OH-] [H2O] ――― liquid water is not included in equilibrium expressions

  7. Equilibrium K = __[NH3]2_ [N2] [H2]3 N2(g) + 3H2(g)↔ 2NH3(g) K = _[CO][H2]3_ [CH4] [H2O] H2O(g) + CH4(g)↔ CO(g) +3H2(g) K = ??? Include water when it’s a gas Equilibrium expressions do not include pure liquids or solids. Always include gases or solutes if the reaction is in a solution.

  8. Le Châtelier’s Principle If the equilibrium of a reaction is disturbed ( adding more of one reagent, heat, or pressure) the concentrations of reagents will readjust until K is the same (at constant T). K = __[NH3]2_ [N2] [H2]3 N2(g) + 3H2(g)↔ 2NH3(g) + heat Add reagent that is reactant – Equilibrium shifts to make more product (right) Add reagent that is product – Equilibrium shifts to make more reactants (left) Remove reagent? – Equilibrium shifts to replace the reagent removed. Add/remove heat (increase/decrease T) – Treat heat same as reactant or product For the reaction above increasing T will cause equilibrium to shift to make more reactants. The value of K for any reaction changes with temperature. Increase Pressure – Equilibrium shifts to reduce P by shifting to side with less gas. For the reaction above increasing P will cause equilibrium to shift to make more products. The Haber process used to make ammonia is carried out at 10 atm. P to increase yield.

  9. Weak Acids e.g. Acetic Acid (CH3 – COOH) Only partially dissociate when added to water. Write the dissociation reaction for acetic acid. (Use H+ rather than H3O+) Use the ↔ symbol to indicate an equilibrium is established. CH3 – COOH(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + CH3-COO- . Write the equilibrium expression for acetic acid. Use Ka for the constant (the a indicates it is an acid) Ka = [H+] [CH3-COO-] = 1.75 x 10-5 [CH3-COOH] Write the dissociation reaction and equilibrium expression for HCN and HF. Ka = 6.2 x 10-10 for HCN and 6.5 x 10-4 for HF. Which acid is stronger? a) HCN b) HF

  10. Weak Acids e.g. Acetic Acid (CH3 – COOH) Only partially dissociate when added to water. CH3 – COOH(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + CH3-COO- . Ka = [H+] [CH3-COO-] = 1.75 x 10-5 [CH3-COOH] Le Châtelier’s Principle – weak acids and their salts – buffers What happens when you add sodium acetate to a solution containing acetic acid? What is the formula for sodium acetate? NaCH3-COO Is the compound …. a) ionic b) covalent Is this compound soluble in water …. a) yes b) no Which way will the reaction above shift due to adding sodium acetate?…. a) right b) left

  11. Weak Acids Only partially dissociate when added to water. Ka = [H+] [CH3-COO-] = 1.75 x 10-5 [CH3-COOH] CH3 – COOH(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + CH3-COO-(aq) . Conjugate base. Le Châtelier’s Principle – weak acids and their salts – buffers NaCH3-COO(aq) → Na+(aq) + CH3-COO-(aq). Will this reaction occur …. Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) ↔ NaOH(aq)? a) yes b) no Will this reaction occur …. CH3-COO-(aq) + H2O ↔ OH-(aq) + CH3-COOH(aq) a) yes b) no The soluble salt of a weak acid is a/an a) acid b) base

  12. Polyprotic acids – more than one acidic hydrogen atom. H2CO3 and H3PO4 A separate dissociation equation and equilibrium expression can be written for each acidic H. H2CO3(aq) → H2O(ℓ) + CO2(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) Ka = [H+][HCO3-]=4.5 x 10-7 [H2CO3] pKa1 = -log Ka = 6.35 HCO3-(aq) → H+(aq) + CO32-(aq) Ka = [H+][CO32-]=4.8 x 10-11 [HCO3-] pKa2 = -log Ka = 10.32

  13. pH scale pOH = - log [OH-] pH = - log [H+] Kw = [H+] [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 H2O ↔ H+ + OH- In pure water [H+] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M pH = 7.0 and pOH = 7.0note that pH + pOH = 14 (this is always true in aqueous solution) This follows from [H+] [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 (log x + log y = log xy) pOH is rarely used but rather converted into pH by ….. pH = 14 - pOH

  14. pH + pOH = 14 pOH = - log [OH-] pH = - log [H+] Strong Acids Dissociate completely when added to water. HCl(aq)→ H+(aq)+ Cl-(aq) a) 1.0 b) 1.50 c) 2.00 d) 2.50 M What is the pH of a 0.020 M HCl solution?

  15. pH + pOH = 14 pOH = - log [OH-] pH = - log [H+] Strong Bases Dissociate completely when added to water. KOH(aq)→ K+(aq)+ OH-(aq) a) 2.0 b) 7.0 c) 12.0 d) 14.0 What is the pH of a 0.020 M KOH solution? The [OH-] is 0.02 M since a strong base will completely dissociate in water. Strategy: find the pOH --- then calculate the pH What is the pH of a 0.020 M NH3 (ammonia) solution? NH3 + H2O ↔ NH4+ + OH-. a) < 2.0 b) = 2.0 c) > 2.0 but less than 7.0 d) > 7.0

Le Châtelier’s Principle – weak acids and their salts – buffers What is a buffer solution? A solution that will resist changes in pH when either an acid or base are added A solution containing the combination of a weak acid and its conjugate base. Often made by mixing the acid with the salt of the acid. e.g. acetic acid + sodium acetate CH3 – COOH(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + CH3-COO-(aq). Add acid …. ↑ reaction shifts a) right b) left pH decreases slightly (you are trading strong acid for weak acid) Add base …. reaction shifts a) right b) left OH- + H+ → H2O & ……. ↓ pH increases slightly

H2CO3(aq) ↔H2O(ℓ) + CO2(aq)↔ H+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) Ka = [H+][HCO3-]=4.5 x 10-7 [H2CO3] pKa1 = -log Ka = 6.35

  20. What is the Blood’s buffer system? H2CO3(aq) ↔H2O(ℓ) + CO2(aq)↔ H+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) Blood pH is maintained in a narrow range of 7.35-7.45. If the blood pH drops below this range, a condition called acidosis occurs. If the blood pH becomes elevated, a condition called alkalosis exists. How does cellular activity affect blood pH?
