  1. Acids and Bases

  2. What are acids and bases? • Arrhenius Acids • Hydrogen-containing compounds that ionize to yield hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solutions • Arrhenius Bases • Compounds that ionize to yield hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solutions

  3. What are acids and bases? • Bronsted-Lowry Acid • A hydrogen-ion donor • Bronsted-Lowry Base • A hydrogen-ion acceptor

  4. What are acids and bases? • All acids and bases in the Arrhenius theory are also acids and bases based on Bronsted-Lowry theory. • Bronsted-Lowry includes some bases not included in the Arrhenius theory. • Ex: Ammonia (NH3)

  5. What are acids and bases? • Lewis Acid • Substance that can accept a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond • Lewis Base • Substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond

  6. What are acids and bases?

  7. Strong vs. Weak Acids and Bases • Strong acids – completely ionized in aqueous solution • Ex: HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO3, HClO4 • Weak acids – ionize only slightly in aqueous solution • Ex: Acetic acid – 1% of acetic acid molecules ionized at any instant

  8. Strong vs. Weak Acids and Bases • Strong bases – dissociate completely into metal ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solution • Ex: LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2 • Weak bases – react with water to form hydroxide ion and the conjugate acid of the base (No OH in formula) • Ex: NH3

  9. Conjugate Acids & Bases • An acid ionizes into H+ + conjugate base • A base dissociate into OH- + conjugate acid • Example: HNO2 + H2O → NO2- + H3O+ • Conjugate acid: • Conjugate base:

  10. Reacting Acids & Bases

  11. Naming Acids • Single Element: • Hydro_____ic acid • Ex: HCl = • Polyatomic Ion: • ATEic ITEous • Ex: H2SO4 = • Ex: H2SO3 =

  12. Naming Bases • Bases are named the same way as any other ionic compound • Ex: KOH

  13. Hydrogen Ions from Water • Water that LOSES a hydrogen ion becomes a negatively charged hydroxide ion (OH-) • Water that GAINS a hydrogen ion becomes a positively charged hydronium ion (H3O+)

  14. Dissociation of Water • In water or aqueous solution, hydrogen ions (H+) are joined to water molecules to form hydronium ions (H3O+) • H+ and H3O+ are both used to represent hydrogen ions in aqueous solution

  15. Dissociation of Water • Self-ionization of water: reaction in which TWO water molecules produce ions • Ex: H2O + H2O  H3O+ + OH- • Can also be written as a DISSOCIATION: • Ex: H2O (l)  H+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

  16. Concentrations • Acidity: concentration of hydrogen ions, [H+] • Alkalinity (basicity): concentration of hydroxide ions, [OH-] • Acidic: [H+] > [OH-] • Basic (Alkaline): [H+] < [OH-] • Neutral: [H+] = [OH-]

  17. pH • Acidity is measured in pH • pH = -log[H+] • Acidic: pH < 7; [H+] > 1 x 10-7 M • Basic: pH > 7; [H+] < 1 x 10-7 M • Neutral: pH = 7; [H+] = 1 x 10-7 M

  18. pOH • Basicity could be measured in a similar manner called pOH • pOH = -log[OH-] • pH + pOH = 14

  19. Measuring pH • Acid-Base Indicators • An indicator’s acid and base form have different colors in solution • Limitations: usually work at 25°C • pH paper & meters • Make rapid, accurate pH measurements • Meters: Must be calibrated – put into solution of known pH • Paper: Must have scale; qualitative measure

  20. Titrations • Measured neutralization • Neutralization reaction: • H+ ions combine with OH- ions to form water • An indicator can be used to show when the neutralization is complete
