1.11 Curved Arrows – Extremely Important • Curved arrows are used to track the flow of electrons in chemical reactions. • Consider the reaction shown below which shows the dissociation of AB:
Curved Arrows to Describe a Reaction Many reactions involve both bond breaking and bond formation. More than one arrow may be required.
1.12 Acids and Bases - Definitions Arrhenius An acid ionizes in water to give protons. A base ionizes in water to give hydroxide ions. Brønsted-Lowry An acid is a proton donor. A base is a proton acceptor. Lewis An acid is an electron pair acceptor. A base is an electron pair donor.

Acids and Bases: Arrow Pushing [H3O+][Br–] Ka = ~ 106 for HBr, pKa = - 5.8 [HBr]
Need to know by next class: pKa = -log10Ka STRONG ACID = LOW pKa WEAK ACID = HIGH pKa HI, HCl, HNO3, H3PO4pKa -10 to -5 Super strong acids H3O+pKa – 1.7 RCO2HpKa ~ 5 acids PhOHpKa ~ 10 get H2O, ROHpKa ~ 16 weaker RCCH (alkynes) pKa ~ 26 RNH2 pKa ~ 36 Extremely weak acid RCH3 pKa ~ 60 Not acidic at all
1.14 What happened to pKb? • A separate “basicity constant” Kb is not necessary. • Because of the conjugate relationships in the Brønsted-Lowry approach, we can examine acid-base reactions by relying exclusively on pKa values. pKa ~60 Essentially not acidic Corresponding base Extremely strong
strongest H—X bond weakest H—X bond 1.15 How Structure Affects Acid/Base Strength • Bond Strength • Acidity of HX increases (HI>HBr>HCl>HF) down the periodic table as H-X bond strength decreases and conjugate base (X:- anion) size increases (basic strength of anion decreases).
least electronegative most electronegative Electronegativity Acidity increases across periodic table as the atom attached to H gets more electronegative (HF>H2O>H2N>CH4).
Inductive Effects Electronegative groups/atoms remote from the acidic H can effect the pKa of the acid. pKa = 16 pKa = 11.3 • O – H bond in CF3CH2OH is more polarized • CF3CH2O- is stabilized by EW fluorine atoms
Resonance Stabilization in Anion Delocalization of charge in anion (resonance) makes the anion more stable and thus the conjugate acid more acidic e.g. (CH3CO2H > CH3CH2OH). pKa ~16 pKa ~5
1.16 Acid-base reactions - equilibria The equilibrium will lie to the side of the weaker conjugate base
