ACIDS 1) Sour taste: Lemon Juice – Citric acid. Vinegar – Acetic Acid. Stomach ulcers are aggravated by hydrochloric acid. HCl Dissolve active metals, usually liberating H2. 3) Corrosive – dissolve compounds that are otherwise hard to dissolve. Examples: Precious metals such as gold (Au) dissolve in HNO3 + HCl (aqua regia). Hard water deposits dissolve in vinegar. 4) Turn litmus paper RED (low pH).
BASES • 1) Bitter taste. • 2) Dissolve oil and grease. • Drano and lye soap contain NaOH. • Breaks ester and amide bonds • Slippery to the touch – dissolves hair and skin. e.g., soap: Na+ -OOC(CH2)16CH3 • 4) React with many metal ions to form precipitates. • Mg2+ + 2OH- Mg(OH)2 • Example: • Hard water (=Ca2+, Mg2+) + soap White precipitate. (bathtub rings) • 5) Turn litmus paper BLUE (high pH)
ARRHENIUS ACIDS AND BASES Arrhenius ACID: Any compound that releases H+ when dissolved in H2O. Example: HCl(g) H+(aq) + Cl(aq) Arrhenius BASE: Any compound that releases OH- when dissolved in H2O. Example: KOH(s) + H2O (l) K+(aq) + OH(aq)
BRØNSTED - LOWRY ACIDS AND BASES BrØnsted ACID: Any compound capable of donating a H+ ion. Example: HCl(g) H+(aq) + Cl(aq) BrØnsted BASE: Any compound capable of accepting a H+ ion. Example: NH3(g) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH(aq)
WATER Water electrolyzes slightly to produce H+ and OH- reversibly. H2O H+ + OH- Autoionization of water Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 at 25oC
For pure water, [H+] = [OH-] = 10-7, so pH =7 Kw is constant even when [H+] and [OH-] are not equal Calculate [H+] in a 0.05 M Ca(OH)2 solution
pH scale Most accurate method to measure pH is to use a pH meter.However, certain dyes change color as pH changes. These are indicators.HIn = H+ + In-Indicators are less precise than pH meters.Many indicators do not have a sharp color change as a function of pH. pH = -log10[H+] (low pH = acidic) pH + pOH = -log10[H+] + -log10[OH-] = 14 Measuring pH

STRONG ACIDS Strong Acids dissociate completely when dissolved in water to form H+ and the corresponding BrØnsted base. HA H+(aq) + A-(aq) Strong acids are strong electrolytes: COMPLETE dissociation into ions [H+]final = [HA]initial = CHA (If the analytical concentration, CHA, is less than 10-6M then the autoionization of water needs to be taken into account.)
WEAK ACIDS • When dissolved in water weak acids only partially dissociate to form H+ and the corresponding base. • HA (aq) H+ (aq) + A- (aq) • Weak acids are weak electrolytes: • PARTIAL dissociation into ions • [H+]final < [HA]initial • Examples: CH3CO2H • HF • H3PO4 • Acid Dissociation Constant (Ka) <<1

OXYACIDS Many Brønsted acids consist of a central atom with several attached oxygen atoms. These are calledoxyacids. Acid strength increases with increasing oxidation number of the central atom: HOClO3 > HOClO2 > HOClO > HOCl General rule for uncharged oxyacids HxEOy: If y-x > 2 then strong(H2SO4, HNO3,…) If < 2 then weak(H2CO3, HBrO, HNO2,…)
Increasing electronegativity of the central atom increases acid strength • HOCl > HOBr > HOI
POLYPROTIC ACIDS Polyprotic acids are capable of donating more than one proton. Contain more than one ionizable proton. The Ka always gets smaller with each ionization Examples: H2CO3(aq) H+ (aq) + HCO3-(aq) Ka = 4.3 x 10-7 HCO3-(aq) H+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) Ka = 5.6 x 10-11 H3PO4 (aq) H+(aq) + H2 PO4- (aq) Ka = 7.5 x 10-3 H2PO4-(aq) H+ (aq) + HPO42- (aq) Ka = 6.2 x 10-8 HPO42-(aq) H+(aq) + PO43-(aq) Ka = 4.2 x 10-13

STRONG BASES Group I and II hydroxides (except Mg and Be). Arrhenius bases donate OH-. Brønsted bases accept H+ Examples: NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2 KOH + H2O K+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Strong bases are strong electrolytes. [OH-] = Cbase
WEAK BASES • When dissolved in water weak bases only partially react to form OH and the corresponding BrØnsted acid. • B + H2O HB+(aq) + OH(aq) • Weak bases are weak electrolytes: [OH-] < Cbase • Weak bases can be neutral • Example: NH3, amines • NH3 + H2O = NH4+(aq) + OH(aq) • Or Anions (any ion derived from a weak base)Example: F, NO2, CH3COO • F(aq) + H2O = HF(aq) + OH(aq) • Base Dissociation Constant Kb << 1

CONJUGATE ACID BASE PAIRS • Differ only by the presence or absence of a proton (H+). • Conjugate Acid = Conjugate Base + H+ • Examples: • H3O+ / H2OH2O / OH • NH4+ / NH3 • HCl / Cl • Ka x Kb = constant = 1 x 10-14 • The conjugate of a weak acid is a weak base (and vice versa) • The conjugate of a strong acid is a spectator ion (example: Cl is the conjugate base of HCl). • The conjugate acid of OH (strong base) is water.
When we add two reactions together, we multiply their equilibrium constants. For conjugate acid-base pairs: Ka x Kb = Kw = 1 x 1014 Larger Ka means smaller Kb The stronger the acid, weaker its conjugate base pKa = log Ka pKb = log Kb log ( Ka x Kb ) = log Kw = 14 log Ka log Kb = 14 pKa + pKb = 14

Hydrolysis: when a cation or anion reacts with H2O to form H+(aq) or OH(aq) • Will a salt be acidic or basic? • Salt derived from a strong acid and a strong base Neutral solution (pH = 7) Example: NaCl (from NaOH and HCl) • Salt derived form a weak acid and a strong base Basic solution (pH > 7) Examples: NaClO (NaOH and HClO) ClO (aq) + H2O HClO (aq) + OH(aq) (CH3COO)2Ba (Ba(OH)2 and CH3COOH) CH3COO(aq) + H2O CH3COOH(aq) +OH(aq)
