  1. Chapter 16 acids and bases

  2. are acids important? boy howdy! • lemons, heartburn, digestion, cavities, pools, cleaners, etc., etc., etc. • sulfuric acid alone is used to make fertilizers, detergents, plastics, pharmaceuticals, batteries, metals… • here we hit the highlights of acids and bases…

  3. 16.1 acids and bases • acids were first known for their sour taste (think vit c, vinegar, lemons, vomit, underarm juice, orange juice, bad milk • bases (alkalis) are known for their bitter tastes, and slippery feel; most soaps are basic

  4. the arrhenius model • svante arrhenius was the first guy to try and figure out what was going on chemically; he found: • acids produced H+ ions in aq solns • bases give us hydroxide (OH-) ions

  5. 16.1 • HCl(g)H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)this is the strong acid (hydrochloric)or… • NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)this is a strong base • but there is a better way of looking at it…

  6. the brønsted-lowry model • the brønsted way of things looked at it this way: • acids donate protons (H ions) • bases accept protons EZ!

  7. 16.1 • assume our acid is HA; then… • HA + H2O  H3O+ + A- • what happened to HA? • it lost an H (proton); it acted acidic • what happened to water? • it gained a proton; it acted as a base

  8. 16.1 • when the HA lost its H it went from acid to base; i.e. it cd get the H back at some other time • when an acid loses an H it becomes a conjugate base • when water gained a proton to become H3O+ it became an acid • called conjugate acid

  9. 16.1

  10. 16.1 • a conjugate acid-base pair differs just by one single H: • HCl/Cl- • H2O/H3O+ • NH4+/NH3 • BTW; H3O+ has a special name; hydronium ion

  11. 16.1 • can you see each of these rxns are acid-base rxns? • can you ID the conjugate pairs?

  12. 16.2 acid strength • some acids dump every H they can • they are completely ionized • = strong acids • some acids hold on tomost their Hs • they are only partiallyionized • = weak acid

  13. 16.2 strong weak

  14. 16.2 strong weak

  15. 16.2

  16. 16.2 • some acids have 2 protons that can be lost • = diprotic acid • e.g. H2SO4 • most acids are oxyacids, i.e. the proton to be lost is hooked up to an O • e.g. HNO3, HOCl, H2SO4, H3PO4

  17. 16.2 • some of the most common acids are organic acids which have a carboxyl group hooked up to them • –C–O–H || O • these critters are weak (e.g. acetic acid (vinegar), formic acid (ant bites), citric acid, vitamin C, aspirin

  18. 16.3 water as an acid and a base • water can accept a proton (to become hydronium), or… • donate a proton (to become hydroxide ion) • acts as both acid and base!!! • called amphoteric • water can actually self-ionize!…

  19. 16.3 H2O + H2O  H3O+ + OH– • this hardly happens at all (thankfully) • important toknow here thatit does happen,and even purewater has someacids and basesfloating around init…

  20. 16.3 • a soln is acidic if [H3O+] > [OH-] • a soln is basic if [H3O+] < [OH-] • a soln is neutral if [H3O+] = [OH-] • important to see here that whatever the soln is there’s always some of the enemy in there

  21. 16.4 the pH scale • fyi: [H3O+] is also known as [H+] • the pH scale is an easy way to see how acidic or basic a soln is • mathematically: pH = –log[H3O+] • if I give you the [H3O+] you can figure out the pH of the soln by: • entering the [H3O+], taking the log, and changing the sign (+/-)

  22. example • what is the pH if the [H3O+] = 0.001 M • pH = 3 • pH if the [H3O+] = 0.000021 M • pH = 4.68 • pH if the [H3O+] = 0.000000059 M • pH = 7.23

  23. 16.4 • every change of one pH unit = 10x acidic concentration change • pH > 7 basic • pH = 7 neutral • pH < 7 acidic

  24. 16.4 • to find the [H3O+] from pH do opposite • enter pH; change sign; take inverse log! • so if pH is 8.53… • change sign (-8.53) • take inv log (3.0 x 10-9 M)

  25. 16.5 measuring pH • a couple ways we have to measure pH • one way involves indicators, things which change colors in the presence of different [H3O+]…

  26. 16.5 • some indicators can be put on paper, we can read colors to determine pH

  27. 16.5 • a really accurate way of doing it is with a pH meter

  28. 16.8 buffered solutions • a buffered soln resists a change in pH even when a strong acid or base is put in it • especially important to living critters whose bio systems require a cnst pH • how does it work?

  29. 16.8 • a soln contains a weak acid HA, and its conjugate base A- • when we dump in extra acid or base these two gobble it up: • the A- reacts with the xs protons to become HA • the HA reacts with the xs OH- to become A- • overall there is little change in pH!!!
