  1. Section 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and pH • Explain pH and pOH. • Relate pH and pOH to the ion product constant for water. • Calculate the pH and pOH of aqueous solutions. pH and pOH are logarithmic scales that express the concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions. Section 18-3

  2. The pH Scale Acids Have a pH less than 7 Bases have a pH greater than 7

  3. pH and pOH (cont.) • Litmus paper and a pH meter with electrodes can determine the pH of a solution. Section 18-3

  4. Self-Ionization of Water H2O + H2O  H3O+ + OH- At 25, [H3O+] = [OH-] = 1 x 10-7 Kw is a constant at 25 C: Kw = [H3O+][OH-] Kw = (1 x 10-7)(1 x 10-7) = 1 x 10-14

  5. pH and pOH • Concentrations of H+ ions are often small numbers expressed in exponential notation. • pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution.pH = –log [H+] Section 18-3

  6. pH and pOH (cont.) • pOH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration. • pOH = –log [OH–] • The sum of pH and pOH equals 14. Section 18-3

  7. Calculating pH, pOH pH = -log10[H3O+] pOH = -log10[OH-] Relationship between pH and pOH pH + pOH = 14 Finding [H3O+], [OH-] from pH, pOH [H3O+] = 10-pH [OH-] = 10-pOH

  8. Calculating pH from solution concentration…

  9. pH and pOH (cont.) • For all strong monoprotic acids, the concentration of the acid is the concentration of H+ ions. • For all strong bases, the concentration of the OH– ions available is the concentration of OH–. • Weak acids and weak bases only partially ionize and Ka and Kb values must be used. Section 18-3

  17. Dissociation of Strong Bases MOH(s)  M+(aq) + OH-(aq) • Strong bases are metallic hydroxides • Group I hydroxides (NaOH, KOH) are very soluble • Group II hydroxides (Ca, Ba, Mg, Sr) are less soluble • pH of strong bases is calculated directly from the concentration of the base in solution
