  2. Strong and Weak acids Equilibrium and pH Strong Acids: HClO4 H2SO4 HNO3 HI HBr HCl HClO3 Weak Acids: “The Rest”

  3. 25.0 mL of 0.10M Acetic acid Ka=1.8 x 10-5 Starting pH Equivalence point 0.10 M NaOH

  4. Acetic acid is a weak acid. What would be the starting pH of the solution if it were a strong acid? (25.0 mL of 0.10M Acetic acid) Do a quick calculation as if acetic acid were a strong acid and compare this value to that on the graph. How do the two values compare? Weak Acid: Graph starting pH = 2.87 Calculated as Strong acid: pH = -log(0.10) = 1.0 How and Why are they different? “Let’s investigate!”

  5. Weak Strong

  6. How do the two values compare? Graph starting pH = 2.87 Strong acid calculation: pH = -log(0.10) = 1.0 What is the significance of this difference? Since the two values differ by ~2 pH units and pH is a log scale, the concentration of H3O+ in the strong acid calculation is 1 x 102 or 100 times greater than that observed on the graph. Let’s see WHY they are different?

  7. Strong Acids: 100% ionized (completely dissociated) in water. HCl + H2O  H3O+ + Cl- Note the “one way arrow”. Weak Acids: Only a small % (dissociated) in water. HC2H3O2 + H2O H3O+ + C2H3O2- Note the “2-way” arrow. Why are they different?

  8. Strong Acids: HCl HCl HCl HCl HCl (H2O) ADD WATER to MOLECULAR ACID

  9. Strong Acids: Cl- H3O+ (H2O) Cl- H3O+ H3O+ Cl- Cl- H3O+ H3O+ Cl- Note: No HCl molecules remain in solution, all have been ionized in water.

  10. Weak Acid Ionization: HC2H3O2 HC2H3O2 (H2O) HC2H3O2 HC2H3O2  HC2H3O2 Add water to MOLECULES of WEAK Acid

  11. Weak Acid Ionization: HC2H3O2 HC2H3O2 (H2O) HC2H3O2  H30+ C2H3O2- HC2H3O2 HC2H3O2 Note: At any given time only a small portion of the acid molecules are ionized and since reactions are running in BOTH directions the mixture composition stays the same. This gives rise to an Equilbrium expression, Ka

  12. pH calculations: To do pH calculations one must consider both the nature and condition (amount of ionization) of the species in the solution and then calculate the concentration of the hydronium ion (H+ or H3O+).

  13. Strong acid: [H3O+] = concentration of acid so: pH = -log [H3O+] = -log[acid] Weak Acid: one must calculate the [H3O+] from an equilibrium ionization expression. HA + H2O  H3O++ A- Ka = _ [H3O+][A-] [HA] These are equilibrium concentrations.

  19. Region 2 Theory and Calculations: Base has been added and some of the acid has been neutralized. What has changed and WHY? 1. The moles of acid is decreased. 2.
