Acid-Base Equilibrium Chapter 18
Acids and Bases • Arrhenius • acids: generate H+ in water • bases: generate OH- in water • Brønsted-Lowry • acids: H+ donors • bases: H+ acceptors • HCl + H2O Cl + H3O+ • acid base
Acid + Base Base + Acid Conjugate acid-base pairs • Conjugate base: • remains after H+ is lost • acid: HCl conj. base: Cl- • Conjugate acid: • remains after H+ is gained • base: NH3 conj. acid: NH4+ Conjugate Pair Conjugate Pair
Strong and Weak Acids • Strong:100% dissociation • good H+ donor • equilibrium lies far to right (HNO3) • generates weak base (NO3-) • Weak:<100% dissociation • not-as-good H+ donor • equilibrium lies far to left (CH3COOH) • generates strong base (CH3COO-)

[H3O+] and [OH-] • [H3O+] 1x100 to 1x10-14 in water • [OH-] 1x10-14 to 1x100 in water
pH Scale • pH 0 to 14 in water • pOH 14 to 0 in water • pKw = pH + pOH = 14

Polyprotic Acids 1. H3PO4H2PO4- + H+ • Ka1 = 7.2 x 10-3 • 2. H2PO4-HPO42-+ H+ • Ka2 = 6.3 x 10-8 • 3. HPO42-PO43-+ H+ • Ka3 = 4.2 x 10-13 Ka1 > Ka2 > Ka3
Strength of Bases • Strong: • 100% dissociation • OH- supplied to solution • NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) • Weak: • <100% dissociation • OH- by reaction with water CH3NH2(aq) + H2O(l) CH3NH2(aq)+ OH-(aq)
Structure and Acid-Base Behavior • Binary hydrides: • 1. Bond polarity (high acid strength) • 2. Bond strength (low acid strength)
Structure and Acid-Base Behavior • Binary oxides: • 1. Acidic oxides (acid anhydrides) • O—X bond: strong and polar • SO2, SO3, NO2, P4O10, … • 2. Basic oxides (basic anhydrides) • O—X bond: ionic • K2O, CaO, …
Structure and Acid-Base Behavior • Oxoacids (HaXbOc): • 1. Same number of O on different X • EN of X • 2. Different number of O on same X • more O
