When salts, acids, or bases are added to water they ionize. For example: NaCl(s) → Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Could an equilibrium be established for this reaction? What happens if you add a lot of salt to a small glass of water? What would you be able to see if it was at equilibrium? What would you not see if it was at equilibrium? How would this be written at equilibrium? NaCl(s) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Are there any salts that would never come to equilibrium? What about acids or bases? Why? For acids and bases to set up an equilibrium they must be weak by definition. When they come to equilibrium (in water) we can write equilibrium expressions for them.
Ionization (Equilibrium) Constants for Monoprotic acids and bases
In general for a weak, monoprotic acid: HA H+ + A- so Ka = Why “Ka”? But acids must be in water, so it can look like this: HA + H2O H3O+ + A- Ka = [H2O] usually considered = 1
A solution of nicotinic acid was found at equilibrium to contain [HA] = 0.049M, [H3O+] = [A-] = 8.4 x 10-4 M. What is the Ka and pKa?
Starting with a 0.0100 M solution of acetic acid, when added to water 4.2% ionizes. What is the Ka and pKa?
The pH of a 0.15 M solution of chloroscetic acid (ClCH2COOH) is 1.92. What is the value of Ka?
What are the equilibrium concentrations if the Ka of 0.10 M HOCl is 3.5 x 10-8?
Calculate the percent ionization of a 0.10 M acetic acid solution.
If you haven’t caught it by now: The higher the Ka value (less negative exponent) the lower the pKa value (closer to 0). Also, the “rule of thumb” for the simplification of the quadratic only works if Ka is “x 10-4” or a larger negative exponent. When compared to the [HA]!
Calculate the [OH-] for a 0.20 M solution of NH3. Kb is 1.8 x 10-5.
Calculate the pH for a 0.20 M solution of NH3. Kb is 1.8 x 10-5.
Calculate the % ionization for a 0.20 M solution of NH3. Kb is 1.8 x 10-5.
Ionization (Equilibrium) Constants for Polyprotic acids and bases
Polyprotic acids can give off more than one H+, so it is considered to occur in steps, each with their own Ka value. For example: H3PO4 H+ + H2PO4- Ka1 = 7.5 x 10-3 H2PO4- H+ + HPO42- Ka2 = 6.2 x 10-8 HPO42- H+ + PO43- Ka3 = 3.6 x 10-13 So if the concentrations were wanted, we would need to solve all three reactions and then add up the results. (Not hard, but definitely time consuming.)
Would anyone like a shortcut? Ka3 = 3.6 x 10-13 and (remember) Kw = 1 x10-14, so the contribution of the third equation to the total of the acid is only a little larger than water’s own contribution. Specifically, if we started with 0.10 M H3PO4, the third ionization would only add 0.00000000000000000093 M H+ to the total. Rule of Thumb: “x 10-9” and larger negative exponents indicate that reaction does not contribute in any noticeable way to the total (the additional amount will be rounded away).
Calculate the concentrations in 0.10 M H2SO4. Ka2 = 1.2 x 10-2
When salts ionize it is possible one of the ions formed would react with water in a side reaction, but this reaction could change the pH. Bronstead Lowry definitions of acids and bases give us conjugate acid-base pairs. Strong acids/bases give weak conjugate bases/acids as products, and weak acids/bases give strong conjugate bases/acids.
It is the conjugates of weak acids/bases that are the ones that typically react with water. For nonexample: NaCl → Na+ + Cl- Na+ would be the cation of NaOH(a strong base) so it would be a weak acid, and would not react with water. Cl- would be the anion of HCl(a strong acid) so it would be a weak base, and would not react with water.
Strong base - weak acid example: NaC2H3O2 → Na+ + C2H3O2- Na+ would be the cation of NaOH(a strong base) so it would be a weak acid, and would not react with water. C2H3O2- would be the anion of HC2H3O2 (a weak acid) so it would be a strong base, and would react with water, like this: C2H3O2-+ H2O HC2H3O2 + OH- What type of solution is the result? What would be the pH? Why would we use Kb?
Strong acid - weak base example: NH4Cl → NH4+ + Cl- NH4+ would be the cation of NH4OH (a weak base) so it would be a strong acid, and would react with water, like this: NH4+ + H2O NH3 + H3O+ Cl- would be the anion of HCl (a strong acid) so it would be a weak base, and would not react with water. What type of solution is the result? What would be the pH? Ka or Kb?
Once the side reaction is known, the amount of acid or base formed can be calculated just like we did earlier. It might be helpful to know: Kw = 1 x10-14 = KaKb so if you know Ka and need Kb or vise-versa you can calculate what you need
Weak acid - weak base: If the salt of a strong base with weak acid gave a basic solution, and the salt of a strong acid with a weak base gave an acidic solution, then What happens if they are both weak? if Ka = Kb, then neutral if Ka > Kb, then acidic (acid was stronger than base, but still weak) if Kb > Ka, then basic (base was stronger than acid, but still weak)

More Ionic Equilibria (Acid-Base Interactions)
Much of life involves acids and bases, including your body. • What is in your stomach? • What must your pancreas produce to avoid dissolving your intestines? • When carbon dioxide is dissolved in water (blood) it forms carbonic acid. What must also be in our blood to avoid dissolving our vessels? • There are people who get sick after drinking a coke (coke contain acids). What must they be lacking?
Much of life, then, involves buffers. A buffer contains a conjugate acid-base pair with both the acid and base in reasonable concentrations. (By Bronstead-Lowry definition.) The acidic part would react with added base. The basic part would react with added acid.
