pH • There are many ways to consider acids and bases. One of these is pH. • [H+] is critical in many chemical reactions. • A quick method of denoting [H+] is via pH. • By definition pH = –log [H+], [H+] = 10-pH • The pH scale, similar to the Richter scale, describes a wide range of values • An earthquake of “6” is 10 as violent as a “5” • Thus, the pH scale condenses possible values of [H+] to a 14 point scale • Also, it is easier to say pH=7 vs. [H+]=1x10–7
Calculations with pH Q: What is the pH if [H+]= 6.3 x 10–5? pH = –log [H+] (‘6.3’, ‘exp’ or ‘EE’, ‘5’, ‘+/-’, ‘log’, ‘+/-’) (‘-’, ‘log’, ‘6.3’, ‘exp’ or ‘EE’, ‘-’, ‘5’) Ans: 4.2 Q: What is the [H+] if pH = 7.4? [H+] = 10–pH mol/L (’10’, ‘xy’, ‘7.4’, ‘+/-’, ‘=‘) (’10’, ‘^’, ‘-’, ‘7.4’, ‘=‘) 3.98x10–8 M
2 a) pH = –log [H+] = –log [1x10–8] = 8.0 b) pH = –log [H+] = –log [1x10–7] = 7.0 c) pH = –log [H+] = –log [2.5x10–6] = 5.60 d) pH = –log [H+] = –log [1.3x10–4] = 3.89 3 a) [H+] = 10–pH = 10–5.4 = 4 x 10–6 mol/L b) [H+] = 10–pH = 10–5.72 = 1.9 x 10–6 mol/L
Ionization + H H O H O Cl Cl H H H • O (e.g.H2SO4) was originally thought to cause acidic properties. Later, H was implicated, but it was still not clear why CH4 was neutral. • Arrhenius made the revolutionary suggestion that some solutions contain ions & that acids produce H3O+ ions in solution. Historical views on acidsArrhenius acids and bases + + • Arrhenius acid forms H30+ (hydronium ion) • Arrhenius base forms OH- (hydroxide ion)
Lewis Acid • In 1923, G. N. Lewis (yes, the Lewis structure guy) suggested a way of describing a number of reactions that did not fit the Bronsted definition of acid-base reactions, yet seemed to have some unifying structural features. He suggested: • A Lewis acidis an electron pair acceptor. • Lewis baseis an electron pair donor. • The simplest reaction is for a Lewis acid to interact with a Lewis base to give a Lewis acid/base complex: A + BA-B
Lewis acid/base Example • Note several things about this reaction: • They are charge balanced - that is the total charge of all species is the same on both sides of the equations • The product is sometimes described as a Lewis "complex"
+ + + H H O H O Cl Cl H H H • In this idea, the ionization of an acid by water is just one example of an acid-base reaction. The Bronsted-Lowry concept conjugate acid conjugate base acid base conjugate acid-base pairs • Acids and bases are identified based on whether they donate or accept H+. • “Conjugate” acids and bases are found on the products side of the equation. A conjugate base is the same as the starting acid minus H+.
