Autoionization of Water • Water is actually an extremely weak electrolyte. • Therefore, there must be a few ions present. • About 1 out of every 10 million water molecules form ions through a process called autoionization. H2O Û H+ + OH– H2O + H2O Û H3O+ + OH– • All aqueous solutions contain both H3O+ and OH–. • The concentration of H3O+ and OH– are equal in water. • [H3O+] = [OH–] = 1 x 10-7M at 25 °C in pure water. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Ion Product of Water • The product of the H3O+ and OH– concentrations is always the same number. • The number is called the ion product of water and has the symbol Kw. • [H3O+] x [OH–] = 1 x 10-14 = Kw. • As [H3O+] increases, the [OH–] must decrease so the product stays constant. • Inversely proportional. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Acidic and Basic Solutions • Neutral solutions have equal [H3O+] and [OH–]. • [H3O+] = [OH–] = 1 x 10-7 • Acidic solutions have a larger [H3O+] than [OH–]. • [H3O+] > 1 x 10-7; [OH–] < 1 x 10-7 • Basic solutions have a larger [OH–] than [H3O+]. • [H3O+] < 1 x 10-7; [OH–] > 1 x 10-7 Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Example—Determine the [H3O+] for a 0.00020 M Ba(OH)2 and Determine Whether the Solution Is Acidic, Basic, or Neutral. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Practice—Determine the [H3O+] Concentration and Whether the Solution Is Acidic, Basic, or Neutral for the Following: • [OH–] = 0.000250 M • [OH–] = 3.50 x 10-8 M • Ca(OH)2 = 0.20 M Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
pH • The acidity/basicity of a solution is often expressed as pH. • pH = ─log[H3O+], [H3O+] = 10−pH • Exponent on 10 with a positive sign. • pHwater = −log[10-7] = 7. • Need to know the [H+] concentration to find pH. • pH < 7 is acidic; pH > 7 is basic; pH = 7 is neutral. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
pH, Continued • The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution; the higher the pH, the more basic the solution. • 1 pH unit corresponds to a factor of 10 difference in acidity. • Normal range is 0 to 14. • pH 0 is [H+] = 1 M, pH 14 is [OH–] = 1 M. • pH can be negative (very acidic) or larger than 14 (very alkaline).
Example—Calculate the pH of a 0.0010 M Ba(OH)2 Solution and Determine if It Is Acidic, Basic, or Neutral. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Practice—Calculate the pH of the Following Strong Acid or Base Solutions. • 0.0020 M HCl • 0.0050 M Ca(OH)2 • 0.25 M HNO3 Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Calculate the Concentration of [H3O+] for a Solution with pH 3.7. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
pOH • The acidity/basicity of a solution may also be expressed as pOH. • pH = ─log[OH−], [OH−] = 10−pOH • Exponent on 10 with a positive sign. • pOHwater = −log[10−7] = 7. • Need to know the [OH−] concentration to find pOH. • pOH < 7 is acidic; pOH > 7 is basic, pOH = 7 is neutral. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
pOH, Continued • The lower the pOH, the more basic the solution; the higher the pOH, the more acidic the solution. • 1 pOH unit corresponds to a factor of 10 difference in basicity. • Normal range is 0 to 14. • pOH 0 is [OH−] = 1 M; pOH 14 is [H3O+] = 1 M. • pOH can be negative (very basic) or larger than 14 (very acidic). • pH + pOH = 14.00. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Practice—Calculate the pOH and pH of the Following Strong Acid or Base Solutions. • 0.0020 M KOH • 0.0050 M Ca(OH)2 • 0.25 M HNO3 Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
