Arrhenius Definition • Acid: produces H+ (or H3O+) when dissolved in water HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) H+(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) NOTE: H3O+ = hydronium ion • Base: produces OH- when dissolved in water. NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Bronsted-Lowry Definition Acids: proton (H+) donors HF(aq) H+(aq) + F-(aq) H+(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) Bases: proton acceptors NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O: acts as an acid and a base = AMPHOTERIC
Strength of Acids Strong Acids: ionize (splits up into ions) almost 100% in water mostly ions in solution amount of HCl present is negligeable HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Weak acids: ionize poorly in water not many of these ions present in solution mostly acetic acid (HC2H3O2) HC2H3O2(aq) C2H3O2-(aq) + H+(aq) NOTE: strong acids are strong electrolytes and will conduct electricity better than weak acids.
Strength of Bases Strong Bases: ionize almost 100% in water NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) Weak Bases: ionize poorly in water NH3(l) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) NOTE: strong bases are strong electrolytes
Conjugate Acids and Conjugate Bases • these differ by only one proton • Examples HCl Cl- SO42- HSO4- Lose a proton Acid Conjugate base of HCl Gain a proton Base Conjugateacid of SO42-

pH < 7 acidic pH = 7 neutral pH > 7 basic
pH • a measure of acid strength • By definition all acids contain at least one acidic proton = H+ • HA is a symbol used to represent any general acid HA H+(aq) + A-(aq) H+ + H2O H3O+ • [H+] = [H3O+] • If a lot of H3O+ is produced the solution is very acidic. • pH is directly related to [H3O+].
Self-Ionization of Water H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) This reaction does not occur to any great extent. [H3O+] = 1 x 10-7 mol/L [OH-] = 1 x 10-7 mol/L Because both concentrations are equal water is said to be neutral. Therefore, if [H3O+] = [OH-] neutral [H3O+] > [OH-] acidic [H3O+] < [OH-] basic NOTE: [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14
pH = -log[H3O+] • Expressing hydronium concentrations in scientific notation isn’t very convenient. The pH scale was developed to make the expression of H3O+ concentration more convenient. • [H3O+] is the concentration in mol/L
Example 1: pH of Water The concentration of H3O+ is 1.0 x 10-7. Calculate the pH. pH = -log[H3O+] = -log(1.0 x 10-7) = -(-7) = 7 The pH of water is 7. Therefore pH 7 is neutral.
Example 2 Determine the pH of a 1M solution of HCl. HCl (aq) H+ + Cl- 1M x Therefore [H3O+] = 1 Therefore, pH = -log[H3O+] = -log(1) = 0 Therefore a 1M solution of HCl has pH 0.
Example 3 What is the pH of a 0.01M solution of HCl? HCl (aq) H+ + Cl- [H3O+] = 0.01 M Therefore, pH = -log[H3O+] = -log(0.01) = 2
Example 4 What is the pH of a 1M NaOH solution? pOH = -log[OH-] = -log(1) = 0 pH + pOH = 14 pH = 14 – pOH pH = 14 Therefore a 1M solution of NaOH has pH 14. The pH of a very basic solution.
Example 5 Determine the pH of a 0.01M NaOH solution. pOH = -log[OH-] = -log(0.01) = 2 pH + pOH = 14 pH = 14 – pOH pH = 12 Therefore a 1M solution of NaOH has pH 12. The pH of a basic solution.
Example 6 The pH reading of a solution is 10.33. What is its hydrogen ion concentration? Base ten logarithm represents an exponent log10(100) =2 102 10-pH = [H+] 10-10.33 = [H+] 4.7 10-11mol/L = [H+]
Example 7 Calculate the pH of a 0.00242 M H2SO4 solution . H2SO4 2H+ + SO42- 0.00242 M 0.00484M pH = - log[H+] = -log(0.00484) = -(-2.315) = 2.32
