  1. Acid-Base Titration & pHChapter 15B West Valley High School General Chemistry Mr. Mata

  2. Acid Rain and Stream Water pH • Acid rain occurs when SOx and NOx compounds from air pollution react with water to produce acids. • H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) found in car batteries. • HNO3 (nitric acid) used to clean glass and stone of the most stubborn stains. • The worst reported case of acid rain was in West Virginia • pH measured at pH of 1.5, slightly weaker than stomach acid!

  3. Effects of Acid Rain on structures • The high acidity dissolves the calcium compounds use in bridges, building mortar, pavement. • Weakens the material and puts the structural integrity of the buildings at risk. • Marble and granite used in very old statues is at a greater risk. • Absence of modern compounds used to reduce mineral dissolution. • Thin layers of automotive paint suffer substantial damage from acid rain with only small amount of exposure.

  4. Effects of Acid Rain on Humans • Acidic water vapor in the air we breathe causes inflammation in the lungs and deterioration of lung tissue. • The effect can be fatal for those at risk for respiratory complications. • Acidic particles in the air react to produce smog. • Photochemical smog – a haze that reflects or blocks light like a strong mist on the horizon.

  5. Effects on Forest Ecosystems • The reduced pH of soils: • reduces ability of trees and underbrush to grow. • As pH decreases in aqueous systems: • metals (positive ions) are dissolved more readily and bound up in complex molecules. • As the soils grow more acidic: • valuable minerals are dissolved and bound up. • made unavailable to plants that draw minerals from soils through their roots.

  6. Effects of Acid Rain on Stream water • Acid rain is most devastating to aquatic life. • Small change in our blood pH threatens our lives, • Small changes in stream water pH threatens aquatic life. • Some metal ions will not dissolve into ions above a certain pH. Ex: Aluminum pH is about 5.0. • When pH of a lake drops below this pH, Al lying at the bottom of the lake goes into solution as ions. • Those dissolved ions, as well as other metals acts in two ways to kill aquatic life…

  7. Effects of Acid Rain on Stream water • Elevated levels of Al ions are toxic to many species of aquatic life. • Water entering the gills of lake fish are elevated to a pH of about 7 in the gills. • When the ion-containing acidic water enters the higher-pH gills, the metal ions come out of solution, forming a film on the gills that suffocates the fish.

  8. Reduction of Acid Rain • Acid rain is on the decline globally. • Coal-burning power plants and industrial manufacturing plants must have installed elaborate “scrubbers” to absorbSOxbefore it can be released. • Due to costs of pollutant-reducing equipment, developing nations still release large amounts of SOx pollutants. • Further, basic compounds and acid-base buffers are being added to main lake waters to protect aquatic wildlife.

  9. Titration Sample Problem #1 • Calculate the concentration (molarity) of an HCl solution determined by titration to which 50 mL of the acid is added to a flask. Indicator is added, and 29.6 mL of 0.967 M NaOH are required to reach the end point. MaVa = MbVb -> Ma = MbVb Va Ma = ? M Va = 50 mL Mb = 0.967 M Vb = 29.6 mL Ma = Mb Vb = (0.967 M) (29.6 mL) = 0.57 M Va 50 mL

  10. Titration Sample Problem #2 • How much 3.5 M NaOH is required to neutralize 75 mL of 12 M HCl? MaVa = MbVb -> Vb = MaVa Mb Ma = 12 M Va = 75 mL Mb = 3.5 M Vb = ? mL Vb = Ma Va = (12 M) (75 mL) = 257.1 mL Mb 3.5 M

  11. Titration Sample Problem #3 • An 80 mL sample of KOH was titrated to the endpoint with 39 mL of 6.5 M HCl. What was the molarity of the KOH? MaVa = MbVb -> Mb = MaVa Vb Ma = 6.5 M Va = 39 mL Mb = ? M Vb = 80 mL Mb = Ma Va = (6.5 M) (39 mL) = 3.2 M Vb 80 mL

  12. Titration Sample Problem #4 • How much 2.8 M Ca(OH)2 is necessary to titrate 44 mL of 0.75 M H2SO4 solution to the endpoint? MaVa = MbVb -> Vb = MaVa Mb Ma = 0.75 M Va = 44 mL Mb = 2.8 M Vb = ? mL Vb = Ma Va = (0.75 M) (44 mL) = 11.8 mL Mb 2.8 M

  13. Chapter 15 SUTW Prompt • Describe how titration and indicators are used to find the molarity of unknown solutions. • Complete a 8 -10 sentence paragraph using the SUTW paragraph format. Hilight using green, yellow, and pink. • Due Date: Monday, February 6, 2017 (start of class).
