Some Properties of Acids • Produce H+ (as H3O+) ions in water (the hydronium ion is a hydrogen ion attached to a water molecule) • Taste sour • Corrode metals (react to H2 (g)) • Are electrolytes (conduct electricity) • React with bases to form a salt and water • pH is less than 7 • Turns blue litmus paper to red “Blue to Red A-CID”
Some Properties of Bases • Produce OH- ions in water • Taste bitter, chalky • Are electrolytes (conduct electricity) • Feel soapy, slippery • React with acids to form salts and water • pH greater than 7 • Turns red litmus paper to blue “Basic Blue”
Some Common Acids & Bases- (video) HCl Hydrochloric Acid Stomach acid HNO3 Nitric Acid Jewelry making H2SO4 Sulfuric Acid Paper making; Car batteries H3PO4 Phosphoric Acid Preservative in Coca-Cola NaOH Sodium hydroxide lye KOH Potassium hydroxide liquid soap Ba(OH)2 Barium hydroxide stabilizer for plastics Mg(OH)2 Magnesium hydroxide “MOM” Milk of magnesia Al(OH)3 Aluminum hydroxide Maalox (antacid)
Acid/Base definitions • Definition #1: Arrhenius (traditional) Acids – produce H+ ions (or hydronium ions H3O+) Bases – produce OH- ions (problem: some bases don’t have hydroxide ions!)
Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H+ (H3O+) in water Arrhenius base is a substance that produces OH- in water
Arrhenius Acids and Bases- (video) • Strong acid- ionizes completely in aqueous solution • Strong electrolytes • HCl, HNO3 • Weak acid- releases few hydrogen ions in aqueous solution • HCN and acetic acid (-COOH) • Strong base- ionizes completely in aqueous solution • Strong electrolytes • Weak base- releases few hydroxide ions in aqueous solution
Strong and Weak Acids/Bases The strength of an acid (or base) is determined by the amount of IONIZATION. STRONG=100% IONIZED HNO3, HCl, H2SO4 and HClO4 are among the only strong acids.
Strong and Weak Acids/Bases • Weak acids are much less than 100% ionized in water. One of the best known is acetic acid = CH3COOH
CaO Strong and Weak Acids/Bases • Strong Base:100% dissociated in water. NaOH (aq) ---> Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Other common strong bases include KOH andCa(OH)2. CaO (lime) + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 (slaked lime)
Strong and Weak Acids/Bases • Weak base:less than 100% ionized in water One of the best known weak bases is ammonia NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Acid/Base Definitions- (video) • Definition #2: Brønsted – Lowry Acids – molecule or ion that is a proton donor Bases – molecule or ion that is a proton acceptor A “proton” is really just a hydrogen atom that has lost it’s electron!
A Brønsted-Lowryacidis a proton donor A Brønsted-Lowrybaseis a proton acceptor conjugatebase conjugateacid base acid
ACID-BASE THEORIES The Brønsted definition means NH3 is aBASEin water — and water is itself anACID
Acids & Base Definitions Definition #3 – Lewis Lewis acid - a substance that accepts an electron pair Lewis base - a substance that donates an electron pair
Lewis Acids & Bases Formation ofhydronium ion is also an excellent example. • Electron pair of the new O-H bond originates on the Lewis base.
Acid Rain • NO, NO2, CO2, SO2, and SO3 gases from industrial processes can dissolve in atmospheric water to produce acidic solutions. • Burning of fossil fuels by coal-burning power plants, factories, and automobiles • Very acidic rain is known asacid rain. • Acid rain can erode statues and affect ecosystems. example:
Amphoteric Compounds • Any species that can react as either an acid or a base is described asamphoteric. • example:water • water can act as a base acid1 base2 acid2 base1 • water can act as an acid base1 acid2 acid1 base2
More About Water H2O can function as both an ACID and a BASE. In pure water there can beAUTOIONIZATION Equilibrium constant for water = Kw Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] =1.00 x 10-14at 25 oC
Self-ionization or Autoionization of Water • In the self-ionization of water,two water molecules produce a hydronium ion and a hydroxide ion by transfer of a proton. -
More About Water Autoionization Kw= ionization constant of water Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14 at 25 oC In a neutral solution [H3O+] = [OH-] so Kw = [H3O+]2 = [OH-]2 and so [H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-7 M
Kw: the Constant of Water or How to find the missing # Kw = [H+1][OH-1] = 1E-14 Used to find unknown [H+1] or [OH-1] if the other is known or given If [H+1] = .0003M, find the [OH-1] 1E-14 = [.0003M] [OH-1] [OH-1]=3.33E-11M
The pH scale is a way of expressing the strength of acids and bases. Instead of using very small numbers, we just use pH
Logarithms • Base 10 logarithms (log) • The log of a number is the power to which 10 must be raised to get that number • log 1000 = 3 because 103 = 1000 • log 0.1 = -1 because 10-1 = 0.1 • Use your calculator to solve • log (1.25*10-3) = -2.90 • -log (3.64*10-12) = 11.44
Calculating the pH pH = - log [H+] Example: If [H+] =1E-10pH = - log( 1E-10) pH = - (- 10) pH = 10 Example: If [H+] = 1.8E-5pH = - log 1.8E-5 pH = - (- 4.74) pH = 4.74
Try These! Find the pH of these: • A 0.15 M solution of Hydrochloric acid (answer: .8239) 2) A 3.00 X 10-7 M solution of Nitric acid (answer: 6.5229) STOP
pH calculations – Solving for H+ If the pH of Coke is 3.12, [H+] = ??? Because pH = - log [H+] then - pH = log [H+] Take antilog (10x) of both sides and get 10-pH =[H+] [H+] = 10-3.12 = 7.6 x 10-4 M *** to find antilog on your calculator, look for “Shift” or “2nd function” and then the log button
pH calculations – Solving for H+ • A solution has a pH of 8.5. What is the Molarity of hydrogen ions in the solution? pH = - log [H+] 8.5 = - log [H+] -8.5 = log [H+] Antilog -8.5 = antilog (log [H+]) 10-8.5 = [H+] 3.16E-9 M = [H+]
pOH • Since acids and bases are opposites, pH and pOH are opposites! • pOH does not really exist, but it is useful for changing bases to pH. • pOH looks at the perspective of a base pOH = - log [OH-] Since pH and pOH are on opposite ends, pH + pOH = 14
[OH-] 1.0 x 10-14 [OH-] 10-pOH 1.0 x 10-14 [H+] -Log[OH-] [H+] pOH 10-pH 14 - pOH -Log[H+] 14 - pH pH

Problem 2: What is the [H3O+], [OH-], and pOH of a solution with pH = 3.67? Is this an acid, base, or neutral? • [H3O+]= 10^ -3.67 = 2.14E-4 M • [OH-]= 10^-14 / (2.14E-4) = 4.67E-11 M • pOH= 14 – 3.67 = 10.33 • Acid
pH meter • Tests the voltage of the electrolyte • Voltage changes as hydronium ion concentration changes • Converts the voltage to pH • Very cheap, accurate • Must be calibrated with a buffer solution
pH indicators • Indicators are compounds that will change color in the presence of an acid or base. • Indicators are either weak acids or weak bases • Indicators only work in a specific range of pH • Some dyes are natural, like radish skin or red cabbage
Neutralization ReactionsStrong Acid-Strong Base Neutralization • In aqueous solutions,neutralizationis the reaction of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions to form water molecules. • H3O+(aq) + OH(aq) 2H2O(l) • Asalt is an ionic compound composed of a cation from a base and an anion from an acid.
Titration • Titration is the controlled addition and measurement of the amount of a solution of known concentration required to react completely with a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration. • The point at which the two solutions used in a titration are present in chemically equivalent amounts is the equivalence point. • The point in a titration at which an indicator changes color is called the end point of the indicator.
Titration 1. Add solution from the buret to the flask. 2. Reagent (base) reacts with compound (acid) in solution in the flask. • Indicator shows when exact stoichiometric reaction has occurred. (Acid = Base) This is called the END POINT where NEUTRALIZATION has occurred. Titration Math(short version) M1• V1 = M2 • V2 Moles H3O+ = Moles OH-
BURET Standard Solution = NaOH Solution of Unknown Concentration = HCl
Titration using a pH Meter • Set up the buret and the chemicals the same except no Phenolphthalein is added • Set up the Nova with a pH sensor attached and insert the probe into the Unknown solution. Proceed with the addition of the base solution until the graph looks like the one attached • The volume where the large jump takes place is the End Point, moles Base=moles Acid • Begin calculations
