  1. 17 Acids and Bases A group of chemical properties is related to acidity. According to these properties, a substance can be called an acid or a base. The word acid comes from Latin acere meaning sour. A base is an alkaline, which is derived from Arabic alqali. Presence of acids and bases have been recognized by ancient people. Lavoisier named oxygen as the element from which acids are derived. Liebig (German) proposed that an acid contains hydrogen. Many chemical reactions are called acid-basereactions; they are not necessarily neutralizations. The acid-base concept is interesting, especially the way it evolved. Understand acid or base, important properties of substances. 17 Acid and Base

  2. Answer these questions What are acids? What are bases? What are acid-basereactions?What are neutralization reactions?What are the relationships between acids and bases?What is the role of the solvent in acid or base solutions? How does the acid-baseconcept evolve and why?What are Arrhenius acid, Bronsted-Lowry acid and Lewis acids?What is the relationship between conjugateacids and bases? What does pH mean and how is the pH scale related to acidity? What are salts? Understand important properties of substances 17 Acid and Base

  3. Arrhenius acids and bases Sevante Arrhenius proposed that substances exists as ions in solution in his dissertation, which was awarded a fourth class (D) in 1884. He was unable to find a job in his native Sweden. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1903 for his electrolytic dissociation theory. The fundamental concept: (Text PHH: 17-1) Acid - any substance which delivers hydrogen ion (H+) to the solution. HA  H++ A¯ Base - any substance which delivers hydroxide ion (OH¯) to the solution. BOH  X+ + OH¯ 17 Acid and Base

  4. Problems with Arrhenius theory Like Dalton’s atomic theory, Arrhenius theory have problems today: Acidity did not show in other solvent. What is the solvent role? Some salts produce acidic or basic solutions, not neutral. Why? Which is the base, NH3 or NH4OH? Is OH¯really the only base? How can H+ be stable? Are proton donated? Some chemists want students to learn Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases before learning Arrhenius theory, because the former is more general. Question the established theory. 17 Acid and Base

  5. Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases An acid is a substance from which a proton can be removed.Acids are proton donors. A base is a substance that can remove a proton from an acid.Bases are proton acceptors.Because of strong desire for protons, bases rip protons off acids. Acid-basereactions are competitions for protons.HCl + H2OH3O+ + Cl¯ HNO3 + H2OH3O+ + NO3¯ HC2H3O2 + H2OH3O+ + C2H3O2¯ H2O + NH3NH4+ + OH¯ conjugate acids and bases 17–2 17 Acid and Base

  6. Problems with B-L theory The theory works very nicely in all protic solvent, but fails to explain acid-base behavior in aprotic solvents and non-solvent situations. A more general concept on acid and base was proposed by G.N. Lewis at about the same time Bronsted-Lowry theory was proposed. Question the established theory. 17 Acid and Base

  8. Lewis acids and bases Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875-1946) influential American chemist. His theories include the Lewis dot structure taught in Chem120 and covalent bond theories. Lewis acids are electrophils: H+, Na+, BF3, Lewis bases are nucleophils: NH3, H2O, PH3 Acid base reactions:BF3 + :NH3 F3B:NH3 Lewis at his desk.He generalized an idea. 17 Acid and Base 17–9

  10. Skills regarding strength of acids What are strong acids?What are strong bases? Which is the strongest acid, HF, HCl, HBr, or HI?How about HNO3 and HNO2? H2SO4, H2SO3? How about HClO4, HClO3, HClO2, HClO, and HCl? What is the strongest acid in an aqueous solution?What is leveling effect? Order a given list according to the strength. Interpret reactions as due to strength of acids and bases. Explain strength with related acids and bases. 17 Acid and Base

  11. Molecular structure and acid strength A strong acid loses its proton easily. A strong base holds onto a proton tightly. The more polarized is the H—X bond in an acid, the easier the molecule releases H+ thus a stronger acid. The weaker the H —X bond, the easier the molecule releases H+ thus a stronger acid. The bond strength and the polarity are related to electronegativity and electrostatic interactions – size of the ions. Able to predict acidity from molecular structure. 17–8 17 Acid and Base

  12. Self-ionization of water Water molecules autoionize 2 H2O (l) = H3O+ (aq) + OH¯ (aq) [H3O+] [OH¯]Kc = ———————— [H2O] (= 1000/18 = 55.6) Kw = [H2O] Kc = 1e–14 only at 25oC, it’s T dependent. The ion product, Kw increases as T increases, and its value remains the same in the presence of acid or base. The molecule of life, H2O, and its acidity. 17 Acid and Base 17 – 3

  13. Solutions of strong acids and bases Strong acids and strong basescompletely ionize in their solutions. HCl (aq) + H2O (l)  H3O+ (aq)+ Cl– (aq) KOH (aq)  K+ (aq)+ OH– (aq) In a 0.100 M HCl or HNO3 solution, [H+] = 0.100 Mand [OH–] = 1e–14 / 0.100 = 1e–13 M at 25oC In a 0.100 M NaOH or KOH solution, [OH–] = 0.100 Mand [H+] = 1e–14 / 0.100 = 1e–13 M at 25oC In a 0.010 M Ca(OH)2 solution,[OH–] = 2*0.010 = 0.020 M [H+] = 1e–14 / 0.020 = 5e–13 M at 25oC 17 Acid and Base

  15. Neutralization Reactions The neutralization reaction between strong acids and strong bases has the net ionic reaction H3O+ (aq)+ OH– (aq) = 2 H2O The anions are bystander ions. They do not participate the reaction. These ions are I–, Br–, Cl–, NO3 –, HSO4 –, CClO4 –, Na+, K+, Cs+, Ca2+ etc. When dried, the ions left behind in neutralization reactions form salts. 17 Acid and Base

  16. The pH scale Sorensen introduced the pH scale in 1909 using the symbol pH. The p is from the German word potenz, power of (10). pH = – log [H+]; [H+] = 10 –pHpOH = – log [OH–]; [OH–] = 10 –pOHpK = – log [K]; K = 10 –pK pH = 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 [H+] = 0.79 0.63 0.50 0.40 0.32 0.25 0.20 0.16 0.13 (not linear; need not copy, figure out yourself) For aqueous solution; Kw = [H+] [OH–] - log Kw = pH + pOH = 14 only at 25oC 17 Acid and Base 17–3, p–672

  18. Neutrality In a neutral solution, [H+] = [OH–]. (Different from Fig. 17-5) In an acidic solution, [H+] > [OH–], and a basic solution, [H+] < [OH–]. In a saturated CaO (same as Ca(OH)2) solution, [OH–] = 0.025.Calculate pH, [H+], [Ca2+], and pOH at 25oC. Solution: pOH = – log 0.025 = 1.60 pH = 14.00 – 1.60 = 12.40 only applicable at 25oC [H+] = 10–12.40 = 4.0e–13 M Note that 4.0e-13*0.025 = 1e-14 [Ca2+] = [OH–] / 2= 0.013 M 17 Acid and Base
