Explaining Acids and Bases • There have been several attempts to explain the properties of acids and bases. • These explanations define how acids and bases behave. • There are three such definitions. • Arrhenius Theory • Brønsted – Lowry • Lewis Acids & Bases
Arrhenius Theory • Acids – produce H+ ions (or hydronium ions H3O+) as the onlypositive ion. HCl(l) Cl- + H+ • A substance with a carboxyl group(COOH) looks like a base when you look at the chemical formula but it is an acid. (Acetic Acid = HC2H3O2 = CH3COOH) CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H+
Arrhenius Theory • Bases – produce OH- ions (or hydroxide ions). • Some bases DO NOT have hydroxide ions attached. • Amines – organic compounds containing C and N. Amines are bases even though they do not have an hydroxide ion. Instead they react with water to produce the OH-ion. NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH- ~Caution~ • Alcohols – contain an –OH but ARE NOTbases. • Example: CH3OH (hydroxyl group on a carbon chain)
Types of Acids and Bases • Acids • Monoprotic: produce one H+ ion. • HCl • Diprotic: produce two H+ ions. • H2SO4 • Triprotic: produce three H+ ions. • H3PO4 • Bases • Monohydroxy: produce one OH- ion. • NaOH • Dihydroxy: produce two OH- ions. • Ba(OH)2 • Trihydroxy: produce three OH- ions. • Al(OH)3
Strength of Acids and Bases Determined by the amount of Ionization. • Strong Acids • 100% dissociation in water. • Great conductors of electricity. HNO3(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + NO3-(aq) • HI, HCl, HBr, H2SO4, and HClO4 are strong acids. • Weak Acids • Much less than 100% dissociation. • Poor conductors of electricity. CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) CH3COO-(aq)+ H3O+(aq) • Acetic Acid(CH3COOH)
Strength of Acids and Bases Determined by the amount of Ionization. • Strong Bases • 100% dissociation (ionization) in water. • Great conductors of electricity. NaOH(aq) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) • KOH, Ca(OH)2, Group 1 or 2 metals with hydroxide!! • Weak Bases • Much less than 100% dissociation (ionization). • Poor conductors of electricity. NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq)+ OH-(aq) • Ammonia (NH3)
Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases • Acids – Proton Donors • According to the Brønsted-Lowy concept, an acid is the chemical species that donates the proton in a proton transfer reaction. • Bases – Proton Acceptors • According to the Brønsted-Lowy concept, a base is the chemical species that accepts the proton in a proton transfer reaction. A “proton” is really just a hydrogen that has lost its electron…H+
Conjugate Pairs • The Brønsted-Lowry concept defines a species as an acid or a base according to its function in the proton-transfer reaction. • Consider the Reaction of NH3 + H2O • In the forward reaction, NH3 accepts a proton donated by H2O. Thus, NH3 is a base and H2O is an acid.
Conjugate Pairs • In the reverse reaction, NH4+ donates a proton to OH- which accepts it. Thus, NH4+ is acid and OH- is the base.
Conjugate Pairs • The species NH4+ and NH3 are a conjugate acid-base pair. • A conjugate acid-base pair consists of two species in an acid-base reaction, one acid and one base, that differ by the loss or gain of a proton. • NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3 • NH3 is the conjugate base of NH4+ • The species OH- and H2O are a conjugate-acid base pair as well. • OH- is the conjugate base of H2O • H2Ois the conjugate acid of OH-
Conjugate Pairs…Practice Problems • Label the Acid, Base, Conjugate Acid, Conjugate Base in each reaction.
Strength of Acid-Base Conjugate Pairs • Strong Acids (Proton Donors) have weak conjugate bases. • Strong Bases (Proton Acceptors) have weak conjugate acids. • Strong acids and strong bases are always on the same side of an equation. • An acid can donate it H+ to any base EXCEPT it’s conjugate base. • Example: H3PO4 can donate to F-, but not to PO43-
Practice Problems • Write the conjugate base for each. • HCl ______________ • H2CrO4 ___________ • NH4+ _____________ • NH3 ______________ • Write the conjugate acid for each. • F- _________________ • H2PO4- ___________ • NH3 ______________ • HSO4- ____________
Practice Problems • CH3COO- + H30+ CH3COOH + H2O • HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl- • NH2- + H2O NH3 + OH- • H3O + OH- H2O +H2O • CN- + H2O HCN + OH- • HClO4 + CH3COOH ClO4- + CH3COOH2+ • HCN + H2O H3O+ + CN-
Practice Problems • HSO4- + HCl H2SO4 +Cl- • SO42- + HNO3 HSO4- + NO3- • NH4+ + HSO4- NH3 + H2SO4 • HCl + Al(H2O)5(OH)2+ Cl- + Al(H2O)63+ • NH3 + NH3 NH4+ + NH2-
Amphoteric (Amphiprotic) Species • Substances that act as both an acid or a base. • Depends on chemical environment. • Examples: H2O, HSO4-, HS- • In the reaction between NH3 and H2O, water is an acid. • In the reaction between HNO2 and H2O, water is a base. • Water (H2O) is an amphoteric substance.
Lewis Acids and Bases • Lewis Acid – a substance that ACCEPTS an electron(e-) pair. • Lewis Base – a substance that DONATES an electron(e-) pair. Formation of the Hydronium Ion is an excellent example.
Reactions Involving Acids • Steps… • Check the metal on Table J. If it is above H2 proceed. • Write H2 as a product. • Combine the metal with the negative (-) ion to form an ionic salt. (write the metal first, followed by the negative ion.) • Assign charges • Criss Cross, if necessary • Balance the equation.

Neutralization Acid + Base Salt + H2O • Steps… • Form water, H2O. • Get rid of all H+ on the acid, and all OH- on the base. • Write the metal 1st and the negative(-) ion 2nd. • Assign Charges. • CrissCross, if necessary. • Balance the equation.
Neutralization…Examples • CH3COOH + NaOH __________ + __________ • KOH + HCl __________ + __________ • HCl + NaOH __________ + __________ • H2SO4 + NaOH __________ + __________ • HCl + Ba(OH)2 __________ + __________ • HNO3 + LiOH __________ + __________
Spectator Ions • Ions found on both sides of the equation that are not involved in making water. • Not part of the Net Arrhenius Equation. • Spectator Ions for the previous example… • CH3COO-, Na+
Net Arrhenius Equation • Does NOT include spectator ions!! • Net Arrhenius Equation is always… H+ + OH- H2O
The pH Scale • The pH Scale expresses the strength of acids and bases. • Logarithmic Scale – one jump on the scale represents a tenfold change in [H+] • [ ] = concentration (usually Molarity) • pH > 7 is a Base • pH = 7 is Neutral • pH < 7 is an Acid • As pH ↑ [H+] ↓ • The stronger the acid the more H+ ions it produces. • The stronger the base the more OH- ions it produces.
pH Examples • A solution with a pH of 1 has how many times the amount of H+ compared to a solution with a ph of 6? • A solution with a pH of 2 has how many times the amount of H+ compared to a solution with a pH of 5? • If the [H+] increases, the [OH-] decreases by the same amount. • If the pH changes from 8 to 13, the [H+] decreases _______ times and the [OH-] increases _______ times. • If the pH changes from 6 to 2, the [H+] increases _______ times and the [OH-] decreases _______ times.
Calculating the pH of a substance pH = -log [H+] Recall that the [ ] mean concentration (usually Molarity) • Example: If [H+] = 1.0 x 10-10 what is the pH? pH = -log [H+] pH = -log (1.0 x 10-10) pH = 10 • Example: If [H+] = 1.8 x 10-5 what is the pH? pH = -log [H+] pH = -log (1.0 x 10-5) pH = 4.74
Calculating the pH of a substance • Find the pH of these: • A 0.15M solution of HCl. • A 3.00 x 10-7M solution of HNO3
More About water • H2O can function as both an ACID and a BASE. • Amphotericsubstance • In pure water there can be Autoionization. • Equilibrium Constant for water = Kw • Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14at 25oC • In a neutral solution [H3O+] = [OH-] • So… [H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-7
pOH • Strong Acids and Strong Bases are opposites. • pH and pOH are opposites as well. • pOH scale does not really exist, but it is useful for determining the pH of a base. pOH = -log [OH-] • Since pH and pOH are on opposite ends, pH + pOH = 14
[H30+], [OH-], pH and pOH…Problems • The pH of rainwater collected in a certain region of the northeastern United States on a particular day was 4.82; What is the H+ ion concentration of the rainwater? • The OH- ion concentration of a blood sample is 2.5 x10-7 M. What is the pH of the blood?
General Summary of Formulas • pH = -log [H+] • pOH = -log [OH-] • [H+][OH-] = 1.0 x10-14 • [H+] = 10-pH • [OH-] = 10-pH • pH + pOH = 14
