  2. When asked to give conjugate base or acid of a species, remember: • Conjugate acid is simply the parent substance plus one proton (H+) • Conjugate base is simply the parent substance minus one proton (H+)

  3. What is the conjugate base of each acid? • HClO4 • minus one H+ ClO4- • H2S • minus one H+ HS – • PH4+ • minus one H+ PH3 • Why the change in overall Charge? Losing +1 charge = more negative charge (actually a reduction taking place)

  4. What is the conjugate acid of each base? • CN- • plus one H+ HCN • SO42- • plus one H+ HSO4-1 • H2O • plus one H+ H3O+ • Gaining +1causes the charge to become more positive (oxidation happening)

  5. Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases Some acids are better proton donors that others. STRONG acids completely transfer their protons to water, creating completely dissociated ions in solution. Their conjugate bases have a negligible tendency to protonate (gain a proton) in aqueous solution.

  6. Weak Acids only partly dissociate in water.

  7. Inverse Relationship between strength of acid and conjugate bases • The stronger an acid, the weaker its conjugate base. • The stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate acid. • Reactions involving strong species go nearly to completion; little or no reverse reaction. • Keq is very large.

  9. Strong Acids and Bases • Called strong because they are STRONG ELECTROLYTES, existing entirely as ions in aqueous solutions. • Seven most common strong acids (memorize these) • HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO3, HClO4 (monoprotic) and H2SO4 (diprotic)

  11. There are also relatively few strong bases. • Includes soluble hydroxides (there aren’t many) • Group IA (alkali metals) LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH • Heavier members of Group IIA (alkaline earth metals) Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2,, Ba(OH)2 • Completely ionize in water.

  12. Stronger Acid Chemical Change Weaker Base Proton Transfer Weaker acid Stronger Base Chemical Change

  13. Predicting Acid-Base Reactions • The stronger acid will always transfer a proton to the stronger base. • The weaker acid and base are more stable – less reactive. • The stronger acid will always transfer a proton to the stronger base, yielding the weaker acid and base as favored species at equilibrium.

  14. In every acid-base reaction, equilibrium favors transfer of proton to the stronger base.Which direction (forward or reverse) is most likely?? • HCl (g) + H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl-(aq) • A B CA CB • H2O is a stronger base than Cl- (check the table), so H2O acquires the proton from HCl. • HC2H3O2(g) + H2O(l)  H3O+ (aq) + C2H3O2- (aq) • A B CA CB • C2H3O2- is a stronger base than H2O. Therefore, acetate, C2H3O- gains (or abstracts) the proton from H3O+.

  15. Predict whether the equilibrium lies forward or reverse: • HSO4-(aq) + CO32- (aq)  SO42- (aq) + HCO3- (aq) • A B CB CA • Find the relative strengths of the two bases • CO32- is a stronger base than SO4-2 • CO32- will get the proton preferentially to become HCO3-. • Equilibrium will lie to the right (forward) • Another approach: Examine Acid and CA • HSO4- is a stronger acid than HCO3-; gives up a proton while the weaker one keeps its proton. (forward)

  16. Key to remember • The reaction favors • Consumption of the stronger acid and stronger base and • Formation of the weaker acid and weaker base

  17. Predict whether the equilibrium lies predominately to the left or right. • HPO42-(aq) + H2O(l) H2PO4-(aq) + OH-(aq) • B A CA CB • OH- is a stronger base than HPO42- • Reverse • NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) NH3(aq) + H2O (l) • A B CB CA • OH- is a stronger base than NH3 • Forward.

  18. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction between hydrofluoric acid, HF, and the sulfite ion, SO32-, and predict which side will be favored at equilibrium.

  19. HF(aq) + SO32- (aq)  F- (aq) + HSO31- (aq) • A B CB CA • Refer to the acid-base strength table and identify strength. • HF is stronger acid than HSO3- • SO32- is stronger base than F- • Equilibrium favors the side with the weaker acid and base. Forward reaction favored. • “The weak shall inherit the test tube.”
