CHAPTER 11 POLYPROTIC ACIDS AND BASES
POLYPROTIC ACIDS - Have more than one acidic proton Examples phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, amino acids
POLYPROTIC ACIDS Tooth Decay - Bacteria on teeth metabolize sugar into lactic acid CH3CH(OH)CO2H - Tooth enamel contains hydroxyapatite (calcium hydroxyphosphate) Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 - Tooth decay is the result of reaction between lactic acid and hydroxyapatite to produce phosphoric acid Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 + 14H+↔ 10Ca2+ + 6H2PO4- + 2H2O
POLYPROTIC ACIDS Erosion of limestone or marble (calcium carbonate) - Calcite (calcium carbonate) is soluble in acidic solutions (insoluble in neutral or basic solutions) - Calcite dissolves in acid rain causing erosion on buildings CaCO3(s) ↔ Ca2+ + CO32- CO32- + H+↔ HCO3- Acid Rain - SO2, NOx, and CO2 combine with water vapor and sunlight to produce sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and carbonic acid
POLYPROTIC ACIDS Amino Acids - Building blocks of proteins - Have acidic carboxylic acid group and basic amino group - The acidic proton resides on the N of the amino group - Have positive site (amino group) and negative site (acid group) - Called zwitterion - Both groups are protonated at low pH and depotonated at high pH
DIPROTIC SYSTEMS - Contain two acidic protons H2A ↔ HA- + H+ (Ka1) HA- ↔ A2- + H+ (Ka2) - Acid dissociation constants: Ka1 > Ka2 A2- + H2O ↔ HA- + OH- (Kb1) HA- + H2O ↔ H2A + OH- (Kb2) - Base association constants: Kb1 > Kb2
DIPROTIC SYSTEMS H2A ↔ HA- + H+ (Ka1) + HA- + H2O ↔ H2A + OH- (Kb2) = H2O ↔ H+ + OH- Ka1 x Kb2 = Kw Ka2 x Kb1 = Kw
DIPROTIC SYSTEMS Ka1>>>> Ka2 - A solution of a diprotic acid behaves like a solution of a monoprotic acid with Ka = Ka1 Kb1 >>>> Kb2 - The fully basic form of a diprotic acid can be considered as monobasic with Kb = Kb1
DIPROTIC SYSTEMS The Intermediate Form - Is both an acid and a base - Can donate or accept a proton - Called amphiprotic
TRIPROTIC SYSTEMS Ka1 x Kb3 = Kw Ka2 x Kb2 = Kw Ka3 x Kb1 = Kw First Intermediate (H2A-) Second Intermediate (HA2-)
PREDOMINANT SPECIES - From the Henderson-hasselbalch equation - pH changes by 1 if the ratio changes by a factor of 10 pH = pKa + 1 if [A-]/[HA] = 10 pH = pKa - 1 if [A-]/[HA] = 0.10
PREDOMINANT SPECIES Monoprotic Systems [A-] = [HA] when pH = pKa A- is the predominant form when pH > pKa HA is the predominant form when pH < pKa
PREDOMINANT SPECIES Diprotic Systems There are two pKa values [H2A] = [HA-] when pH = pKa1 [HA-] = [A2-] when pH = pKa2 H2A is the predominant form when pH < pKa1 HA- is the predominant form when pKa1 < pH < pKa2 A2- is the predominant form when pH > pKa2
PREDOMINANT SPECIES Triprotic Systems There are three pKa values [H3A] = [H2A-] when pH = pKa1 [H2A-] = [HA2-] when pH = pKa2 [HA2-] = [A3-] when pH = pKa3 H3A is the predominant form when pH < pKa1 H2A- is the predominant form when pKa1 < pH < pKa2 HA2- is the predominant form when pKa2 < pH < pKa3 A3- is the predominant form when pH > pKa3
