pH indicators • pH indicators are valuable tool for determining if a substance is an acid or a base. • The indicator will change colors in solution.
Things to use… • pH meter will indicate the numeric value of acid or base based on the pH range • Chemical indicators: phenolphthalein, universal indicator… • Natural indicators: poinsettia, red cabbage juice…
ACIDS Have a sour taste Change the color of many indicators Are corrosive (react with metals) Neutralize bases Conduct an electric current BASES Have a bitter taste Change the color of many indicators Have a slippery feeling Neutralize acids Conduct an electric current Properties of Acids and Bases
Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases: an acid contains hydrogen and ionizes in solutions to produce H+ ions: HCl H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases: a base contains an OH- group and ionizes in solutions to produce OH- ions: NaOH Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Neutralization • Neutralization: the combination of H+ with OH- to form water. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O (l) • Hydrogen ions (H+)in solution form hydronium ions (H3O+)
In Reality… H+ + H2O H3O+ Hydronium Ion (Can be used interchangeably with H+)
Commentary on Arrhenius Theory… One problem with the Arrhenius theory is that it’s not comprehensive enough. Some compounds act like acids and bases that don’t fit the standard definition.
Bronsted-Lowry Theory of Acids & Bases: • An acid is a proton (H+) donor • A base is a proton (H+) acceptor
for example… Proton transfer HCl(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Base Acid
Water is a proton donor, and thus an acid. another example… CONJUGATE BASE ACID NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) BASE CONJUGATE ACID Ammonia is a proton acceptor, and thus a base
Amphoteric Substances A substance that can act as both an acid and a base (depending on what it is reacting with) is termed amphoteric. Water is a prime example.
Conjugate acid-base pairs • Conjugate acid-base pairs differ by one proton (H+) A conjugate acid is the particle formed when a base gains a proton. A conjugate base is the particle that remains when an acid gives off a proton.
Examples: In the following reactions, label the conjugate acid-base pairs: • H3PO4 + NO2- HNO2 + H2PO4- • CN- + HCO3- HCN + CO32- • HCN + SO32- HSO3- + CN- • H2O + HF F- + H3O+ acid base c. acid c. base base acid c. acid c. base acid base c. base c. acid c. base c. acid base acid
Strength of Acids and Bases • A strong acid dissociates completely in sol’n: • HCl H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) • A weak acid dissociates only partly in sol’n: • HNO2 H+(aq) + NO2-(aq) • A strong base dissociates completely in sol’n: • NaOH Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) • A weak base dissociates only partly in sol’n: • NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Acid-Base Reactions • Neutralization reactions: reactions between acids and metal hydroxide bases which produce a salt and water. • H+ ions and OH- ions combine to form water molecules: • H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l)
Buffered Solutions A solution of a weak acid and a common ion is called a buffered solution.
Thus, the solution maintains it’s pH in spite of added acid or base. Pg. 620 fig 19.27
Demo: tap water vs. dH2O • Both waters have Universal indicator in them (= pH indicator (changes color in the presence of ions), which is a type of weak acids) • The water will change pH, and therefore COLOR (which helps us determine if a solution is acidic or basic) with the addition of HCl (acid) and NaOH (base)
Universal Indicator Color ChartPAGE 602 fig 19.13 pH scale 0 7 14 Acid Neutral Base
Why does it take more drops of acid or base to make the tap water change color than it does for the distilled water? • What is distilled water made of? What is tap water made of?
pH and pOH Pg. 596 (in section 19.2)
Ionization of water • Experiments have shown that pure water ionizes very slightly: • 2H2O H3O+ + OH- • Measurements show that: [H3O+] = [OH-]=1 x 10-7 M • Pure water contains equal concentrations of H3O+ + OH-, so it is neutral.
pH • pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. • pH = -log [H3O+] or • pH = -log [H+]
Example: What is the pH of a solution where [H3O+] = 1 x 10-7 M? • pH = -log [H3O+] • pH = -log(1 x 10-7) • pH = 7
Example: What is the pH of a solution where [H3O+] = 1 x 10-5 M? • pH = -log [H3O+] • pH = -log(1 x 10-5) • pH = 5 • When acid is added to water, the [H3O+] increases, and the pH decreases.
Example: What is the pH of a solution where [H3O+] = 1 x 10-10 M? • pH = -log [H3O+] • pH = -log(1 x 10-10) • pH = 10 • When base is added to water, the [H3O+] decreases, and the pH increases.
The pH Scale PAGE 598 Table 19.5 & fig 19.10 *You must use pH to determine if something is acidic, basic or netural (not pOH) 0 7 14 Acid Neutral Base
pOH • pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution. • pOH = -log [OH-]
Example: What is the pOH of a solution where [OH-] = 1 x 10-5 M? • pOH = -log [OH-] • pOH = -log(1 x 10-5) • pOH = 5
How are pH and pOH related? • At every pH, the following relationships hold true: • [H3O+] • [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 M • pH + pOH = 14
Example 1: What is the pH of a solution where [H+] = 3.4 x 10-5 M? • pH = -log [H+] • pH = -log(3.4 x 10-5 M) • pH = 4.5
Example 2: What is the pH of a solution where [H+] = 5.4 x 10-6 M? • pH = -log [H+] • pH = -log(5.4 x 10-6) • pH = 5.3
Example 3: What is the [OH-] and pOH for the solution in example #2? • [H3O+][OH-]= 1 x 10-14 • (5.4 x 10-6)[OH-] = 1 x 10-14 • [OH-] = 1.9 x 10-9 M • pH + pOH = 14 • pOH = 14 – 5.3 = 8.7
Example #4 • Classify each solution as acidic, basic, or neutral ***MUST SOLVE FOR pH and use the pH scale a. [H+] = 6.0 x 10-10 M b. [OH-] = 3.0 x 10-2 M c. [H+] = 2.0 x 10-7 M d. [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M basic basic acidic neutral
Example #5 • Which is the MOST basic from question #4? • B.
Acids and bases: Titrations • The amount of acid or base in a solution is determined by carrying out a neutralization reaction; • an appropriate acid-base indicator (changes color in specific pH range) must be used to show when the neutralization is completed.
Read a buret volume to 2 decimal places This process is called a titration: the addition of a known amount of solution to determine the volume or concentration of another solution. Buret Solution with Indicator
Textbook page 615 • Figure 19.22 a-c • End point: the point at which the indicator changes color
(show lab in demo form…) 3 Steps to do a titration (pg. 615): • Add a measured amount of an acid of unknown concentration to a flask. • Add an appropriate indicator to the flask • Add measured amounts of a base of known concentration using a buret. Continue until the indicator shows that neutralization has occurred. This is called the end point of the titration
4 steps to a titration CALC: • 1) balanced equation • 2) calculate the number of moles of acid or base in known solution • 3) calculate the number of moles in unknown solution used during the titration • 4) determine molarity of unknown solution and the pH
Example: • In a titration, 27.4 mL of 0.0154 M Ba(OH)2 is added to a 20.0 mL sample of HCl solution of unknown concentration. What is the molarity and pH of the acid solution? • Equation: (Step 1) Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCl BaCl2 + 2 H2O (steps)
Step 2 • Calculate the number of moles of known solution (Ba(OH)2)
Calculate moles of known solution: Mol Ba(OH)2 = 4.22 x 10-4 mol Ba(OH)2
Step 3 • Calculate moles of unknown solution • Use stoichiometry and the balanced equation: Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCl BaCl2 + 2 H2O
