Day 2 - Notes Unit: Acids, Bases, and Solutions Calculations with Acids and Bases
After today you will be able to… • Explain the correlation to strength of acids and bases to pH and pOH scale • Calculate pH, pOH, [H+], and [OH-]
0 7 14 pH Scale pH scale:the measure of acidity of a solution neutral acidic basic pH=-log[H+] [H+] = concentration in Molarity
Before we try an example, you will need to locate the “log” button on your calculator.
Example: What is the pH of a solution that has an [H+]=1.5x10-4M? pH=-log[1.5x10-4] pH=3.8
Example: To do this calculation you will need to use the inverse log. Locate the “10x” button. Usually it is the second function of the log button. What is the [H+] in a solution with pH=9.42? 9.42=-log[H+] -9.42=log[H+] 10-9.42=[H+] [H+]=3.80x10-10M
0 7 14 pH Scale pOH scale:the measure of alkalinity (basic-ness) of a solution neutral acidic basic pOH=-log[OH-]
Example: What is the pOH of a solution that has an [OH-]=3.27x10-9M? pOH=-log[3.27x10-9] pOH=8.49
Since the pH and pOH scales are opposite each other: pH + pOH = 14 Example: What is the pH in a solution with a pOH=8.6? pH + 8.6 = 14 pH=5.4
Summary… pH=-log[H+] pOH=-log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14
Ion-Product Constant for Water Water will self-ionize to a certain extent into its individual ions. Because of this, the following relationship can be used: [H+][OH-]=1.0x10-14M Kw
Example: What is the [H+] in a solution with [OH-] = 6.73x10-5M? [H+][6.73x10-5]=1.0x10-14 [H+] = 1.49x10-10M
Sometimes multiple formulas must be used to carry out these calculations:
Example: pH=-log[H+] pOH=-log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14 [H+][OH-]=1.0x10-14 pH=-log[H+] pOH=-log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14 [H+][OH-]=1.0x10-14 What is the pOH in a solution with an [H+] = 2.17x10-5M? (Note: there are multiple ways to do this problem!) [H+][OH-]=1.0x10-14 [2.17x10-5][OH-]=1.0x10-14 [OH-]=4.61x10-10M pOH=-log[OH-] pOH=-log[4.61x10-10] pOH=9.34
Example: pH=-log[H+] pOH=-log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14 [H+][OH-]=1.0x10-14 pH=-log[H+] pOH=-log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14 [H+][OH-]=1.0x10-14 What is the [OH-] in a solution with pH=8.1? (Note: there are multiple ways to do this problem!) pH + pOH = 14 8.1 + pOH = 14 pOH = 5.9 pOH=-log[OH-] 5.9=-log[OH-] [OH-]=1.3x10-6M
