Properties of Acids Aqueous solutions of acids have a sour taste. Acids change the color of acid-base indicators. Some acids react with active metals to release hydrogen gas. Acids react with bases to produce salts and water. Some acids conduct electric current.
PROPERTIES OF ACIDS & BASES Acids Produce hydrogen ions (H+) in H2O Taste sour Act as electrolytes in solution Neutralise solutions containing hydroxide ions (OH -) React with several metals releasing H2(g) corrosion React with carbonates releasing CO2(g) Destroy body tissue
How many foods can you think of that are sour? Chances are, almost all of the foods that you associate with being sour, owe their sour taste to an acid: Lemons – citric acid Grapefruit – citric acid Apples – malic acid Sour milk – lactic acid Vinegar – acetic acid Grapes – tartaric acid
Strength of acids Astrong acid is one that ionizes completely in aqueous solutions. Acids that are weak electrolytes are weak acids. The strength of an acid depends on the polarity of the bond between hydrogen and the element to which it is bonded and the ease with which that bond can be broken. Acid strength increases with increasing polarity and decreasing bond energy.
Strong acids are: Strong electrolytes ~ 100% ionisation good conductors Severe burns to body tissue *** Stomach lining protected against HCl by mucus
Marieb, Fig 26.11 STRENGTHS OF ACIDS • Strong Acids (very few) Eg • HCl Hydrochloric Acid ~ Stomach acid • HNO3 Nitric Acid ~ May be used to cauterise warts ~Drugs, explosives, fertilisers, dyes • H2SO4 Sulphuric Acid ~ conc. to treat stomach hypoacidity ~ Fertilisers, dyes, glues
Factors Affecting Acid Strength Binary acids: For bonds of similar size the acid strength is related to electronegativity difference. Bond strength is directly related to the acid strength (bond size). HI and HBr have larger bonds lengths and are more acidic than HF and HCl, even though fluorine is most electronegative.
Oxyacids are acidic substances that contain • oxygen and some other nonmetal, e.g. HNO3 • An increase in the electronegativity of an • atom bound to oxygen increases in polarity • of the bond and makes it more acidic. • More oxygen = more polar.
Weak Acids (most acids in nature) CH3COOH Acetic Acid ~ Vaginal jellies, antimicrobial solution ears, plastics, dyes, insecticides H2CO3 Carbonic Acid ~Bicarbonate buffer system, carbonated drinks H3PO4 Phosphoric Acid ~ Drugs, fertilisers, soaps, detergents, animal feed
Produce or cause an increase in hydroxide ions (OH-) in H2O Bases Taste bitter Turn red litmus blue Act as electrolytes in solution Neutralise solutions containing hydrogen ions (H +) Have a slippery, ‘soapy’ feel Destroy body tissue/ dissolve fatty (lipid) material
How many bases can you think of? • Ammonia • Sodium hydroxide – lye – drain cleaner • Milk of magnesia – Mg(OH)2 – antacid • Aluminum hydroxide – antacid • Baking soda – sodium hydrogen carbonate
4. STRENGTHS OF BASES Strong Bases NaOH Sodium Hydroxide ~ Removes grease – drains, ovens Mg(OH)2 Magnesium hydroxide ~ Antacid ~ Laxative Al(OH)3 Aluminium hydroxide ~ Antacid ~ Absorbs toxins, gases, ~ Causes constipation
Strength of Bases • The strength of a base depends on the extent to which the base dissociates. • Strong bases are strong electrolytes. • Strong bases: calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, etc • Weak bases: ammonia, aniline • Table 15-4 page 461
Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases and Extent of Reaction • The table of relative strengths of acids and conjugate bases can be used to predict if a reaction will produce product. E.g. Which will produce product? HNO3 + CNor HCN +
Strong bases are: • Strong electrolytes • ~ 100% dissociation in water good conductors • Severe damage to skin & eyes (Group 1A elements)
Weak Bases Eg NH3 Ammonia ~ Waste product of protein break down in body. CO3 2- In antacids HCO3 – In antacids, buffers HPO4 2- In buffers
Weak bases are: Weak electrolytes Do not contain OH – but react with H2O small numbers of OH – Reaction with Water : Weak bases NH3(g) + H2O NH4+(aq) + OH –(aq) HCO3 – (aq) + H2OH2CO3 (aq) + OH-(aq)
Acids & Bases STRONG vs WEAK _ completely ionized _ partially ionized _ strong electrolyte _ weak electrolyte _ ionic/very polar bonds _ some covalent bonds Strong Acids:Strong Bases: HClO4LiOH H2SO4NaOH HIKOH HBrCa(OH)2 HClSr(OH)2 HNO3Ba(OH)2
H2O NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) • Dissociation in Water : Strong bases Metal hydroxides ions H2O Mg(OH)2(s) Mg 2+ (aq) + OH- (aq) H2O Al(OH)3(s) Al 3+(aq) + OH-(aq)
5. ACID-BASE NEUTRALISATION • Neutralisation Reaction Acid + Base Salt + Water HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O H+ + OH – H2O Neutralise each other Must be equal concentrations
Antacids – clinical applications (Check for side effects!!) ~ Neutraliseexcess stomach acid ~ Raise stomach pH > 4 • Pepsin inactive ~ Assist with ulcer treatment ~ solubility in H2O but still produce high % of ions
CaCO3 2HCl + CaCO3 CaCl2 + H2O + CO 2 (g) ~Also a Ca 2 + supplement Long term overuse Ca 2 + levels • risk kidney stones (renal calculi)
Eg • Mg(OH) 2 Milk of Magnesia & in Mylanta 2HCl + Mg(OH) 2 MgCl2 + 2H2O • Al(OH) 3 In Mylanta 3HCl + Al(OH) 3 AlCl3 + 3H2O
NaHCO3 Baking Soda Not recommended!! HCl + NaHCO3 NaCl + H2O + CO2 (g) ~ Elderly tend to OD Stomach can ‘explode’
Weak acids are: • Weak electrolytes • Small % ionisation weak conductors • Dissociation in Water : Weak acids Polar covalent molecules Mainly stay as molecules
Dissociation in Water : Strong acids Polar covalent molecules ions Eg. HCl(l) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) HNO3(l) H+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) H2SO4(l) 2H+ (aq) + SO42-(aq) H2O H2O H2O
H2O • Dissociation in water : Weak acids (cont) CH3COOH (l)H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq) H2CO3 (l) H+ (aq) + HCO3-(aq) H2O H2O H3PO4 (l) H+(aq) + H2PO4- (aq)
2. THE pH SCALE Ion Product of Water Pure H2O at 25°C Some molecules ionise H2O H+ + OH- [H+ ] = 1 x 10-7 M = [OH- ]
On the pH scale, values below 7 are acidic, a value of 7 is neutral, and values above 7 are basic.
The pH scale The pH scale ranges from 1x 100 to 1 x 10-14 mol/L or from 1 to 14. pH = - log [H+] 1 2 3 4 5 678 9 10 11 12 13 14 acid neutral base
Stomach juice: pH = 1.0 – 3.0 Human blood: pH = 7.3 – 7.5 Lemon juice: pH = 2.2 – 2.4 Seawater: pH = 7.8 – 8.3 Vinegar: pH = 2.4 – 3.4 Ammonia: pH = 10.5 – 11.5 Carbonated drinks: pH = 2.0 – 4.0 0.1M Na2CO3: pH = 11.7 Orange juice: pH = 3.0 – 4.0 1.0M NaOH: pH = 14.0
pH describes [H+ ] & [OH- ] • Indicates if a fluid is : 0 Acidic [H+ ] = 100[OH- ] =10-14 7 Neutral [H+ ] = 10-7[OH- ] =10-7 14 Basic [H+ ] = 10-14[OH- ] = 100
Using the pH scale Exponential values for [H+ ] & [OH- ] inconvenient in a clinical workplace • Simplify pH scale acid-base concentration p potential or Power H Hydrogen
Acidic solution [H+ ] > [OH- ] Neutral solution [H+ ] = [OH- ] Basic solution [H+ ] < [OH- ]
Water Equilibrium Kw = [H+] [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 Equilibrium constant for water • Water or water solutions in which [H+] = [OH-] = 10-7 M are neutral solutions. • A solution in which [H+] > [OH-] is acidic • A solution in which [H+] < [OH-] is basic
Autoionization of Water • Water can act as both an acid and a baseequilibrium is: H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH. Kw = [OH][H3O+] = 1.00 x 1014M2. Since [OH] = [H3O+][H3O+] = 1 x 107 M (called a neutral solution)
