Acids & Bases Arrhenius Definition: • An acid is any substance that increases the H+(aq) concentration in an aqueous solution. HX(aq) H+(aq) + X–(aq) • A base is any substance that increases the OH–(aq) concentration in an aqueous solution. MOH(aq) M+(aq) + OH–(aq)
Acids and Bases Brönsted-Lowry: • An acid is any substance that donates H+(aq) to another species in an aqueous solution. HX(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + X–(aq) • A base is any substance that accepts an H+(aq) in an aqueous solution. H+(aq) + NH3(aq) NH4+(aq) H3O+(aq) = H+(aq)
Strong Acids Examples: Strong acidsare almost completely ionized in water. (strong electrolytes) HX (aq) (X = Cl, Br & I) hydro ___ ic acid HNO3 (aq) nitric acid perchloric acid HClO4 (aq) sulfuric acid H2SO4 (aq)* * Only the 1st H is strong, sulfuric acid dissociates via: H2SO4 (aq) H+ (aq) + HSO4– (aq)

Weak Acids Examples: Weak Acidsare incompletely ionized in water. (weak electrolytes) Weak acids are governed by dynamic equilibrium. HC2H3O2 (aq) acetic acid (vinegar) nitrous acid HNO2 (aq) H2S (aq) hydrosulfuric acid HSO4–(aq) hydrogen sulfate ion Weak acids are always written in their molecular form. See you text and home work for more examples.
Strong Bases Bases:A base is a substance that produces OH– (aq)ions in water by dissociation in water: Strong bases are almost completely ionized in aqueous solution. (Strong electrolytes) Examples: Hydroxides of Group 1 (MOH(aq) where M = Li, Na, K ect…) and Ca, Sr, Ba.* *Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2 & Ba(OH)2 are slightly soluble, but that which dissolves is present as ions only.

Measuring Concentrations of Compounds in a Solution • Most chemical studies require quantitative measurements. • Experiments involving aqueous solutions are measured in volumes of solutions rather than masses of solids, liquids, or gases. • Solution concentration, expressed as molarity, relates the volume of solution in liters to the amount of substance in moles.
That which is dissolves (greater amount) That which is dissolved (lesser amount) Terminology Solution = solute + solvent
Solutions and Concentration Molarity: Moles of solute per liter of solution. moles of solute {units: mol/L} Molarity of X (cX) = L of Solution cNaCl = [NaCl] = 1.00 M Molarity is a conversion factor that transforms units of volume to mole and vise–versa.
Moles, Liters, & Molarity If you know Molarity and volume, you know moles! Molarity Volume = moles L = moles If you know mols and molarity, you know volume! moles = Volume L mol

Preparing Solutions • Weigh out the solid solute and carefully transfer it to the volumetric flask. • Dissolve in a volume of solvent less than the flask volume. • Fill the volumetric flask to the calibration mark with solvent. • Invert the flask many times to ensure homogeneous mixing.
Dilutions: Volume by Volume as solvent is added, the denominator increases in magnitude… since the moles of solute remains constant… When more solvent is added to a solution, the concentration of solute decreases: Why? The magnitude of the concentration must decrease!!!

The pH Scale About one in 10 million water molecules will do this spontaneously 1/10,000,000 = 1 x 10-7 moles/liter is the normal H+ concentration in water = [H+] Shorthand [ ] = concentration If acid is added, [H+] increases. [H+] is a good measure of acidity, but the #s involved are impractically small. Logarithms solve this difficulty. H20 H+ + OH-
