Tannic acid Have you ever… • Drank tea? • Been bitten by an ant? • Eaten a tomato? • What do these three things have in common? ACID! http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/People/Grad_Students/huifangq /food/HuifangCookings/edited/tea.jpg Formic acid http://www.cogsci.indiana.edu/farg/harry/bio/zoo/ant.jpg Ascorbic acid http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0e/Tomato2.jpg/250px-Tomato2.jpg
What are acids? • What defines an acid in a chemical formula? • Write H first in the formula!!! Ex. H2SO3(aq) HC2H3O2 (aq) SULFITE ACETATE SULFUROUS ACID ACETIC ACID
Properties of Acids and Bases AcidsBases • To the skin… Corrosive Corrosive • Taste Sour Bitter • Feels --- Slippery (soap) • Electrolytes Yes Yes • pH <7 >7 • Litmus paper Turns red Turns blue • Reacts With basesWith acid To form salt and water • React w/metals Make H2 No rxn • React w/ (CO3-2) Form CO2,H2O, salt No rxn
Theories of Acids and Bases Limitations: • aqueous solutions • only applies to bases with OH-
Theories of Acids and Bases +1 -1 H H H – N : + H – O : H – N – H + : O : H H H H .. .. From Arrhenius point of view, NH3 is a … TILT! From B-L point of view, NH3 is a … base. From Lewis point of view, NH3 is a … base.
ionization • What happens when 2 water molecules react? auto-ionization - two water molecules react to produce a hydronium (H3O+) and a hydroxide ion (OH-):
Self-ionization of water • All aqueous solutions contain both hydrogen and hydroxide ions due to self-ionization of water. • About 1 molecule of water out of 550 000 000 will dissociate. • This amounts to 1g H+ and 17g OH- in 10 000 000 L of water.
Oh water • Water is special …..I mean Amphoteric! • Amphoteric – a substance that acts as either acid or base, depending on what it reacts with. • Ex. Water (most common)
Acids • Hydrogen ions never actually exist in water solution because... • they are immediately attracted to a polar water molecule forming a hydronium ion. HCl H+ H+ + Cl- H2O H3O+ + H+
Acid Strength Defined by equilibrium position of its dissociation reaction HA H+ + A-
Acid Dissociation Hydronium ion • In general… • HA + H2O A-+ H3O+ Conjugate Base Conjugate Acid Base Acid Conjugate Pair Conjugate Pair Conjugate acid-base pair Two substances related to each other by donating and accepting a single proton
Acid Dissociation acid dissociation constant [A-][H3O+] [HA][H2O] Ka= = (l) [H+][A-] [HA] Ka= HA H+ + A- AcidProtonConjugate base
Dissociation of bases • Produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when it dissolves in water • NaOHNa+ and OH-
14.3 pH Scale pH and pOH pH = -log10[H+] pOH = -log10[OH-] Finding [H+], [OH-] from pH, pOH [H+] = 10-pH [OH-] = 10-pOH Relationship between pH and pOH [H+] [OH-] = 10 -14 pH + pOH = 14
Neutral solutions Q: What is a neutral solution? • Neutral solution: any solution where the [H+] = [OH-] are equal • Basic solution : [H+] < [OH-] • Acidic solution : [H+] > [OH-]
Acid –Base Indicators • What is an acid-base indicator? • A properly selected acid-base indicator can be used to visually "indicate" the approximate pH of a sample. • Acid-Base indicators are dyes that are themselves weak acids and bases. • Acid –Base indicator- substances change color in response to acid or base.
Different indicators • Litmus - a dye that changes color (usually paper). • Phenolphthalein-- a liquid that changes color • Approximate pH range for color change: 8.0-9.8Color of acid form: clearColor of base form: red-violet
indicators • pH paper --a mixture of different indicators that change colors at different pH's. • Bromthymol blue • Approximate pH range for color change: 6.0-7.6Color of acid form: yellowColor of base form: blue
Indicators • Universal indicator: solution that produces different colors for a pH range 1-12
