The Nature of Acids and Bases: • Acids: Acids taste sour. React with metals and produce H gas. turns blue litmus red pH < 7 • * Bases: Bases taste bitter. They are slippery. turns red litmus blue. pH >7
Arrhenius concept • Acids produce H+ ions. Bases produce OH- ions. • This concept is limited because it applies to only aqueous solution and defines only OH containing bases.
Neutralization: • acid + base _______salt + water.
Acid Dissociation Constant (Ka) • Write Ka expression for strong and weak acids.
Strong acid: HA(g or l) + H2O(l) H2O+(aq) + A-(aq) The extent of dissociation for strong acids. Figure 18.1

Kc >> 1 Weak acids dissociate very slightly into ions in water. Kc << 1 The Acid-Dissociation Constant
Classifying the Relative Strengths of acids and Bases: • Strong acids: • HCl, HBr, HI • Oxo acids. HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4 • Weak acids: • HF • HCN , H2S (H not bonded to O or halogen) • Oxo acids. HClO, HNO2, H3PO4 • Carboxylic acids. CH3COOH
Classifying the Relative Strengths of acids and Bases: • Strong bases: • M2O, MOH M= (group 1A metal) • MO , M(OH)2 M=group 2A metal • Weak bases: (N atom and lone pair of electrons) • NH3 • Amines.
PROBLEM: Classify each of the following compounds as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base. PLAN: Pay attention to the text definitions of acids and bases. Look at O for acids as well as the -COOH group; watch for amine groups and cations in bases. (a)Strong acid - H2SeO4 - the number of O atoms exceeds the number of ionizable protons by 2. (b)Weak acid - (CH3)2CHCOOH is an organic acid having a -COOH group. (c)Strong base - KOH is a Group 1A(1) hydroxide. (d)Weak base - (CH3)2CHNH2 has a lone pair of electrons on the N and is an amine.

Autoionization of water and the pH scale • Water dissociates into its ions.

H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) [H3O+][OH-] Kc = [H2O]2 The Ion-Product Constant for Water Kc[H2O]2 = Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 at 250C A change in [H3O+] causes an inverse change in [OH-]. In an acidic solution, [H3O+] > [OH-] In a basic solution, [H3O+] < [OH-] In a neutral solution, [H3O+] = [OH-]
Divide into Kw [H3O+] > [OH-] [H3O+] = [OH-] [H3O+] < [OH-] The relationship between [H3O+] and [OH-] and the relative acidity of solutions. Figure 18.4 [H3O+] [OH-] ACIDIC SOLUTION BASIC SOLUTION NEUTRAL SOLUTION
SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.2: Calculating [H3O+] and [OH-] in an Aqueous Solution PROBLEM: A research chemist adds a measured amount of HCl gas to pure water at 250C and obtains a solution with [H3O+] = 3.0x10-4M. Calculate [OH-]. Is the solution neutral, acidic, or basic? PLAN: Use the Kw at 250C and the [H3O+] to find the corresponding [OH-]. SOLUTION: Kw = 1.0x10-14 = [H3O+] [OH-] so [OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0x10-14/3.0x10-4 = 3.3x10-11M [H3O+] is > [OH-] and the solution is acidic.
pH scale • pH log[H+] • pH in water ranges from 0 to 14. • Kw = 1.00 1014 = [H+] [OH] • pKw = 14.00 = pH + pOH • As pH rises, pOH falls (sum = 14.00). • pH=7-neutral, pH>7-basic, pH<7-acidic
pH scale • Acidic solns have a higher pOH. • pK=-log K • equation reaches equ, mostly products present, low pK (high K) • Reverse of the above statement is also true. • pH is measure using pH meter, pH paper or acid-base indicator.

Bronsted-Lowry model: • conjugate base: everything that remains of the acid molecule after a proton is lost. • Has one H less and one more minus charge than the acid. • conjugate acid: formed when the proton is transferred to the base. • Has one more H and one less charge than the base. • Do Follow up problem-18.4-Page.779
An acid is a proton donor, any species which donates a H+. A base is a proton acceptor, any species which accepts a H+. Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base Definition An acid-base reaction can now be viewed from the standpoint of the reactants AND the products. An acid reactant will produce a base product and the two will constitute an acid-base conjugate pair.

PROBLEM: Phenylacetic acid (C6H5CH2COOH, simplified here as HPAc) builds up in the blood of persons with phenylketonuria, an inherited disorder that, if untreated, causes mental retardation and death. A study of the acid shows that the pH of 0.12M HPAc is 2.62. What is the Ka of phenylacetic acid? PLAN: Write out the dissociation equation. Use pH and solution concentration to find the Ka. SOLUTION: HPAc(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + PAc-(aq) [H3O+][PAc-] Ka = [HPAc] SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.6: Finding the Ka of a Weak Acid from the pH of Its Solution With a pH of 2.62, the [H3O+]HPAc >> [H3O+]water. Assumptions: [PAc-] ≈ [H3O+]; since HPAc is weak, [HPAc]initial ≈ [HPAc]initial - [HPAc]dissociation

PLAN: Write out the dissociation equation and expression; make whatever assumptions about concentration which are necessary; substitute. Assumptions: For HPr(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Pr-(aq) Ka = [H3O+][Pr-] HPr(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Pr-(aq) [HPr] Initial 0.10 - 0 0 Change -x - +x +x Equilibrium 0.10-x - x x SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.7: Determining Concentrations from Ka and Initial [HA] PROBLEM: Propanoic acid (CH3CH2COOH, which we simplify and HPr) is an organic acid whose salts are used to retard mold growth in foods. What is the [H3O+] of 0.10M HPr (Ka = 1.3x10-5)? x = [HPr]diss = [H3O+]from HPr= [Pr-] SOLUTION: Concentration(M) Since Ka is small, we will assume that x << 0.10
[H3O+][Pr-] (x)(x) 1.3x10-5 = = [HPr] 0.10 SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.7: Determining Concentrations from Ka and Initial [HA] continued = 1.1x10-3 M = [H3O+] Check: [HPr]diss = 1.1x10-3M/0.10 M x 100 = 1.1%
Percent dissociation: • For a weak acid % dissociation increases as the acid becomes more dilute. • For solution of any weak acid, [ H+] decreases as [HA]0 decreases, but % dissociation increases as [HA]0 increases.
Problems P.11.Calculate the % dissociation of acetic acid (Ka= 1.8 x 10-5 ) 1.00 M and 0.100 M solutions. P.12.In a 0.100 M HC3H5O3 aqueous solution, lactic acid is 3.7 % dissociated. Calculate ka for the acid.

Polyprotic Acids • They can furnish more than one proton (H+) to the solution. • Characteristics: 1. Ka values are much smaller than the first value , so only the first dissociation step makes a significant contribution to equilibrium concentration of H+ . • 2. For sulfuric acid, it behaves as a strong acid in the first dissociation step and a weak acid in the second step, where its contribution of H+ ions can be neglected. Use quadratic equation to solve such kind of a problem.
Problems P.13.Calculate the pH of a 5.0 M H3PO4 solution and the equilibrium concentration of the species H3PO4 , H2PO4-, HPO42-, PO43- P.14.Calculate the pH of 1.0 M sulfuric acid solution.
PLAN: Write out expressions for both dissociations and make assumptions. [HAsc-][H3O+] H2Asc(aq) + H2O(l) HAsc-(aq) + H3O+(aq) Ka1 = [H2Asc] [Asc2-][H3O+] HAsc-(aq) + H2O(l) Asc2-(aq) + H3O+(aq) Ka2 = [HAsc-] SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.8: Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations for a Polyprotic Acid PROBLEM: Ascorbic acid (H2C6H6O6; H2Asc for this problem), known as vitamin C, is a diprotic acid (Ka1 = 1.0x10-5 and Ka2 = 5x10-12) found in citrus fruit. Calculate [H2Asc], [HAsc-], [Asc2-], and the pH of 0.050M H2Asc. Ka1 >> Ka2 so the first dissociation produces virtually all of the H3O+. Ka1 is small so [H2Asc]initial ≈ [H2Asc]diss After finding the concentrations of various species for the first dissociation, we can use them as initial concentrations for the second dissociation. SOLUTION: = 1.0x10-5 = 5x10-12
