Acid-Base Equilibria Chapter 16
Review of Acids and Bases • An acid is a substance that when dissolved in water increases the concentration of H+ • A base is a substance that when dissolved in water increases the concentration of OH-
Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases • These types of acid base reactions have to do with the transfer of a proton.
The Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases • We can predict the acid or basic properties of conjugate pairs. • A strong acid produces a conjugate base that will be very unwilling to accept a proton. • A weak acid produces a conjugate base that has some tendency to accept a proton. • A substance that contains hydrogen but has negligible acidity will produce a conjugate base that is a very strong base.
The Autoionization of Water • Calculate the concentration of H+ in a solution in which [OH-] is 0.01 M.
The pH scale • Calculate the [H+] in a sample of freshly squeezed apple juice that has a pH of 3.76.
Strong Acids • The seven most common strong acids are:
Strong Bases • The most common strong bases are the hydroxides of the alkali metals.
Weak Acids • Most acidic substances are weak acids and are therefore only partially ionized.
Calculate Ka from pH • A student prepared a 0.10 M solution of formic acid (HCOOH) and measured its pH. The pH at 25oC was found to be 2.38. Calculate Ka for formic acid.
Weak Bases • Many substances behave as weak bases when mixed with water by removing a hydrogen from the water producing OH-.
Acid-Base Properties of Salt Solutions • Solutions made from soluble salts (ionic compounds) can be acidic or basic. • We know these solutions produce anions and cations. • Many of these ions are able to react with water to generate H+(aq) or OH-(aq). These types of reactions are often called hydrolysis.
Anions Reacting with Water • Often times an anion is the conjugate base of an acid: • If this anion is the conjugate base of a strong acid it will have negligible tendency to remove a proton from water.
Cations Reacting with Water • Polyatomic cations whose formulas contain one or more protons are usually the conjugate acids of weak bases.
Combined Effect of Cations and Anions in Soluiton • If a solution contains two different ions that can effect the pH differently.
Summary • An anion that is the conjugate base of a strong acid (example Br-) will not affect the pH of a solution. • An anion that is the conjugate base of a weak acid (example CN-) will cause and increase in pH. • An cation that is the conjugate acid of a weak base (example CH3NH3+) will cause a decrease in pH. • Cations of group 1A metals have no affect on pH • other metals will cause a decrease in pH • when a solution contains both the conjugate base of a weak acid and the conjugate acid of a weak base the ion with the larger equilibrium constant will have the greater influence on pH.
Acid-Base Behavior and Chemical Structure • What makes an acid or a base strong or weak? • It’s chemical structure.
Binary Acids • Binary acids are ones that contain only 2 atoms (one being H). • The strength of binary acids where elements X are in the same group decreases as the size of X increases.
Oxyacids • Oxyacids are ones where OH groups are attached to a central atom. • For oxyacids that have the same number of OH groups and the same number of O atoms, acid strength increases with increasing electronegativity of the central atom. • For oxyacids that have the same central atom, acid strength increases as the number of oxygen atoms attached to that central atom increases.
Lewis Acids and Bases • A Lewis base is a substance that has a free pair of electrons. • A Lewis acid is a substance that can accept that free pair of electrons
Additional Aspects of Aqueous Equilibria Chapter 17
The Common Ion Effect • The common ion effect describes what happens when we add a strong electrolyte to a weak electrolyte solution and both compound share a common ion
Example • What is the pH of a solution made by adding 0.3 mol of acetic acid and 0.3 moles of sodium acetate to enough water to make 1.0 L of solution? (Ka = 1.8 x 10-5)
Buffer Solutions • Buffer solutions are ones that resist drastic pH changes when small amounts of strong acids or bases are added. • These solutions contain significant enough amounts of H+ and OH- that they are able to neutralize any acid or base we might add. • Buffers are usually prepared by mixing a weak acid or base with a salt of that acid or base.
Calculating the pH of a Buffer • What is the pH of a buffer that is 0.12 M lactic acid (HC3H5O3) and 0.1 M sodium lactate (NaC3H5O)? (Ka = 1.4x10-4)
Buffer Capacity and pH Range • Buffer capacity refers to the amount of strong acid or strong base that can be added before the pH begins to change by an appreciable amount. • pH range refers to the range of pH over which the buffer best resists pH change.
Addition of Strong Acids or Bases to Buffers • Adding a strong acid or a strong base cause opposite neutralization reactions to occur in the buffer.
Example • A buffer is made by adding 0.3 mol of acetic acid and 0.3 mol of sodium acetate to enough water to make 1 L of solution. the pH of the buffer is 4.74. (a) Calculate the pH of the solution after 0.02 mol of NaOH are added. (Assume that volume remains constant.)
Titration Calculations • Calculate the pH when the following quantities of 0.1 M NaOH solution have been added to 50.0 mL of 0.1 M HCl • (a) 49.0 mL • (b) 51.0 mL
Weak Acid-Strong Base Titrations • Consider titrating 50.0 mL of 0.1 M acetic acid with 0.1 M NaOH.
Example • Calculate the pH of a solution that is formed when 45.0 mL of 0.1 M NaOH is added to 50.0 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH. (Ka = 1.8 x 10-5)
Solubility Equilibria • We have seen that some ionic compounds are not soluble in water. • This is only partially true.
Factors that Affect Solubility • Common-Ion Effect
Example • Calculate the solubility of CaF2 at 25oC in 0.01M Ca(NO3)2. (Ksp = 3.9 x 10-11).
Solubility and pH • The pH of a solution will affect the solubility of any substance whose anion is basic. • If a compound contains an anion that is the conjugate base of a weak acid its solubility will increase as the solution becomes more acidic.
Formation of Complex Ions • Metal ions can act as Lewis bases in the presence of a Lewis acid.
Precipitation and Separation of Ions • The equilibrium of BaSO4(s) in water can be achieved in either direction:
Selective Precipitation of ions • Ions can be precipitated out of a solution based on the solubilities of their salts.
