Acid & Bases • CONTENTS • The Arrhenius Theory of acids and bases • Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases • LEWIS THEORY – this is A2 • Strong acids and bases • Weak acids • Weak bases • Hydrogen ion concentration and pH
Historic acid–base theories • 1776 Lavoisier - he defined acids in terms of their containing oxygen • 1810 Sir Humphry Davy - proved the lack of oxygen - • "acidity does not depend upon any particular elementary substance, but upon peculiar arrangement of various substances". • Berzelius - stated “acids are oxides of nonmetals while bases are oxides of metals”. • 1838 Justus von Liebig – “an acid is a hydrogen-containing substance in which the hydrogen could be replaced by a metal” • 1884 Svante Arrhenius with Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald established the presence of ions in aqueous solution • Arrhenius - Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903 for "recognition of the extraordinary services... rendered to the advancement of chemistry by his electrolytic theory of dissociation".
THEORIES OF ACIDS AND BASES • The Arrhenius Theory of acids and bases • Acids are substances which produce hydrogen ions in solution. • Bases are substances which produce hydroxide ions in solution. • Neutralisation happens because hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions react to produce water. • hydrogen ions + hydroxide ions Water H + (aq) + OH¯ (aq) H2O(l)
NH4Cl(s) (g) g Limitations of the theory Hydrogen Chloride / Hydrochloric acid is neutralised by both sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia and a solution of ammonia. Word/symbol equations sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid ammonia + hydrochloric acid Ammonia dissolves in water HCl(aq) + NH4OH(aq)NH4Cl(aq) + H2O(l)
The Bronsted-Lowry Theory of acids and bases • An acid is a proton (hydrogen ion) donor. • A base is a proton (hydrogen ion) acceptor. • Hydroxide ions are bases - they accept hydrogen ions from acids and form water. • An acid produces hydrogen ions in solution - it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them. • hydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water to produce hydrochloric acid, • Hydroxonium ions, H3O+, are produced.
Hydroxonium ions, H3O+, It is important to realise that hydrogen ions in solution, H+(aq) are hydroxonium ions.
The hydrogen chloride / ammonia problem If it is in solution, the ammonia accepts a proton from a hydroxonium ion If the reaction is happening in the gas state, the ammonia accepts a proton directly from the hydrogen chloride: Either way, the ammonia acts as a base by accepting a hydrogen ion from an acid.

Hydrogen ion concentration [H+(aq)] Introduction hydrogen ion concentration determines the acidity of a solution hydroxide ion concentration determines the alkalinity for strong acids and bases the concentration of ions is very much larger than their weaker counterparts which only partially dissociate. Strong / Weak concentrated / dilute –depends on ionisation – depends on the number of particles in a set volume

REACTIONS OF HYDROCHLORIC ACID Is a typical acid in dilute aqueous solution HCl ——> H+(aq) + Cl¯(aq) Hydrogen chloride is a colourless covalent gas; it is a poor conductor of electricity because there are no free electrons or ions present. It has no action on dry litmus paper because there are no aqueous hydrogen ions present.

It has no action on dry litmus paper because there are no aqueous hydrogen ions present. If the gas is passed into water, the hydrogen chloride molecules dissociate into ions. The solution now conducts electricity showing ions are present. For each hydrogen chloride molecule that dissociates one hydrogen ion and one chloride ion are produced. The solution turns litmus paper red because of the H+(aq) ions.
