  1. Updates • Midterms marked; solutions are posted • Assignment 03 is in the box • Assignment 04 is up on ACME and is due Mon., Feb. 26 (in class)

  2. Acids and Bases Chapter 16

  3. How do we measure pH? • For less accurate measurements, one can use • Litmus paper • Turns blue above ~pH = 8 • Turns red below ~pH = 5 • An indicator

  4. How do we measure pH? For more accurate measurements, one uses a pH meter, which measures the voltage in the solution.

  5. Strong acids • You will recall that the seven strong acids are HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO3, and HClO4. • These are, by definition, strong electrolytes and exist totally as ions in aqueous solution. • For the monoprotic strong acids, [H3O+] = [acid].

  6. Strong bases • Strong bases are the soluble hydroxides, which are the alkali metal and heavier alkaline earth metal hydroxides (Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+). • Again, these substances dissociate completely in aqueous solution.

  7. Kc = [H3O+] [A−] [HA] HA(aq) + H2O(l) A−(aq) + H3O+(aq) Dissociation constants • For a generalized acid dissociation, the equilibrium expression would be • This equilibrium constant is called the acid-dissociation constant, Ka.

  8. Dissociation constants The greater the value of Ka, the stronger the acid.

  9. HF (aq) H+(aq) + F-(aq) = 7.1 x 10-4 = 7.1 x 10-4 = 7.1 x 10-4 [H+][F-] x2 x2 Ka Ka = Ka = 0.50 - x 0.50 [HF] HF (aq) H+(aq) + F-(aq) What is the pH of a 0.5M HFsolution (at 250C)?

  10. = 7.1 x 10-4 0.006 M 0.019 M x2 x 100% = 12% x 100% = 3.8% 0.05 M 0.50 M Ka 0.05 When can I use the approximation? Ka << 1 0.50 – x 0.50 When x is less than 5% of the value from which it is subtracted. Less than 5% Approximation ok. x = 0.019 What is the pH of a 0.05M HFsolution (at 250C)? x = 0.006 M More than 5% Approximation not ok. Must solve for x exactly using quadratic equation. 16.5

  11. Solving weak acid ionization problems: • Identify the major species that can affect the pH. • In most cases, you can ignore the autoionization of water. • Ignore [OH-] because it is determined by [H+]. • Use ICE to express the equilibrium concentrations in terms of single unknown x. • Write Kain terms of equilibrium concentrations. Solve for x by the approximation method. If approximation is not valid, solve for x exactly. • Calculate concentrations of all species and/or pH of the solution. 16.5

  12. = 5.7 x 10-4 = 5.7 x 10-4 0.0083 M x2 x2 x 100% = 6.8% 0.122 M Ka Ka = 0.122 - x 0.122 HA (aq) H+(aq) + A-(aq) What is the pH of a 0.122M monoprotic acid whose Ka is 5.7 x 10-4? Initial (M) 0.122 0.00 0.00 Change (M) -x +x +x Equilibrium (M) 0.122 - x x x Ka << 1 0.122 – x 0.122 x2 = 6.95 x 10-5 x = 0.0083 M More than 5% Approximation not ok. 16.5

  13. -b ± b2 – 4ac = 5.7 x 10-4 x = 2a x2 Ka = 0.122 - x HA (aq) H+(aq) + A-(aq) Initial (M) 0.122 0.00 0.00 Change (M) -x +x +x Equilibrium (M) 0.122 - x x x x2 + 0.00057x – 6.95 x 10-5 = 0 ax2 + bx + c =0 x = 0.0081 x = - 0.0081 pH = -log[H+] = 2.09 [H+] = x = 0.0081 M 16.5

  15. [H3O+] [COO−] [HCOOH] Ka = Calculating Ka from the pH • The pH of a 0.10 M solution of formic acid, HCOOH, at 25°C is 2.38. Calculate Ka for formic acid at this temperature. • We know that

  16. Calculating Ka from the pH • The pH of a 0.10 M solution of formic acid, HCOOH, at 25°C is 2.38. Calculate Ka for formic acid at this temperature. • To calculate Ka, we need the equilibrium concentrations of all three things. • We can find [H3O+], which is the same as [HCOO−], from the pH.

  17. Calculating Ka from the pH pH = −log [H3O+] 2.38 = −log [H3O+] −2.38 = log [H3O+] 10−2.38 = [H3O+] 4.2  10−3 = [H3O+] = [HCOO−]

  18. Calculating Ka from pH Now we can set up a table…

  19. [4.2  10−3] [4.2  10−3] [0.10] Ka = Calculating Ka from pH = 1.8  10−4

  20. Polyprotic Acids • Have more than one acidic proton. • If the difference between the Ka for the first dissociation and subsequent Ka values is 103 or more, the pH generally depends only on the first dissociation.
