Section 6.3—Acidity, pH How does concentration of acid affect the pH of a sports drink?
H +1 +1 H water O O H H H H Acids – Arrhenius Definition • Produce Hydronium ion (H3O+1) in water • Hydronium ion is water + a hydrogen cation By this definition, if an acid is to give a H+1 to water, then all acids will have hydrogen as the cation (first element written).
- H O H H How do Acids produce Hydronium? water acid Hydrogen cation with some anion
- H O H H How do Acids produce Hydronium? +1
- H O H H How do Acids produce Hydronium? +1 Hydronium ion Anion
-1 O H Bases – Arrhenius Definition • Bases produce the hydroxide ion in water Hydroxide Ion
Characteristics of Acids & Bases Acids Bases Produce H3O+1 (hydronium ion) in water Produce OH-1 (hydroxide ion) in water Tastes sour Tastes Bitter React with active metals to form hydrogen gas Feels slippery
+ + + - - - Strong versus Weak Acids How many hydronium ion – anion pairs can you find? 3 How many intact acid molecules can you find? 1 Strong acid Most of the acid molecules have donated the H+1 to water
+ - Strong versus Weak Acids How many hydronium ion – anion pairs can you find? 1 How many intact acid molecules can you find? 3 Weak acid Only a few of the acid molecules have donated the H+1 to water
Concentrated versus Dilute solvent solute Lower concentration Not as many solute (what’s being dissolved) particles Higher concentration More solute (what’s being dissolved) particles
Combinations of Concentration & Strength Concentrated Dilute Strong A lot of acid added & most dissociates Not much acid added, but most of what’s there dissociates A lot of acid added, but most stays together Not much acid added and most of what is there stays together Weak
Acids and Bases as Electrolytes Acids and bases dissociate into ions in water Free-floating ions in water conduct electricity Acids & Bases are electrolytes Strong acids and bases are strong electrolytes Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes
1 7 14 Highly acidic neutral Very basic (not acidic) pH Scale • Is a scale to measure the acidity of a sample Chapter 6 will give more detail about how pH is calculated!
pH is a Logarithmic Scale Logarithm –The number of times a base must be multiplied by itself to reach a given number # of multiples Base # you’re trying to reach
Calculating pH pH scale– Logarithmic scale of the acidity of a solution The pH scale uses base “10” [ ] = concentration in Molarity pH has not units
The “-” in the pH equation Because pH is the negative log of concentration of hydronium, as concentration increases, the pH goes down. The lowest pH is the highest concentration of hydronium
1000x more acidic Level of acidity increases 100x more acidic 10x more acidic What does a “log” scale really mean? Every change of 1 in pH shows a change of 10x in concentration of hydronium pH 4 3 2 1
An example of calculating pH Example: Find the pH if the concentration of [H3O+1] is 0.25 M
An example of calculating pH Example: Find the pH if the concentration of [H3O+1] is 0.25 M pH = 0.60
An example of calculating hydronium Example: Find the [H3O+1] if the pH is 2.7
An example of calculating hydronium Example: Find the [H3O+1] if the pH is 2.7 H3O+1 = 0.0020 M
Auto-ionization of Water • Water will split into ions • 2 H2O H3O+1 + OH-1 • Water will do this to make sure that at 25°C the following is true: • [H3O+1] × [OH-1] = 1 × 10-14 • So if you know the hydronium concentration at 25°C (which can be found from pH), then you can also find the hydroxide concentration
An example of calculating hydroxide Example: Find the [OH-1] if the pH is 10.7
An example of calculating hydroxide Example: Find the [OH-1] if the pH is 10.7 H3O+1 = 2.0 × 10-11 M OH-1 = 0.0005 M
Let’s Practice #1 Example: Find the pH if the concentration of [H3O+1] is 2.5 × 10-5 M
Let’s Practice #1 Example: Find the pH if the concentration of [H3O+1] is 2.5 × 10-5 M pH = 4.6
Let’s Practice #2 Example: Find the [OH-1] if the pH is 3.6
Let’s Practice #2 Example: Find the [OH-1] if the pH is 3.6 H3O+1 = 2.5 × 10-4 M OH-1 = 4.0 ×10-11 M
Let’s Practice #3 Example: Find the [H3O+1] if the pH is 11.2
Let’s Practice #3 Example: Find the [H3O+1] if the pH is 11.2 H3O+1 = 6.3 × 10-12 M
