  1. 16-6 Polyprotic Acids Phosphoric acid: A triprotic acid. Ka = 7.110-3 H3PO4 + H2O H3O+ + H2PO4- Ka = 6.310-8 H2PO4- + H2O H3O+ + HPO42- Ka = 4.210-13 HPO42- + H2O H3O+ + PO43- General Chemistry: Chapter 16

  2. Phosphoric Acid • Ka1 >> Ka2 • All H3O+ is formed in the first ionization step. • H2PO4- essentially does not ionize further. • Assume [H2PO4-] = [H3O+]. • [HPO42-]  Ka2regardless of solution molarity. General Chemistry: Chapter 16

  4. EXAMPLE 16-9 Calculating Ion Concentrations in a Polyprotic Acid Solution. For a 3.0 M H3PO4 solution, calculate: (a) [H3O+]; (b) [H2PO4-]; (c) [HPO42-] (d) [PO43-] H3PO4 + H2O H2PO4- + H3O+ Initial conc. 3.0 M 0 0 Changes -x M +x M +x M Equilibrium (3.0-x) M x M x M Concentration General Chemistry: Chapter 16

  10. Hydrolysis • Water (hydro) causing cleavage (lysis) of a bond. Na+ + H2O → Na+ + H2O No reaction No reaction Cl- + H2O → Cl- + H2O NH4+ + H2O → NH3 + H3O+ Hydrolysis General Chemistry: Chapter 16

  11. 16-8 Molecular Structure and Acid-Base Behavior • Why is CH3CO2H a stronger acid than CH3CH2OH? • There is a relationship between molecular structure and acid strength. • Bond dissociation energies are measured in the gas phase and not in solution. General Chemistry: Chapter 16

  12. Strengths of Oxoacids • Factors promoting electron withdrawal from the OH bond to the oxygen atom: • High electronegativity (EN) of the central atom. • A large number of terminal O atoms in the molecule. H-O-Cl H-O-Br ENCl = 3.0 ENBr= 2.8 Ka = 2.910-8 Ka = 2.110-9 General Chemistry: Chapter 16
