ARRHENIUS BASE Any compound that contains OH- ions and dissociates to produce OH- ions in aqueous solutions.
KOH (s) K+ (aq) + OH-(aq) ¾ H O 2 ¾ ¾ ® Potassium hydroxide dissociates in water as shown in the following equation:
TYPES OF ACIDS Monoprotic and polyprotic acids differ in relative number of ionizable hydrogen ions. • Monoprotic • HCl • HBr • HI
BRONSTED ACIDS AND BASES A Bronsted acid is a proton (hydrogen ion) donor. A Bronsted base is a proton (hydrogen ion) acceptor.
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH- The hydrogen ion H+ actually exists only as the hydronium ion H3O+
PROPERTIES OF ACIDS • sour taste • turn blue litmus red • an electrolite • react with bases to form water and salt • react with metals and release hydrogen
PROPERTIES OF BASES • bitter taste. • electrolites. • slippery. • change red litmus blue. • react with acids to form water and salt.
Equivalents One equivalent of an acid is equal to the quantity in grams that supplies one mole of protons.
One equivalent of a base is the quantity in grams that accepts one mole of protons, or supplies one mole of OH- ions. Equivalents of solute = Normality Liters of solution
+ - 1 mole H O 1 mole OH 3 and 7 7 1 x 10 liters water 1 x 10 liters water Ionization of Water (Kw) Water ionizes only very slightly. The concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions is:
- + - - 7 7 1 x 10 moles H O 1 x 10 moles OH 3 and liter H O liter H O 2 2 Or:
Using standard notation: [H3O+] = 1x10-7 mol/L [OH-] = 1x10-7 mol/L
The ionization constant for water is as follows: Kw = [H3O+] x [OH-] = (1x10-7)2 = 1x10-14 Example: [H3O+] = .001 M or 1x10-3 M \ [OH-] = 1x10-14 ¸ 1x10-3 = 1x10-11 M
pH The pH of a solution is equal to the negative log of the hydronium concentration. [H3O+] = 1x10-5 M pH = - (-5) = 5 pOH = (14 - 5) = 9
If the pH of a solution is less than 7, it is considered to be acidic. If the pH is greater than 7, the solution is considered basic.
