Acid-Base Reactions Conjugates do not react!! CHAPTER 17 Part 1
ACIDS-BASE REACTIONS • For any acid-base reaction where only one hydrogen ion is transferred, the equilibrium constant for the reaction can be calculated and is often called Knet. • For the general reaction: • Knet is always Ka(reactant acid) / Ka(product acid) • When Knet >> 1, products are favored. • When Knet << 1, reactants are favored. See 16.5 for manipulating K
ACIDS-BASE REACTIONS • There are four classifications or types of reactions: strong acid with strong base, strong acid with weak base, weak acid with strong base, and weak acid with weak base. • NOTE: For all four reaction types the limiting reactant problem is carried out first. Once this is accomplished, one must determine which reactants and products remain and write an appropriate equilibrium equation for the remaining mixture.
STRONG ACID WITH STRONG BASE The net reaction is: The product, water, is neutral.
STRONG ACID WITH WEAK BASE The net reaction is: The product is HB+ and the solution is acidic.
WEAK ACID WITH STRONG BASE The net reaction is: The product is A- and the solution is basic.
WEAK ACID WITH WEAK BASE The net reaction is: Notice that Knet may even be less than one. This will occur when Ka HB+ > Ka HA.

Preparing a Buffer You want to buffer a solution at pH = 4.30. This means [H3O+] = 10-pH = 5.0 x 10-5 M It is best to choose an acid such that [H3O+] is about equal to Ka (or pH pKa). You get the exact [H3O+] by adjusting the ratio of acid to conjugate base.
