pH and Water Understanding the Properties of the Essential Water Molecule
pH • pH = -(log [H+]) • [H+] = concentration of Hydrogen ions • For [H+] = 10-2, pH = 2 • Each change in pH represents 10x change in [H+] and [OH-] • pH of 7 is neutral; [H+] = [OH-] • pH < 7 is acidic; [H+] > [OH-] • pH > 7 is basic; [H+] < [OH-]
Complete this sentence: Coffee has (A)______ fold (B)______ (C) ______ than water. • (A) • 1 • 10 • 100 • 1000 • 10000 • (B) • Less • More • The same amount • (C) • [H+] • [OH-] Applying Your Knowledge Given: Coffee has a pH value of 5. Pure water has a pH value of 7.
Experiments for Today • pH • Buffers • Specific Heat Experiment • Heat of Vaporization • Surface Tension/Capillary Action
pH Experiment • Handle the small pieces of pH paper with forceps. • Using wooden stick, dot paper with test solution and read when wet. • Test at least three solutions and share information with classmates to get a full set of data.
Carbonation • CO2 occurs in aqueous solutions through • Injection: carbonation in soft drinks and sparkling water • Yeast fermentation: beer and sparkling wines • In water, CO2 forms carbonic acid CO2 + H2 O H2 CO3 H+ + HCO3 -
Buffers • Buffers resist changes in pH • Buffers have substances that can bind to excess H+ and/or OH- • Blood and milk contain proteins that can absorb H+ and OH- ions.
Add NaOH Add HCl H2O H2O H2O Add HCl Add NaOH Milk Milk Milk Buffer Experiment Check pH Add HCl, stir Add NaOH, Stir Check pH Check pH
Specific Heat • Specific heat = amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a solution by 1o C • Experiment compares heating and cooling rates of water and ethyl alcohol
Place both beakers in ice water bath and allow temperatures to equalize (~10 min). • Switch beakers to warm water bath. Monitor and record the temperatures of both solutions every 30 seconds for 5 minutes. • Switch beakers to ice water bath. Monitor and record the temperatures of both solutions every 30 seconds for 5 minutes. Ice water Warm water Ice water
Heat of Vaporization • Heat of vaporization = amount of heat needed to change a liquid into a gas • Experiment compares the sensations that occur with evaporation of water and ethyl alcohol
Heat of Vaporization • Blind experiment • Subject is unaware of treatment • Double-blind experiment • Subject and tester are both unaware of treatment • Requires help of third party
Capillary Action • Capillary Action – movement of water through a tube by adhesion and cohesion • Experiment involves comparisons of water and alcohol moving up glass and plastic tubes of varying diameters • Note the liquid level and degree of curvature of liquid surface inside tube
CLEAN UP! • Rinse and clean all glassware • Place used pH strips in the discard container • Pour ethyl alcohol into to the “USED” container • Exercise care in using your thermometer to avoid breakage
Worksheet • Complete pages 21-25 from lab manual • Be sure your instructor checks your completed worksheet before you leave the lab
