Strengths of Acids and Bases The pH of 0.10 M HCl(aq) will be recorded as close to 1 The pH of a 0.10 M solution of CH3COOH(aq) solution is recorded as ~ 3.

[CH3COO- (aq)] [H3O+(aq)] Ka = [CH3COOH(aq)] [OH- (aq)] [NH4+(aq)] Kb = [NH3(aq)] Ka: acidity constant or acid dissociation constant CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + CH3COO- (aq) At 298 K, Ka for CH3COOH(aq)= 1.8 x 10-5 NH3 (aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH- (aq) Kb: basicity constant or base dissociation constant At 298 K, Kb for NH3(aq)= 1.8 x 10-5
The proton donor strength of an acid is measured by the value of Ka; higher Ka, stronger the acid The proton acceptor strength of a base is measured by Kb; higher Kb, stronger the base pKa = - log Ka pKb = - log Kb The larger the pK values, weaker the acid or base
[OH- (aq)] [H3O+(aq)] [NH4+(aq)] [NH3(aq)] Kb = Ka = [NH3(aq)] [NH4+( aq)] Relationship between conjugate acid/base pairs NH3 (aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH- (aq) Ka Kb = [H3O+(aq)] [OH- (aq)] = Kw Or pKa + pKb = pKw NH4+(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + NH3 (aq)

Using tabulated Ka and Kb values determine which species is stronger as an acid or base 1) as acid HF(aq) or HIO(aq) 2)as base C6H5NH2(aq) or (CH3)3N(aq) 3) as acid C6H5NH3+(aq) or (CH3)3NH+(aq)
Molecular Structure and Acid Strength The more polar or weaker the H-A bond, the stronger the acid Effect of bond strength HF < HCl < HBr < HI H - I bond is weakest H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te H-Te bond weakest
For an acid HA, greater the electronegativity of A, stronger the acid electronegativity difference N-H 0.8 F-H 1.8 HF is an acid in water, NH3 is a base
Solutions of Weak Acids/Bases For a strong acid and base; assume that deprotonation/protonation reactions go to completion HCl(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) pH = - log [H3O+ (aq)] Knowing the concentration of HCl, can determine pH For weak acids/bases, set up equilibrium table to determine the H3O+ (aq) / OH- (aq) concentration at equilibrium, knowing the value of Ka/Kb.
[CH3COO- (aq)] [H3O+(aq)] Ka = [CH3COOH(aq)] Calculate the pH and percentage deprotonation of 0.10 M CH3COOH(aq) given that Ka is 1.8 x 10-5.

1.8 x 10-5 = x2/(0.10 - x) Since Ka is so small, assume that x << 0.10 1.8 x 10-5 ≈ x2/(0.10) x = 1.3 x 10-3 M [H3O+(aq)] = 1.3 x 10-3 M pH = 2.89 % deprotonation = 100% x ([CH3COO-(aq)]/[CH3COOH]initial) = 100% x (1.3 x 10-3 M)/(0.10 M) = 1.3 % Note: x < 5% of 0.10 , OK to make this approximation
For a weak base B(aq) + H2O(l) HB+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Use a similar approach to determine pOH knowing Kb, and then determine pH Determine the pH and percentage protonation of a 0.20 M aqueous solution of methylamine, CH3NH2. The Kb for CH3NH2 is 3.6 x 10-4. pH = 11.9 % protonation = 4.2%
pH of Salt Solutions CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l) “neutralization” reaction If a 0.3M solution of CH3COOH(aq) is added to a 0.3M solution of NaOH, pH of resulting solution is not 7.0 but ~ 9.0 Solution of a salt is a solution of an acid (usually the cation) and a base (usually the anion), and the pH depends on their relative strength. CH3COO-(aq) determines the pH of the solution
[NH3(aq)] [H3O+(aq)] Ka = [NH4+ (aq) ] Estimate the pH of 0.15 M NH4Cl(aq). Kb (NH3(aq)) = 1.8 x 10-5 NH4+ (aq) is an acid and Cl- (aq) is neutral; expect pH < 7 NH4+ (aq) + H2O(l) H3O+ (aq) + NH3(aq) NH4+(aq) NH3 (aq) H3O+(aq) Initial 0.15 0 0 Change -x x x Equilibrium 0.15-x x x
