There are 3 definitions of acids and bases. Each definition allows more substances to be classified as an acid or base
Arrhenius Definition • Arrhenius Acid- substance that ionizes to produce H+ ions ex- HCl • Arrhenius Base- substance that dissociates to produce OH- ions ex- NaOH • Problem- must be in a water solution
Bronsted-Lowery Definition • Acid- any substance that donates H+ • Base- any substance that accepts H+ • This definition allowed Ammonia (NH3) to be classified as a base • Water solution is NOT necessary
Lewis Definition • Uses electrons and usually deals with organic chemistry
Common Acids and uses • HCl- hydrochloric acid- stomach acid and concrete cleaner • H2SO4- sulfuric acid- dehydrating agent, fertilizers • HNO3- Nitric acid- explosives H3PO4- Phosphoric Acid- soft drinks CH3COOH- Acetic Acid- vinegar
Common Bases • NH3 Ammonia- cleaner • NaOH- sodium hydroxide-lye soap, drain cleaner • Mg(OH)2- Magnesium hydroxide- antacid- MOM • Ca(OH)2- Calcium hydroxide- antacid
Bases usually contain OH- (hydroxide) but carbonates and phosphates can form basic salts • NaOH, Ca(OH)2 • Salts: CaCO3 Na3PO4 • Calcium carbonate is found in chalk, TUMS, sea shells
The term alkaline refers to a base solution • Example- shampoo commercial advertises that the shampoo is a slightly alkaline (slightly basic)
Monoprotic- 1 ionizable H+ • Examples: HCl, HF, HBr,
Triprotic Acid- contains 3 hydrogens • H3PO4 Phosphoric
A Binary Acid is an acid that contains hydrogen and one other element • HBr • HCl • HF
Oxyacid- an acid that contains oxygen • H2SO4 • HNO3 H3PO4
Carboxylic Acid- An organic acid that will always contain the functional group -COOH • Example- Acetic Acid CH3COOH
Strong Acid ionizes completely to produce strong electrolytes • HCl H+ + Cl- • HI and HBr are also strong acids (will discuss diprotic acids later)
Weak Acids ionize incompletely to form weak electrolytes • HF H+ + F- • What property explains why Flourine and hydrogen refuses to break apart completely?
Strong bases- break apart completely • NaOH Na+ + OH- Remember: Groups 1 and 2 except for Be and Mg
Weak bases break apart incompletely • Al(OH)3 Al+3 + OH-
Acid Naming rules • See handout from class- make sure that you can name if given the root acid. • (this will be the last thing we do for this test- it may have to be postponed until the next test)
Neutralization reaction • Acid + Base = salt + water • Sodium hydroxide + Hydrochloric Acid Salt: cation comes from the base and the anion from the acid.
Sulfuric Acid + Sodium hydroxide • Carbonic Acid + Aluminum hydroxide
Salts can react in neutralization rx • Hydrochloric Acid + Magnesium carbonate • Phosphoric acid + Calcium carbonate
Buffers • Buffers are acids or bases that are used to prevent the pH from changing. • Bronsted-Lowery definitions for acids and bases explain buffers
How buffers work • Buffers works by absorbing excess H+ or OH- in a solution. This prevents the pH from changing.
Examples: • Antacids work by absorbing excess stomach acid- • They contain a buffer that prevents the stomach’s pH from changing too drastically to a basic pH
Baking soda(homemade antacid) is not buffered. The pH is changed to much and the stomach releases more stomach acid and the indigestion process continues.
Other common uses of buffers • Fish tanks, blood system, swimming pools
Blood system—real life example • Hyperventilation- person breathes too rapidly • Too much CO2 is lost • pH of the blood increases (too basic)
treatment Breathe into a bag air is rich with CO2 causes an increase in the H+ and the pH decreases back to normal
Heart Failure • Person fails to release CO2 • Too much CO2 in blood system • pH of blood becomes too acidic (low pH)
Treatment • IV of sodium bicarbonate(basic salt) • Increases the pH back to normal
Amphoteric • A substance the can react as an acid or base depending on the chemical it is reacting with. • Examples- Al(OH)3 Water
pH • Water is capable of self ionizing
1.o Liter of water produces 1.0 x 10-7 moles of H3O+ and 1.0 x 10-7 moles of OH- • This allows the Ionization constant for water to be calculated
Calculate the H3O+ and the OH- • 1) .00236 M HCl 2) .0000569 M NaOH • 3) 2.69 x 10-3 M HBr 4) 4.14 x 10-11 M KOH
pH is a way of expressing the hydronium ion concentration • pH scale 7 is neutral • less than 7= acid greater than 7= base
Calculate the pH for the following: • .000569 M HCl 2) .00489 M HBr 3) 5.69 x 10-5 M HCl
Calculate the pOH • 5.69 x 10-6 M NaOH • .00896 M KOH
Determine the 1) hydronium 2) hydroxide • 3) pH 4) pOH • .00553 M HI • 7.23 x 10-4 M LiOH
When given the pH or the pOH the H3O+ and OH- can be calculated: • H3O+ = antilog(-pH) or 10-pH • OH- = antilog (-pOH) or 10-pOH Remember the pH or pOH must be typed in as a negative number
Calculate the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentration for each of the following: • 1) pH = 6.43 • 2) pOH = 3.43 • Identify if the substances are acidic ore basic
Calculate the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentration for each of the following: • 1) pH = 2.56 • 2)pOH = 3.22 • Identify if the substances are acidic ore basic
Sample lab problem • How many grams of HCl in a 500 mL solution would be needed to make a solution that has a pH of 2.55? • Hint- first calculate the molarity of the hydronium ion. • second- calculate the number of grams required to make this Molarity solution.
