Lesson 12 Acids, Bases, and Salts Anything in black letters = write it in your notes (‘knowts’)
12.1 – Definitions Acids Taste sour Dissolve active metals to produce hydrogen gas Turns litmus paper RED Bases Taste bitter Feels slippery on skin (dissolves oils on skin) Turns litmus paper BLUE Have you seen the litmus paper yet?? These are experimental definitions, they do not explain (theory) how an acid is different from a base.
Arrhenius defined an acid and base theoretically. Svante Arrhenius (1857 – 1927)
Dissociate - to split or separate from another
Arrhenius Definition (~1887) ACID – substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions (H+). HCl (aq) H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) BASE – substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH-). NaOH (aq) Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Acid/Base Indicators Litmus Acid – red, Base – blue, Neutral - colorless Phenolphthalein Acid – colorless, Base – pink, Neutral - colorless Cabbage Acid – red/pink, Base – yellow/green, Neutral – blue/purple
12.2 – pH Scale Molarity (M) – unit used to express the concentration of a solution mol solute (mol) Molarity = liters of soln (L) anything in [brackets] means the concentration in molarity [H+] = ‘the hydrogen ion concentration’ [OH-] = ‘the hydroxide ion concentration’
Self-Ionization of Water Water ionizes to produce a small amount of H+ and OH- ions. H2O H+ + OH-
H2O H+ + OH- In pure water at 25̊C [H+] = [OH-] = 1 x 10-7 M
remember…anything in [brackets] represents the concentration in molarity A solution is acidic if [H+] > 1.0 x 10-7 M …or if the pH of the solution is below 7
Just as the mole was used to simplify large numbers of atoms, pH is used to simplify small concentration numbers pH = ‘power of the hydrogen ion’ pH = -log[H+] Instead of writing out numbers like these… pH = 7.00 [H+] = 1 x 10-7 M [H+] = 2.4 x 10-4 M pH = 3.62 [H+] = 7.3 x 10-10 M pH = 9.14 we can write number like these
Instead of saying “This solution has a hydronium ion concentration of 2.4 x 10-4 M”. We can just say “This solution has a pH of 3.62”. Not only is pH an easier number to talk about, pH is understood by most people, whereas molarity is not. The pH scale is used to describe how acidic or basic (alkaline) a substance is.
Examples Pure water has [H+] = 1.00 x 10-7 M The pH of water would be pH = -log[H+] pH = - log [1.00 x 10-7] pH = 7
Examples [H+] = 2.3 x 10-5 M. Calculate the pH. pH = - log [H+] pH = - log [2.3 x 10-5] pH = 4.64
Examples [H+] = 1.0 x 10-5 M. Calculate the pH. pH = - log [H+] pH = - log [1.0 x 10-5] pH = 5.0
Examples pH = 4.2. Calculate [H+] pH = - log [H+] -4.2 = log [H+] 10-4.2 = 10log [H+] 10-4.2 = 6.31 x 10-5 M = [H+]

12.3 – Strengths of Acids and Bases Strong acids & bases completely dissociate (split into ions) in water; Weak acids & bases partly dissociate and only form a small amount of ions.
HCl is a strong acid, HCl (aq) H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) it completely ionizes
CH3COOH is a weak acid, CH3COOH (aq)CH3COO- (aq) + H+ (aq) it forms a small amount of ions
Other strong acids H2SO4 – sulfuric acid, HNO3 – nitric acid Strong bases NaOH – sodium hydroxide KOH – potassium hydroxide LiOH – lithium hydroxide
12.4 – Neutralization Reactions Neutralization Rxn – complete rxn of a strong base with a strong acid A neutralization rxn will produce a salt and water. Acid + Base Salt + H2O HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
Titration – method used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution using a solution whose concentration is known. Standard – solution that has a known concentration. End Point – point where the indicator changes color
EXAMPLE 10.0 mL of 0.5 M HCl solution is added to 20.0 mL of NaOH of unknown concentration. What is the concentration of the NaOH? HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O x M 0.5 M 10.0 mL 20.0 mL Since the reaction of HCl and NaOH is 1:1 and twice the volume of NaOH was used, the NaOH must half as strong as HCl; [0.25 M].
EXAMPLE What volume of 0.10 M KOH is required to neutralize 20.0 mL of 0.20 M H2SO4 solution? H2SO4 + 2KOH K2SO4 + 2H2O 0.20 M 0.10 M 20.0 mL x mL Since KOH requires twice as many moles as H2SO4, you should double your answer.
