PROBLEM: Classify each of the following compounds as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base. PLAN: Pay attention to the text definitions of acids and bases. Look at O for acids as well as the -COOH group; watch for amine groups and cations in bases. (a)Strong acid - H2SeO4 - the number of O atoms exceeds the number of ionizable protons by 2. (b)Weak acid - (CH3)2CHCOOH is an organic acid having a -COOH group. (c)Strong base - KOH is a Group 1A(1) hydroxide. (d)Weak base - (CH3)2CHNH2 has a lone pair of electrons on the N and is an amine.

In an acidic solution, [H3O+] > [OH-] In a basic solution, [H3O+] < [OH-] In a neutral solution, [H3O+] = [OH-]
Divide into Kw [H3O+] > [OH-] [H3O+] = [OH-] [H3O+] < [OH-] The relationship between [H3O+] and [OH-] and the relative acidity of solutions. Figure 16.4 [H3O+] [OH-] ACIDIC SOLUTION BASIC SOLUTION NEUTRAL SOLUTION
SAMPLE PROBLEM 16.2: Calculating [H3O+] and [OH-] in an Aqueous Solution PROBLEM: A research chemist adds a measured amount of HCl gas to pure water at 250C and obtains a solution with [H3O+] = 3.0x10-4M. Calculate [OH-]. Is the solution neutral, acidic, or basic? PLAN: Use the Kw at 250C and the [H3O+] to find the corresponding [OH-]. SOLUTION: Kw = 1.0x10-14 = [H3O+] [OH-] so [OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0x10-14/3.0x10-4 = 3.3x10-11M [H3O+] is > [OH-] and the solution is acidic.

PLAN: HNO3 is a strong acid so [H3O+] = [HNO3]. Use Kw to find the [OH-] and then convert to pH and pOH. SAMPLE PROBLEM 16.3: Calculating [H3O+], pH, [OH-], and pOH PROBLEM: In an art restoration project, a conservator prepares copper-plate etching solutions by diluting concentrated HNO3 to 2.0M, 0.30M, and 0.0063M HNO3. Calculate [H3O+], pH, [OH-], and pOH of the three solutions at 250C. SOLUTION: For 2.0M HNO3, [H3O+] = 2.0M and -log [H3O+] = -0.30 = pH [OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0x10-14/2.0 = 5.0x10-15M; pOH = 14.30 For 0.3M HNO3, [H3O+] = 0.30M and -log [H3O+] = 0.52 = pH [OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0x10-14/0.30 = 3.3x10-14M; pOH = 13.48 For 0.0063M HNO3, [H3O+] = 0.0063M and -log [H3O+] = 2.20 = pH [OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0x10-14/6.3x10-3 = 1.6x10-12M; pOH = 11.80

An acid is a proton donor, any species which donates a H+. A base is a proton acceptor, any species which accepts a H+. Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base Definition An acid-base reaction can now be viewed from the standpoint of the reactants AND the products. An acid reactant will produce a base product and the two will constitute an acid-base conjugate pair.

PROBLEM: Predict whether aqueous solutions of the following are acidic, basic, or neutral, and write an equation for the reaction of any ion with water: PLAN: Consider the acid-base nature of the anions and cations. Strong acid-strong base combinations produce a neutral solution; strong acid-weak base, acidic; weak acid-strong base, basic. SAMPLE PROBLEM 16.11: Predicting Relative Acidity of Salt Solutions (a) Potassium perchlorate, KClO4 (b) Sodium benzoate, C6H5COONa (c) Chromium trichloride, CrCl3 (d) Sodium hydrogen sulfate, NaHSO4 SOLUTION: (a) The ions are K+ and ClO4- , both of which come from a strong base(KOH) and a strong acid(HClO4). Therefore the solution will be neutral. (b) Na+ comes from the strong base NaOH while C6H5COO- is the anion of a weak organic acid. The salt solution will be basic. (c) Cr3+ is a small cation with a large + charge, so it’s hydrated form will react with water to produce H3O+. Cl- comes from the strong acid HCl. Acidic solution. (d) Na+ comes from a strong base. HSO4- can react with water to form H3O+. So the salt solution will be acidic.
