Chemistry 232 Reaction Equilibria in Nonideal Systems
The Equilibrium Constant • For a nonideal system, the nonstandard Gibbs energy of reaction is written
The Equilibrium Condition • If we apply the equilibrium conditions to the above equation
The Autoionization of Water • Water autoionizes (self-dissociates) to a small extent 2H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l) ⇌ H+(aq) + OH-(aq) • These are both equivalent definitions of the autoionization reaction. • Water is amphoteric.
The Autoionization Equilibrium • From the equilibrium chapter • But we know a(H2O) is 1.00!
The Defination of Kw Kw = a(H+) a(OH-) Ion product constant for water, Kw, is the product of the activities of the H+ and OH- ions in pure water at a temperature of 298.15 K Kw = a(H+) a(OH-) = 1.0x10-14 at 298.2 K
The pH scale • Attributed to Sørenson in 1909 • We should define the pH of the solution in terms of the hydrogen ion activity in solution pH = -log a(H+) • Single ion activities and activity coefficients can’t be measured
Determination of pH • What are we really measuring when we measure the pH? pH = -log a(H+) • a (H+) is the best approximation to the hydrogen ion activity in solution. • How do we measure a(H+)?
For the dissociation of HCl in water HCl (aq) Cl-(aq) + H+(aq) • We measure the mean activity of the acid a(HCl) = a(H+) a(Cl-) a(H+) a(Cl-) = (a(HCl))2
Under the assumption a(H+) = a(Cl-) • We obtain a´(H+) = (a(HCl))1/2 = a(HCl)
Equilibria in Aqueous Solutions of Weak Acids/ Weak Bases • By definition, a weak acid or a weak base does not ionize completely in water ( <<100%). • How would we calculate the pH of a solution of a weak acid or a weak base in water?
Equilibria of Weak Acids in Water: The Ka Value • Define the acid dissociation constant Ka • For a general weak acid reaction HA (aq) ⇌ H+ (aq) + A- (aq)
Equilibria of Weak Acids in Water • For the dissolution of HF(aq) in water. HF (aq) H+ (aq) + F- (aq)
The Nonelectrolyte Activity HF (aq) ⇌ H+ (aq) + F- (aq) • The undissociated HF is a nonelectrolyte a(HF) = (HF) m[HF] m[HF] (HF) 1
Equilibria of Weak Bases in Water • Calculate the percentage dissociation of a weak base in water (and the pH of the solutions) CH3NH2 (aq) + H2O ⇌ CH3NH3+(aq)+ OH- (aq)
The Kb Value • Define the base dissociation constant Kb • For a general weak base reaction with water B (aq) + H2O (aq) ⇌ B+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Calculating the pH of Solutions of Strong Acids • For the dissolution of HCl, HI, or any of the other seven strong acids in water HCl (aq) H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) • The pH of these solutions can be estimated from the molality and the mean activity coefficient of the dissolved acid pH = -log ( (acid) m[H+])
Calculating the pH of Solution of Strong Bases • For the dissolution of NaOH, Ba(OH)2, or any of the other strong bases in water NaOH (aq) Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) pOH = -log ( (base) m[OH-])
Calculating the pH of a Weak Acid Solution • The pH of a weak acid solution is obtained via an iterative procedure. • We begin by making the assumption that the mean activity coefficient of the dissociated acid is 1.00. • We ‘correct’ the value of (H+) by calculating the mean activity coefficient of the dissociated acid. • Repeat the procedure until (H+) converges.
The Definition of a Buffer • Buffer a reasonably concentrated solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base • Buffers resist pH changes when an additional amount of strong acid or strong base is added to the solutions.
note pH = -log a(H+) Define pKa = -log (Ka )
The Buffer Equation • Substituting and rearranging
The Generalized Buffer Equation • The pH of the solution determined by the ratio of the weak acid to the conjugate base. • Henderson-Hasselbalch equation often used for buffer calculations!
Buffer CH3COONa (aq) and CH3COOH (aq)) CH3COOH (aq) ⇄ CH3COO- (aq) + H+ (aq) The Equilibrium Data Table
The pH of the solution will be almost entirely due to the original molalities of acid and base!!
Solubility Equilibria • Examine the following systems AgCl (s) ⇌ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) BaF2 (s) ⇌ Ba2+ (aq) + 2 F- (aq) • Using the principles of chemical equilibrium, we write the equilibrium constant expressions as follows
The Common Ion Effect • What about the solubility of AgCl in solution containing NaCl (aq)? AgCl (s) ⇌ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) NaCl (aq) Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) AgCl (s) ⇌ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) Equilibrium is displaced to the left by LeChatelier’s principle (an example of the common ion effect).
Solubility in the Presence of an Inert Electrolyte • What happens when we try to dissolve a solid like AgCl in solutions of an inert electrolyte (e.g., KNO3 (aq))? • We must now take into account of the effect of the ionic strength on the mean activity coefficient!
The Salting-In Effect AgCl (s) ⇌ Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq). • Designate the solubility of the salt in the absence of the inert electrolyte as so = m(Ag+) = m(Cl-) at equilibrium.
For a dilute solution • Designate s as the solubility of the salt in the presence of varying concentrations of inert electrolyte.
Reaction Equilibria in Nonideal Gaseous Systems • For a nonideal system gaseous, the nonstandard Gibbs energy of reaction is written
The Equilibrium Condition • Calculate the equilibrium composition from the fugacity coefficients from compression factor data
Temperature and Pressure Dependence of Ko • As a function of temperature • As a function of pressure
