Bronsted Acid: Substance that donates proton to another substance Bronsted base: Substance that accepts proton from another substance Example: HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl- HCl acts as acid; H2O acts as base In the Reverse Reaction, H3O+ acts as an acid; Cl- acts as a base Note: (H3O+ = hydronium ion = H+ = proton)
A monoprotic acid contains one acidic proton. HCl • A diprotic acid contains two acidic protons. H2SO4 • A triprotic acid contains three acidic protons. H3PO4 • A Brønsted–Lowry acid may be neutral or it may • carry a net positive or negative charge. HCl, H3O+, HSO4−
Conjugate acid: Species formed after base accepts a proton • Conjugate base: Species remaining after an acid donates its proton • Conjugate acid-base pair: an acid and base on opposite sides of the equation that correspond to each other • Examples: HNO3 + H2O H3O+ + NO3- • acid base acid base • Conjugate pairs: HNO3 and NO3- • H2O and H3O+
Example: HS- + H2O H3O+ + S2- Conjugate pairs: HS- and S2- H2O and H3O+ Practice: HClO4 + H2O H3O+ + ClO4- What are the conjugate pairs? HClO4 and ClO4- H2O and H3O+
gain of H+ H2O H Br + Br− H3O+ + acid acid base base loss of H+ • HBr and Br− are a conjugate acid–base pair. • H2O and H3O+ are a conjugate acid–base pair. Note: The net charge must be the same on both sides of the equation.

The Self-Ionization of Water H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH- Pure water: [H3O+]=[OH- = 10-7 M (at 250C) Neutral Solution: Any solution in which the concentrations of H3O+ and OH- ions are equal (10-7 M) Acidic Solution: Solutions having a greater concentration ofH3O+ thanOH- ions ([H3O+] greater than 10-7 M) Example: A solution with [H3O+] = 10-5 M Basic Solution: solution having a greater concentration of OH- thanH3O+ions ([H3O+] less than 10-7 M) Example: A solution with [H3O+] = 10-12 M
The pH Scale • pH is a measure of acidity • Scale ranges from 0-14 • pH = 7 Neutral • pH < 7 Acidic • pH > 7 Basic • pH represents the concentration of H+ ions in solution • Pure water: 1 x 10-7 moles H+ per liter and1 x 10-7 moles OH- per liter
Solutions with equal concentrations of and ions are called Neutral Solutions with more than 1 x 10-7 moles H+ per liter are Acidic Solutions with less than 1 x 10-7 moles H+ per liter are Basic Note: [H+] x [OH-] = 10-14 (always!)
pH Scale Summary • pH scale refers to amount of H+ ions in solution • pH 7 is neutral, less than 7 is acidic, greater than 7 is basic • Lower pH = more acidic = more H+ ions • Higher pH = more basic = less H+ ions
Each pH unit represents a 10-fold change in H+ ion concentration! pH 4 has 10 times more H+ ions than pH 5 pH 9 has 10 times fewer H+ ions than pH 8 Mathematical equation for pH: pH is the negative log of the H3O+ concentration pH = -log [H3O+]
pH = -log [H3O+] Any number can be expressed as 10 raised to some exponent: y = 10x Examples: 100 = 10 2 1000 = 103 0.10 = 10 -1 The log is that exponent! 100 = 10 2; Log of 100 =2 1000 = 103; Log of 1000 = 3 0.10 = 10 –1; Log of 0.10 = -1
We can also take the log of non-whole numbers, but we use our calculators for this. • Example: Find the log of 2.4 x 10-3 • Enter 2.4 x 10-3into calculator • Press the “log” key • 0.0024 “log” = -2.62 • Therefore, 10-2.62 = 2.4 x 10-3
Calculating pH from [H3O+] • pH = -log [H3O+] • Enter [H3O+] into calculator • Press the “log” key • Change the sign • Example: [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-7 M • pH = -log [H3O+] • pH = -log [1 x 10-7] = 7
Example: [H3O+] = 1 x 10-11M • pH = -log [H3O+] • pH = -log [1 x 10-11] = 11 • Example: [H3O+] = 1 x 10-3 M • pH = -log [H3O+] • pH = -log [1 x 10-3] = 3
Example: [H3O+] = 4.2 x 10-5 • pH = -log [H3O+] • Enter [H3O+] into calculator (4.2 x 10-5) • Press the “log” key (-4.3767507) • Change the sign (4.3767507) • pH = 4.3767507 = 4.4
Example: [H3O+] = 8.1 x 10-9 • pH = -log [H3O+] • Enter [H3O+]into calculator (8.1 x 10-9) • Press the “log” key (-8.091515) • Change the sign (8.091515) • pH = 8.091515= 8.1
Reactions Between Acids and Bases Neutralization: reaction between an acid and a base; always produces salt and water Example: Write a balanced equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) H—OH(l) + NaCl(aq)
Example: Write a balanced equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid with magnesium hydroxide. 2 HCl + Mg(OH)2 2 H2O + MgCl 2
Titration Titration:a technique used to determine the concentration of an acid or base in a solution • If we want to know the concentration of an acid • solution, a base of known concentration is • added slowly until the acid is neutralized. • When the acid is neutralized: # of moles of acid = # of moles of base • This is called the end point of the titration.
Acid-Base Titration • Titration is a laboratory procedure used to determine the molarity of an acid. • In a titration, a base such as NaOH is added to a specific volume of an acid. Base (NaOH) Acid solution
A few drops of an indicator is added to the acid in the flask. • The indicator changes color when the base (NaOH) has neutralized the acid.
At the end point, the indicator has a permanent color. • The volume of the base used to reach the end point is measured. • The molarity of the acid is calculated using the neutralization equation for the reaction.
Determining an unknown molarity from titration data requires three operations: mole–mole conversion factor [2] Moles of base Moles of acid M (mol/L) conversion factor M (mol/L) conversion factor [3] [1] Volume of base solution Molarity of acid solution
HOW TO Determine the Molarity of an Acid Solution from Titration Example: What is the molarity of an HCl solution if 22.5 mL of a 0.100 M NaOH solution are needed to titrate a 25.0 mL sample of the acid? volume of base (NaOH) 22.5 mL volume of acid (HCl) 25.0 mL conc. of acid (HCl) ? conc. of base (NaOH) 0.100 M
Determine the number of moles of base used to neutralize the acid. Step [1] M (mol/L) conversion factor Volume of base solution 1 L 1000 mL 0.100 mol NaOH 1 L x x = 22.5 mL NaOH mL–L conversion factor 0.00225 mol NaOH
Determine the number of moles of acid that react from the balanced chemical equation. Step [2] HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2O(l) + NaCl(aq) 1 mol HCl 1 mol NaOH x 0.00225 mol NaOH 0.00225 mol HCl = mole–mole conversion factor
Determine the molarity of the acid from the number of moles and the known volume. Step [3] mol L 1000 mL 1 L 0.00225 mol HCl 25.0 mL solution M = = x mL–L conversion factor = 0.0900 M HCl Answer
Buffers Buffer: a solution whose pH changes very little when acid or base is added. Most buffers are solutions composed of roughly equal amounts of • a weak acid • the salt of its conjugate base The buffer resists change in pH because • added base, −OH, reacts with the weak acid • added acid, H3O+, reacts with the conjugate base
Buffers contain 2 compounds: • Compound with the ability to react with H+ ions • Compound with the ability to react with OH- ions • Example: HCO3- + H+ H2CO3 • If acids (H+) are added, react with HCO3- • H2CO3 + OH- HCO3- + H2O • If OH- ions are added, react with H2CO3 • H2CO3 is unstable: H2CO3 H2O + CO2
More Examples of a Buffer If an acid is added to the following buffer equilibrium, Adding more product… CH3COOH + H2O H3O+ + CH3COO− conjugate base weak acid …drives the reaction to the left. then the excess acid reacts with the conjugate base, so the overall pH does not change much.
If a base is added to the following buffer equilibrium, Adding more reactant… H2O + CH3COO− CH3COOH + −OH conjugate base weak acid …drives the reaction to the right. then the excess base reacts with the weak acid, so the overall pH does not change much.
