Chemistry: The Molecular Science
Moore, Stanitski and Jurs Chapter 16: Acids and Bases
2
Arrhenius Definition Arrhenius: any substance which ionizes in water to produce⦠protons (H+) is an acid. hydroxide ions (OH-) is a base. Better version of the Arrhenius definition: Acid: hydronium ions (H3O+) in water are acidic. Base: hydroxide ions (OH-) in water are basic.
3
Acid-Base Reactions A strong acid is an acid that ionizes completely in water (product favored). There are six strong acids: HCl - hydrochloric acid HBr ā hydrobromic acid HI ā hydroiodic acid H2SO4 - sulfuric acid HNO3 ā nitric acid HClO4 ā perchloric acid
4
Acid-Base Reactions Strong Acids and Bases
A strong base is a base that is present entirely as ions (product favored). The hydroxides of Group IA, IIA (except Be and Mg hydroxides) are strong bases. So, why is NH3 (aq) basic?
5
BrĆønsted-Lowry Concept
An alternative definition: acid = proton (H+) donor base = proton (H+) acceptor Works for non-aqueous solutions and explains why NH3 is basic: NH3(g) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) indirectly produced Base: H+ acceptor Acid: H+ donor
6
BrĆønsted-Lowry Concept
Strong acids and bases almost completely ionize (product favored). 100% HNO3(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + NO3-(aq) Weak acids and bases do not fully ionize (reactant favored). 3% HF(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + F-(aq) Acid: H+ donor Base: H+ acceptor Acid: H+ donor Base: H+ acceptor Note: the products are a new acid and base pair. LeChatelier ā a more dilute solution (more water), will ionize more.
7
Waterās Role as Acid or Base
Water acts as a base when an acid dissolves in water: HBr(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Br-(aq) acid base acid base But water acts as an acid for some bases: H2O(l) + NH3(aq) NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) acid base acid base Water is amphiprotic - it can donate or accept a proton (act as acid or base).

11
Practice: Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs

12
Relative Strength of Acids & Bases
Strong acids are better H+ donors than weak acids. Strong bases are better H+ acceptors than weak bases. Strong acids have weak conjugate bases. Weak acids have strong conjugate bases. Strong acid + H2O H3O+ + weak conjugate base Fully ionized, reverse reaction essentially does not occur. The conjugate base is weak. Weak acid + H2O H3O+ + strong conjugate base Weakly ionized, reverse reaction readily occurs. The conjugate base is strong.

Autoionization of Water
Pure water conducts a very small electrical current. Autoionization occurs: H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) Base Acid Acid Base Kw = [ H3O+ ] [ OH- ] Kw = 1.0 x (at 25°C) Kw = ionization constant for water Heavily reactant favored.
18
Ionization Constant for Water
Kw is a special equilibrium constant for the autoionization of water. It is T-dependent. T = 25°C (77°F) is usually used as the standard T. T (°C) Kw x 10-14 x 10-14 x 10-14 x 10-14 x 10-14 x 10-14 Kw increases with temperature. Is it endo or exothermic?
19
Autoionization of Water
Hydronium and hydroxide ions are produced in equal numbers in pure water, 2H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) Kw = [ H3O+ ] [ OH- ] Thus, the concentrations of H3O+ and OH- in pure water are both 1.0 x 10-7 M. 2
20
Autoionization of Water
H3O+ and OH- are present in all aqueous solutions. Neutral solution. Pure water 25°C): [H3O+] = 10-7 M = [OH-] Acidic solution If acid is added to water: [ H3O+ ] is increased, disturbing the equilibrium: 2 H2O H3O+ + OH- LeChatelier: equilibrium shifts to the left. [OH-] Equilibrium is reestablished: [ H3O+ ] > 10-7 M > [OH-] Product of ion concentrations is the same [ H3O+ ][OH-] = Kw = 1.0 x 10-14
21
Autoionization of Water
Basic solution. If base is added to water. LeChatelier: equilibrium shifts to the left, [H3O+] New equilibrium: [H3O+] < 10-7 M < [OH-] [ H3O+ ][OH-] = Kw = 1.0 x at 25°C 2 H2O H3O+ + OH- Example Calculate the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentrations at 25°C in a 6.0 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 NaOH (aq) is strong (100% ionized) so [OH-] = 6.0 M. [H3O+](6.0) = 1.0 x 10-14 [H3O+] = 1.7 x M [ OH- ] = 6.0 M
22
Autoionization of Water
The relative concentrations of H3O+ and OH- indicate acidic, neutral or basic character of a solution: In a neutral solution, the concentrations of H3O+ (aq) and OH-(aq) are equal. In an acidic solution, the concentration of H3O+ (aq) is greater than that of OH-(aq). In a basic solution, the concentration of OH-(aq) is greater than that of H3O+ (aq). 2
23
Acid or Base At 25 oC, we observe the following conditions.
In an acidic solution, [H3O+ ] > 1.0 x 10-7 M. In a neutral solution, [H3O+ ] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M. In a basic solution, [H3O+ ] < 1.0 x 10-7 M. 2
24
The pH scale pH = ālog10[H3O+]
Can describe acidity in terms of [H3O+], but a logarithmic scale is more convenient: pH = ālog10[H3O+] At 25°C a neutral aqueous solution has: pH = ālog10[1.0 x 10-7] = ā(ā7.00) = 7.00 acidic solutions: [H3O+]>1.0 x 10-7, pH < 7.00 basic solutions: [H3O+]<1.0 x 10-7, pH > 7.00
25
The pH of a Solution For a solution in which the hydronium-ion concentration is 1.0 x 10-3, the pH is: Note that the number of decimal places in the pH equals the number of significant figures in the hydronium-ion concentration. 2
26
Example ā pH given [H3O+] ?
A sample of orange juice has a hydronium-ion concentration of 2.9 x 10-4 M. What is the pH? 2
27
Example - [H3O+] given pH?
The pH of human arterial blood is 7.40 (acidic or basic?). What is the hydronium-ion concentration? (Guesssā¦.> or < 1.0x10-7M?) 10logx = x 2
28
The pOH scale pOH = ālog10[OH-] A neutral solution (25°C) has:
pOH = ālog10[1.0 x 10-7] = ā(ā7.00) = 7.00 Since Kw = [ H3O+ ][ OH- ] = 1.0 x 10-14 ālog(KW)= ālog[H3O+] + (ālog[OH-]) = ālog(1.0 x 10-14) pKw = pH + pOH = 14.00
29
we first calculate the pOH:
Example An ammonia solution has a hydroxide-ion concentration of 1.9 x 10-3 M. What is the pH of the solution? we first calculate the pOH: Then the pH is: 2
30
pH Calculations Given two aqueous solutions (25°C).
Solution A: [OH-] = 4.3 x 10-4 M, Solution B: [H3O+] = 7.5 x 10-9 M. Which has the higher pH? Which is more acidic? Solution A: pOH = ālog[ OH-] = 3.37 pH + pOH = pKw = pH = Solution B: pH = ālog[ H3O+] = 8.12 A has higher pH, B is more acidic
31
Practice - WSs [H+] Kw =1x10-14 = [H+] [OH-] [OH-] pH= -log [H+]
pOH =-log [OH-] [OH-] = 10-pOH pH = pH + pOH pOH
32

33
Measuring pH H3O+ concentrations can be measured with an:
Electronic pH meter: fast and accurate preferred method. Acid-base Indicator: substance that changes color within a narrow pH range may have multiple color change (e.g. bromthymol blue) one ācolorā may be colorless (e.g. phenolphthalein) cheap and convenient.
34
Ionization Constants of Acids and Bases
When an acid ionizes in water: HA(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + A-(aq) The acid ionization constant is used to report the degree of ionization: [A-][H3O+] [HA] Ka = (Water omitted, as usual) Strong acids have large Ka values Weak acid have small Ka values
35
Base Ionization Constants
For a base in water: B(aq) + H2O(l) BH+(aq) + OH-(aq) The base ionization constant, Kb, is: Kb = [BH+][OH-] [B] If the base is an anion: A-(aq) + H2O(l) HA(aq) + OH-(aq) Kb = [HA][OH-] [A-]
36
Ionization Constants Larger Ka = stronger acid
Larger Kb = stronger base
37
Ionization Constants Larger Ka = stronger acid
Larger Kb = stronger base
38
Acid and Base Strength Small value of Ka indicates that the numerator is smaller than the denominator. Equilibrium favors reactants or only a small amount dissociates ā a weak acid. Small value of Kb indicates that the numerator is smaller than the denominator. Equilibrium favors reactants or only a small amount dissociates ā a weak base.

41
Ka Values for Polyprotic Acids
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is weak. It has three acidic protons: H3PO4(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + H2PO4- (aq) Ka = 7.5 x 10-3 H+ is harder to remove Ka decreasing H2PO4-(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + HPO42- (aq) Ka = 6.2 x 10-8 HPO42-(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + PO43- (aq) Ka = 3.6 x 10-13

43
Molecular Structure and Acid Strength
What makes a strong acid? A weak HāA bond, so H+ can be easily removed! Consider the binary acids HF, HCl, HBr, HI. HX Bond Energy (kJ) Ka HF weak acid x 10-4 HCl x 107 HBr x 108 HI x 1010 strong acids smaller bond energy larger acid strength H-A, bond energy decreases down a group. Acid strength increases.
44
Molecular Structure and Acid Strength
What makes a strong acid? A weak HāA bond, so H+ can be easily removed! Consider the binary acids SiH4, PH3, H2S, HCl. The higher electronegativity, across a period, makes the bond more polar and hence more ionic ā a stronger acid.
45

Using the pH information: - log [H3O+] = 2.43 [H3O+] = = M These hydronium ions are produced by: HA(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + A-(aq) and from the autoionization of water: H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)

74
The Common Ion Effect The common-ion effect is the shift in an ionic equilibrium caused by the addition of a solute that provides an ion common to the equilibrium. Consider a solution of acetic acid (HC2H3O2), in which you have the following equilibrium. 2
75
The Common Ion Effect If we were to add NaC2H3O2 to this solution, it would provide C2H3O2- ions which are present on the right side of the equilibrium. The equilibrium composition would shift to the left (LeChatelier Principle) and the degree of ionization of the acetic acid would decrease. This repression of the ionization of acetic acid by sodium acetate is an example of the common-ion effect. 2
76
Example What is the pH of a solution that is 0.025M in formic acid? The Ka for formic acid is 1.7 x What is the pH of the same solution after M in sodium formate, NaCH2O is added? Initial Change Equilibrium 0.018 -x x x 0.025-x x x From NaCH2O 2
