1 Measuring pH (and pOH)

2 Measuring pH pH can be measured precisely using a pH meter or you could use an indicator

3 Bromothymol blue changes from yellow to blue as the pH rises from 6.00 to 7.60 (mid range = green)

4 Example Separate samples of a solution of unknown pH cause the following acid base indicator colours Orange IV = yellow Bromothymol blue = blue Phenolphthalein = colourless What is the solution pH? Hint: use the indicator chart at the back of your workbook!

6 Modified Arrhenius Acid = a substance that reacts with water to produce H3O+ Base = a substance that reacts to produce OH-

7 Example NH3(aq) + H2O  Test for acid  Test for base  More familiar ion?! BASE!

8 Example 2 CO2 + H2O  Test for acid  Test for base  More familiar ion = ACID!!

9 Example 3 HSO 4 -

10 Limitations In some cases, the modified theory cannot predict acid or base because both ions are familiar (i.e. HSO4-)

11 Neutralization Acids react with bases to form water and a salt (a neutral ionic compound) i.e. NaOH + HCl  H2O + NaCl

12 Show the reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid

13 Ionic Neutralization H3O+ + OH-  2H2O

14 Strengths of Acids and Bases Defined in terms of how completely an acid ionizes in water to produce H+

15 Strong Acids weak bonds between H+ and the rest of the acid easily gives up its H+ completely

16 HClO 4 HI HBr HCl H 2 SO 4 HNO 3 H 3 O +

17 Weak Acids Stronger bond with its H+ only partially gives up its H+ example: Vinegar

18 Base strength is determined according to its OH- dissociation ease

19 Strong Bases Always contains OH- weak bonds between OH- and the rest of the base example: NaOH

20 Weak Bases Slightly dissociate into OH- <50% example: NH 3

21 Monoprotic Acids Mono form 1 H+ or 1OH- in solution Ex. Show the ionization for Hydogen fluoride: Ex. Show the dissociation of potassium hydroxide:

22 Polyprotic Acids Poly form more than 1 hydrogen or hydroxide through a series of steps

23 Ex. H3PO4
