(Label the Conjugate Pairs) Water in the last example acted as a Bronsted-Lowry base, and here it is acting as an acid. or

-a base contains an OH group and ionizes in solutions to produce OH - ions: Neutralization: Hydrogen ions (H + ) in solution form

In the Brønsted-Lowry system, a Brønsted-Lowry acid is a species that donates H + and a Brønsted-Lowry base is a species that accepts H +.

What are Acids &Bases? Definition? a) Arrhenius b) Bronsted-Lowry c) Lewis CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-2

Arrhenius definitions Acid Anything that produces hydrogen ions in a water solution. HCl (aq) H + + Cl - Base Anything that produces hydroxide ions in a water solution. NaOH (aq) Na + + OH - Arrhenius definitions are limited to aqueous solutions. Acid base reactions: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H 2 O(l) CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-3

Brønsted-Lowry definitions Expands the Arrhenius definitions Acid Proton donor Base Proton acceptor This definition explains how substances like ammonia can act as bases. NH 3 (g) + H 2 O(l) NH 4 + + OH - Eg. HCl(g) + NH 3 (g) ------> NH 4 Cl(s) HCl (acid), NH 3 (base). CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-4

Bronsted conjugate acid/base pairs in equilibria HCl(aq) + H 2 O(l) H 3+ O(aq) + Cl - (aq) HCl(aq): acid H 2 O(l): base H 3+ O(aq): conjugate acid Cl - (aq): conjugate base H 2 O/ H 3+ O: base/conjugate acid pair HCl/Cl - : acid/conjugate base pair CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-7

Brønsted-Lowry definitions Conjugate acid-base pairs. Acids and bases that are related by loss or gain of H + as H 3 O + and H 2 O. Examples. Acid Base H 3 O + H 2 O HC 2 H 3 O 2 C 2 H 3 O 2 - NH 4 + NH 3 H 2 SO 4 HSO 4 - HSO 4- SO 4 2- CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-8

Types of Acids and Bases Binary acids Oxyacid Organic acids Acidic oxides Basic oxides Amine Polyprotic acids CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-10

Binary Acids Compounds containing acidic protons bonded to a more electronegative atom. e.g. HF, HCl, HBr, HI, H 2 S The acidity of the haloacid (HX; X = Cl, Br, I, F) Series increase in the following order: HF < HCl < HBr < HI CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-11

Oxyacids Compounds containing acidic - OH groups in the molecule. Acidity of H 2 SO 4 is greater than H 2 SO 3 because of the extra O (oxygens) The order of acidity of oxyacids from the a halogen (Cl, Br, or I) shows a similar trend. HClO 4 > HClO 3 > HClO 2 >HClO perchloric chloric chlorus hyphochlorus CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-12

Aqua Acids Acidic proton is on a water molecule coordinated to a central metal ion [Fe(OH 2 ) 6 ] 3+,Al(OH 2 ) 6 3+, Si(OH) 4 Acidity increase with charge Acidity increase as metal become smaller CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-13

Anhydrous oxides The Lux/Flood Definition Covers things which would become acids or bases if dissolved in water. Acidic Oxides These are usually oxides of non-metallic elements such as P, S and N. E.g. NO 2, SO 2, SO 3, CO 2 They produce oxyacids when dissolved in water CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-14

Basic Oxides Oxides oxides of metallic elements such as Na, K, Ca. They produce hydroxyl bases when dissolved in water. e.g. CaO + H 2 O --> Ca(OH) 2 CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-15

Protic Acids Monoprotic Acids: The form protic refers to acidity or protons. Monoprotic acids have only one acidic proton. e.g. HCl. Polyprotic Acids: They have more than one acidic proton. e.g. H 2 SO 4 - diprotic acid H 3 PO 4 - triprotic acid. CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-16

WEAKER/STRONGER Acids and Bases & K a and K b values A larger value of K a or K b indicates an equilibrium favoring product side. Acidity and basicity increase with increasing K a or K b. pk a = - log K a and pk b = - log K b Acidity and basicity decrease with increasing pk a or pk b. CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-30

Autoionization of water Autoionization When water molecules react with one another to form ions. H 2 O (l) + H 2 O (l) H 3 O + (aq) + OH - (aq) (10-7 M) (10-7 M) K w = [ H 3 O + ] [ OH - ] ion product of water = 1.0 x 10-14 at 25 o C Note: [H 2 O] is constant and is included in K w. CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-31

What is K w? H 2 O(l) + H 2 O(l) H 3+ O(aq) + OH - (aq) This dissociation is called autoionization of water. Autoionization of water: K w = [H 3+ O][OH - ] K w is called ionic product of water K w = 1 x 10-14 CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-32

Why is water important for acid/base equilibria? Water is the medium/solvent for acids and bases. Acids and bases alter the dissociation equilibrium of water based on Le Chaterlier s principle H 2 O(l) + H 2 O(l) H 3+ O(aq) + OH - (aq) CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-33

Comparing K w and K a & K b Any compound with a K a value greater than K w of water will be a an acid in water. Any compound with a K b value greater than K w of water will be a base in water. CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-34

ph and other p scales We need to measure and use acids and bases over a very large concentration range. ph and poh are systems to keep track of these very large ranges. ph = -log[h 3 O + ] poh = -log[oh - ] ph + poh = 14 CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-35

ph scale A logarithmic scale used to keep track of the large changes in [H + ]. 14 7 0 10-14 M 10-7 M 1 M Very Neutral Very Basic Acidic When you add an acid, the ph gets smaller. When you add a base, the ph gets larger. CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-36

What is ph? K w = [H 3+ O][OH - ] = 1 x 10-14 [H 3+ O][OH - ] = 10-7 x 10-7 Extreme cases: Basic medium [H 3+ O][OH - ] = 10-14 x 10 0 Acidic medium [H 3+ O][OH - ] = 10 0 x 10-14 ph value is -log[h + ] spans only 0-14 in water. CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-38

ph, pk w and poh The relation of ph, K w and poh K w = [H + ][OH - ] log K w = log [H + ] + log [OH - ] -log K w = -log [H + ] -log [OH - ] ; previous equation multiplied by -1 pk w = ph + poh; pk w = 14 since K w =1 x 10-14 14 = ph + poh ph = 14 - poh poh = 14 - ph CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-39

Two types weak acid and its salt weak base and its salt Buffers HA(aq) + H 2 O(l) H 3 O + (aq) + A - (aq) Add OH - Add H 3 O + shift to right shift to left Based on the common ion effect. CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-46

Solvent leveling If the solvent contains ionizable protons it is said to be protonic, and if it is protonic, it will engage in acid-base reactions. All acids/bases which are stronger than the H 3 O + (aq) or OH - (aq) ion will react to produce hydronium/hydroxide ion, and so their strength will be leveled to that of the H 3 O + (aq) or OH - (aq) ion. In aqueous solution, the strongest acid/base which can exist is the H 3 O + (aq) or OH - (aq) CHEM 281 Winter 2009 Chapter 4-56
