Practical Applications Neutralization has many practical applications. Reclamation (restoration) of land once used for mining also involves neutralization reactions. Neutralization is also used to deal with environmental problems. Acids and bases are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, synthetic fabrics, pigments, petroleum, iron and steel, explosives, dyes, plastics, pesticides, soaps and detergents, paper, film, and many other chemicals.
Practical Applications They are also used for various other purposes, including cleaning surfaces, refining oil and sugar, electroplating metals, and treating food products. Sulfuric acid is the chemical most widely used in industry. Nitric acid, another important industrial acid, is used in the manufacture of fertilizers, plastics, photographic film, and dyes and explosives as dynamite and TNT.

Reactions Between Acids and Bases A neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid and a base in an aqueous solution react to produce a salt and water. A salt is an ionic compound made up of a cation from a base and an anion from an acid.

Reactions Between Acids and Bases (cont.) Titration is a method for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting a known volume of that solution with a solution of known concentration.
Reactions Between Acids and Bases (cont.) In a titration procedure, a measured volume of an acid or base of unknown concentration is placed in a beaker, and initial ph recorded. A buret is filled with the titrating solution of known concentration, called a titrant.
Reactions Between Acids and Bases (cont.) Measured volumes of the standard solution are added slowly and mixed into the solution in the beaker, and the ph is read and recorded after each addition. The process continues until the reaction reaches the equivalence point, which is the point at which moles of H + ion from the acid equals moles of OH ion from the base. An abrupt change in ph occurs at the equivalence point.

Salt Hydrolysis (cont.) Salts that produce neutral solutions NaNO 3 is the salt of a strong acid (HNO 3 ) and a strong base (NaOH). Little or no salt hydrolysis occurs because neither Na + nor NO 3 react with water.
Buffered Solutions The ph of blood must be kept in within a narrow range. Buffers are solutions that resist changes in ph when limited amounts of acid or base are added.
Buffered Solutions (cont.) Ions and molecules in a buffer solution resist changes in ph by reacting with any hydrogen ions of hydroxide ions added to the buffered solution. HF(aq) H + (aq) + F (aq) When acid is added, the equilibrium shifts to the left.
Buffered Solutions (cont.) Additional H + ions react with F ions to form undissociated HF molecules but the ph changes little. The amount of acid or base that a buffer solution can absorb without a significant change in ph is called the buffer capacity.

Key Concepts Section 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases Strong acids and strong bases are completely ionized in a dilute aqueous solution. Weak acids and weak bases are partially ionized in a dilute aqueous solution. For weak acids and weak bases, the value of the acid or base ionization constant is a measure of the strength of the acid or base.
Key Concepts Section 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and ph The ion product constant for water, K w, equals the product of the H + ion concentration and the OH ion concentration. K w = [H + ][OH ] The ph of a solution is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. The poh is the negative log of the hydroxide ion concentration. ph plus poh equals 14. ph = log [H + ] poh = log [OH ] ph + poh = 14.00 A neutral solution has a ph of 7.0 and a poh of 7.0 because the concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions are equal.
