Arrhenius Definition of Acids and Bases Acids dissolve in water to produce H +1 ions. HCl (aq) H + (aq) + Cl (aq) Bases dissolve in water to produce OH -1 ions. NaOH (aq) Na + (aq) + OH (aq) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/svante_arrhenius 3
Arrhenius Definition of Acids and Bases Common Acids Nitric Acid (HNO 3 ) HNO 3 (aq) H + (aq) + NO 3 - (aq) Common Bases Potassium Hydroxide KOH KOH (s) K + (aq) + OH - (aq) Sulfuric Acid (H 2 SO 4 ) H 2 SO 4 (aq) 2H + (aq)+ SO 4 2- (aq) Magnesium Hydroxide Mg(OH) 2 Mg(OH) 2 (s) Mg 2+ (aq) + 2 OH (aq) Acetic Acid (HC 2 H 3 O 2 ) HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) H + (aq)+ C 2 H 3 O 2 - (aq) Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH) 2 Ca(OH) 2 (s) Ca 2+ (aq) + 2 OH (aq) 4
Neutralization Reactions (Arrhenius Theory) Acids and base neutralize one another to form water and a salt. (Salt = ionic cmpd) e.g. HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) HOH (l) + NaCl (aq) H 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) 2 HOH (l) + 2 KCl (aq) 2 HNO 3 (aq) + Mg(OH) 2 (aq) 2 HOH (l) + 2 Mg(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) 5
Naming Acids Acids are ionic compounds. To name acids look up the name of the anion in the acid. a) Anion ends in ide Acid Name = Hydro + root of anion + ic Acid b) Anion ends in ite Acid Name = Root of anion + ous Acid c) Anion ends in ate Acid Name = Root of anion + ic Acid 6

Acid/Base Titrations An acid/base titration is when acid and base are reacted with one another until they reach the end point or equivalence point. The end (equivalence) point occurs when the # of moles of acid = the # of moles of base. The equivalence point is usually signaled when a dye, referred to as an indicator, changes color. 8
Acid/Base Titrations You will titrate HCl with NaOH. You will use a HCl solution of known concentration to find the concentration of a the base: HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) H 2 O (l) + NaCl (aq) Known Volume and Known [HCl] Known Volume and Unknown [NaOH] 9
Acid/Base Titrations Use burets to deliver precise volumes of acid and base. Burets can measure to the nearest 0.01 ml. Images from : http://www.csudh.edu/oliver/demos/b uretuse/buretuse.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/image:burette.svg 10
Acid/Base Titrations In our lab, the equivalence point occurs when the phenolphthalei n turns from clear to pink. Images from: http://www.chemistry.w ustl.edu/~courses/gen chem/labs/acidbase/ phph.htm Not enough base added. Too much base added. Just right. 11
K w - A special Equilibrium Constant Water molecules ionize to a very small degree: H 2 O (l) H + (aq) + OH - (aq) The equilibrium constant for the reaction is: K eq = [H + ][OH - ] This equilibrium constant is so common that it is referred to as the dissociation constant of water and is given the symbol, K w. 12
[H + ] and [OH - ] in Pure Water The concentration of H + and OH - in pure water are both 1 x 10-7 M. The K w in pure water is: K w = [H + ] x [OH - ] = [1 x 10-7 M] x [1 x 10-7 M] = 1 x 10-14 In all aqueous solutions: [H + ][OH - ] = 1 x 10-14 13
Calculations of H + and OH - in Aqueous Solutions If you know the concentration of H + in solution, you can always find the concentration of OH -. e.g. Find the [OH - ] in a 0.25 M solution of HCl. Ans: 1 x10-14 = [0.25 M][OH - ] ; [OH - ] = 4.0x10-14 M In the same way, you can find [H + ] from [OH - ]. 14
ph Scale ph is a convenient way to express the amount of acid or base in a solution without having to use exponents. ph from [H + ] ph = - log [H + ] [H + ] from ph [H + ] = 10 -ph Examples: Find the ph of a 0.010 M solution of HCl. Ans: ph = -log [0.010M] = 2.00 Find the [H + ] of a solution with ph = 3.5. Ans: 10-3.5 = 0.0032 M 15

[H + ], [OH - ], ph, and poh These four relationships will allow you to solve any problems involving [H + ], [OH - ], ph, and poh: 1. [H + ] x [OH - ] = 1 x 10-14 2. ph + poh = 14 3. ph = -log [H + ] 4. poh = -log [OH - ] 17
Brønsted Lowry Theory The Brønsted-Lowry Theory of acids and bases is broader than the Arrhenius theory. According to the B-L theory: Acids - donate H + ions Bases accept H + ions This theory broadens the definition of a base beyond substances that contain the OH ion. 18
B-L Theory of Acids and Bases Examples of B-L Acid/Base Reactions: HCl (aq) + OH- (aq) Cl (aq) + HOH (aq) Acid (H + donor) Base (H + Acceptor) NH 3 (aq) + HNO 3 (aq) NH 4 + (aq) + NO 3 - (aq) Base (H + Acceptor) Acid (H + donor) 19
Conjugate Acids/Bases According to B-L Theory, acids become bases after they have donated an H +. The difference between an acid and its conjugate base is simply an H +... Acid Conjugate Base HCl Cl - HSO - 4 SO 2-4 H 2 SO 4 HSO - 4 NH + 4 NH 3 20
Strong and Weak Acids Strong acids ionize 100% while weak acids ionize less than 10% in water. Strong Acid: HCl (aq) 100% H + (aq) + Cl (aq) Weak Acid: HF (aq) ~ 2.5% H + (aq) + Cl (aq) 21
Weak Acids: K A s The strength of a weak acids can be expressed by its equilibrium constant K A : HA H + + A - K A = [H ][A [HA] ] The larger the equilibrium constant, the stronger the acid. 22

Predicting Direction of Rxn To predict the direction of a B-L acid-base rxn, compare the K A s of the acids. The reaction will proceed away from the strongest acid: HSO 4 - + HF H 2 SO 4 + F (base) (acid) (acid) (base) 6.7 x 10-4 Large 25
