Chapter 16 Acids and Bases
Arrhenius Acid-Base Theory Arrhenius, Svante August • (1859-1927), Swedish chemist • 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry acid - hydrogen ion (proton) donor base - hydroxide ion donor
Bronsted-LowreyAcid-Base Theory acid - proton donor base - proton acceptor strong vs. weak acids and bases • strong - completely ionized • weak - partially ionized
Brönsted-LowryAcid-Base Systems Acid-Base Conjugate Pairs conjugate base => what results when an acid looses its proton conjugate acid => what results when a base gains its proton
Water’s Role as Acid or Base Water acting as a Base HA + H2O H3O+ + A- acid base Water acting as an Acid B + H2O BH+ + OH- base acid
Strong vs. Weak Acids and Bases strong acid • completely ionized weak acid • partially ionized
Mixtures of Strong and Weak Acids • the presence of the strong acid retards the dissociation of the weak acid
Autoionization of Water H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH- [H3O+][OH-] K = [H2O]2 Kw = K [H2O]2 = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 10-14
Autoionization of Water Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 10-14 for a neutral solution [H3O+] = [OH-] [H3O+][H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14 [H3O+]2 = 1.0 x 10-14 [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-7 -log([H3O+]) = -log(1.0 10-7) pH = -log([H3O+]) = 7.00
Autoionization of Water a solution is considered acidic when [H3O+] > 1.0 10-7 M [OH-] < 1.0 10-7 M a solution is considered bacic when [H3O+] < 1.0 10-7 M [OH-] > 1.0 10-7 M
pH Scale pH = - log10[H3O+] pH Scale @ -2 => @ +16
pOH Scale pOH = - log10[OH-] pOH Scale @ -2 => @ +16
Solutions of Strong Acids [H3O+] = Macid pH = - log10[H3O+] = - log10(Macid)
Concentration Scales a solution is considered acidic when pH < 7 and pOH > 7 a solution is considered bacic when pH > 7 and pOH < 7 pKw = pH + pOH = 14.00
EXAMPLE: What is the pH of a solution that has a [H3O+] = 0.435 M? pH = - log10[H3O+] = - log10(0.435) = 0.362
EXAMPLE: What is the pH of a solution that has a [OH-] = 25M? pOH = - log10[OH-] = - log10(25) = - 1.40 = 14.00 - (- 1.40) pH = 14.00 - pOH = 15.40

Acid Dissociation Constant HC2H3O2 + H2O H3O+ + C2H3O2- [H3O+][C2H3O2-] K = [H2O][HC2H3O2] [H3O+][C2H3O2-] Ka = K [H2O] = [HC2H3O2]
Base Dissociation Constant NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH- [NH4+][OH-] K = [H2O][NH3] [NH4+][OH-] Kb = K [H2O] = [NH3]
Polyprotic Acids • acids where more than one hydrogen per molecule is released
EXAMPLE: Calculate the [H3O+] in an aqueous 0.140 M acetic acid solution. HC2H3O2 + H2O H3O+ + C2H3O2- CHA = 0.140 M [H3O+]e[C2H3O2-]e Ka = = 1.75 10-5 M [HC2H3O2]e let [H3O+]e» [C2H3O2-]e [HC2H3O2]e= 0.140M - [H3O+]e
EXAMPLE: Calculate the [H3O+] in an aqueous 0.140 M acetic acid solution. CHA = 0.140 M Ka = 1.75 10-5 M let [H3O+]e» [C2H3O2-]e [HC2H3O2]e= 0.140M - [H3O+]e using the quadratic equation - Ka + (Ka2 + 4KaCHA)1/2 [H3O+]e = 2 [H3O+]e = 1.56 10-3 M
EXAMPLE: A saturated aqueous solution of caproic acid contains 11 g/L and has a pH = 2.94. What is its Ka? HC6H11O2 + H2O H3O+ + C6H11O2- [H3O+]e[C6H11O2-]e Ka = = ? [HC6H11O2]e [H3O+]e = 10-pH = 10-2.94 = 1.1 10-3 M [C6H11O2-]e = [H3O+]e = 1.1 10-3 M [HC6H11O2]i = (11 g/L)(1 mol/116 g) = 9.5 10-2 M
EXAMPLE: A saturated aqueous solution of caproic acid contains 11 g/L and has a pH = 2.94. What is its Ka? [C6H11O2-]e = [H3O+]e = 1.1 10-3 M [HC6H11O2]e = 9.4 x 10-2 M [H3O+]e[C6H11O2-]e Ka = [HC6H11O2]e (1.1 10-3 M)2 Ka = = 1.3 10-5 M 9.4 10-2 M
Influence of Molecular Structure on Acid Strength Binary Hydrides • hydrogen & one other element • Bond Strengths • weaker the bond, the stronger the acid • Stability of Anion • higher the electronegativity, stronger the acid
Influence of Molecular Structure on Acid Strength Oxyacids • hydrogen, oxygen, & one other element H-O-E • higher the electronegativity on E, stronger the acid as this weakens the bond between the O and H
The Conjugate Partners of Strong Acids and Bases • the conjugate base of a strong acid has no net effect on the pH of a solution

Weak Acids and Bases:Qualitative Aspects The Leveling Effect of the Solvent in glacial acetic acid HClO4 + CH3COOH(l) => CH3COOH2+ + ClO4- complete dissociation, thus strong acid HCl + CH3COOH(l) CH3COOH2+ + Cl- incomplete dissociation, equilibrium established, weak acid
