Acids and Bases

Acids and Bases. An acid is a substance that produces Hydrogen ions, H + (aq) in water (Arrhenius definition). The hydrogen ion ( H + ) bonds with a water molecule to make a hydronium ion, H 3 0 + (aq) (H + -> H 2 0 = H 3 O + ). Strong acids.

  1. Acids and Bases

  2. An acid is a substance that produces Hydrogen ions, H+(aq) in water (Arrhenius definition). The hydrogen ion (H+) bonds with a water molecule to make a hydronium ion, H30+ (aq) (H+ -> H20 = H3O+)

  3. Strong acids A strong acid is an acid, which ionizes extremely well. Essentially all of the acid molecules are ionized. (lots of H3O+) Example: HCl, HBr, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4 Example: HCl (aq) + H2O(l) -> H30+(aq) + Cl-(aq) H2SO4(aq) +2H2O(l) -> 2H3O+ + SO42-(aq) (Ionization equations show how they react with water to make H3O+)

  4. Weak acid A weak acid is an acid which ionizes poorly. Only a small percentage of the acid molecules actually ionize. (a few H3O+) Example: HC2H3O2 HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l)  H3O+(aq)+ C2H302-

  5. Bases A base is a substance that produces hydroxide ions, OH-, in water (Arrhenius defintion) A strong base is a base that dissociates 100% in aqueous solution. Example: NaOH(s)  Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) KOH(s) -> K+(aq) + OH-(aq) (Ionization equations: show how they make ions)

  6. Weak base A weak base is a base which ionizes poorly. Only a small percentage of the base molecules actually ionize.(a few OH- Example: NH3(aq) + H2O(l) -> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)

  7. The pH scale A shorter, more suitable method to express the acidity of a solution. pH stands for potency of hydrogen 0 7 14 Very acidic neutral very basic [H3O+]>[OH-][H3O+]=[OH-][H3O+]<[OH-]

  8. pH = -log[H3O+] Quantitatively:p (power) represents the negative log H stands for the concentration of hydrogen ions or H30+ ions pH= 2.0 [H3O+] = 1 x 10-2mol/L pH= 3.0 [H3O+] = 1 x 10-3mol/L

  9. If the [H3O+] of a solution is 1.0 x 10-7, determine the pH of the solution pH = -log [H3O+] = -log(1.0 x 10-7) = -(-7.00) = 7.00

  10. Determine the pH for a solution that has [H3O+] = 0.0103 mol/L pH = -log [H3O+] = -log(0.0103) = 1.99
