All water solutions contain hydrogen ions (H + ) and hydroxide ions (OH – ). An acidic solution contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. A basic solution contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. SECTION 18.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases Properties of Acids and Bases (cont.)

The usual solvent for acids and bases is water—water produces equal numbers of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in a process called self-ionization. H 2 O(l) + H 2 O(l) H 3 O + (aq) + OH – (aq) SECTION 18.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases Properties of Acids and Bases (cont.) The hydronium ion is H3O+.

The Arrhenius Model The Arrhenius model states that an acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes to produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution, and a base is a substance that contains a hydroxide group and dissociates to produce a hydroxide ion in solution. SECTION 18.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases

The Arrhenius Model (cont.) Arrhenius acids and bases –HCl ionizes to produce H + ions. –HCl(g) → H + (aq) + Cl – (aq) –NaOH dissociates to produce OH – ions. –NaOH(s) → Na + (aq) + OH – (aq) –Some solutions produce hydroxide ions even though they do not contain a hydroxide group. SECTION 18.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases

The Brønsted-Lowry Model The Brønsted-Lowry Model of acids and bases states that an acid is a hydrogen ion donor, and a base is a hydrogen ion acceptor. The Brønsted-Lowry Model is a more inclusive model of acids and bases. SECTION 18.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases

A conjugate acid is the species produced when a base accepts a hydrogen ion. A conjugate base is the species produced when an acid donates a hydrogen ion. A conjugate acid-base pair consists of two substances related to each other by donating and accepting a single hydrogen ion. SECTION 18.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases The Brønsted-Lowry Model (cont.)

Hydrogen fluoride—a Brønsted-Lowry acid –HF(aq) + H 2 O(l) ↔ H 3 O + (aq) + F – (aq) –HF = acid, H 2 O = base, H 3 O + = conjugate acid, F – = conjugate base SECTION 18.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases The Brønsted-Lowry Model (cont.)

Explain the relationship between the strengths of acids and bases and the values of their ionization constants. SECTION 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases

strong acid weak acid acid ionization constant strong base weak base base ionization constant In solution, strong acids and bases ionize completely, but weak acids and bases ionize only partially. SECTION 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases

Strengths of Acids Acids that ionize completely are strong acids. Because they produce the maximum number of hydrogen ions, strong acids are good conductors of electricity. SECTION 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases

Acids that ionize only partially in dilute aqueous solutions are called weak acids. SECTION 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases Strengths of Acids (cont.)

With a strong acid, the conjugate base is a weak base. Equilibrium lies almost completely to the right in the equation because the conjugate base has a weaker attraction for the H + ion than does the base in the forward reaction. In a weak acid, the ionization equilibrium lies to the far left in the ionization equation because the conjugate base has a greater attraction for H + ions than does the base in the forward reaction. SECTION 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases Strengths of Acids (cont.)

The equilibrium constant, K eq, provides a quantitative measure of the degree of ionization of an acid. The acid ionization constant is the value of the equilibrium constant expression for the ionization of a weak acid, K a. K a indicates whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium. SECTION 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases Strengths of Acids (cont.)

For weak acids, the products tend to be smaller compared to the un-ionized molecules (reactant). Weaker acids have a smaller K a. SECTION 18.2 Strengths of Acids and Bases Strengths of Acids (cont.)

Calculate the pH and pOH of aqueous solutions. pH and pOH are logarithmic scales that express the concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions. SECTION 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and pH

Ion Product Constant for Water Pure water contains equal concentrations of H + and OH – ions. The ion product constant of water, K w = [H + ][OH – ]. The ion product constant for water is the value of the equilibrium constant expression for the self-ionization of water. SECTION 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and pH

Ion Product Constant for Water (cont.) With pure water at 298 K, both [H + ] and [OH – ] are equal to 1.0 × 10 –7 M. K w at 298 K = 1.0 × 10 –14 K w and LeChâtelier’s Principle proves [H + ] × [OH – ] must equal 1.0 × 10 –14 at 298 K, and as [H + ] goes up, [OH – ] must go down. SECTION 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and pH

pH and pOH Concentrations of H + ions are often small numbers expressed in scientific notation. pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution. pH = –log [H + ] SECTION 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and pH

pOH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration. pOH = –log [OH – ] The sum of pH and pOH equals 14. SECTION 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and pH pH and pOH (cont.)

For all strong monoprotic acids, the concentration of the acid is the concentration of H + ions. For all strong bases, the concentration of the OH – ions available is the concentration of the base. Weak acids and weak bases only partially ionize and K a and K b values must be used. SECTION 18.3 Hydrogen Ions and pH pH and pOH (cont.)

SECTION 18.4 Neutralization 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. SECTION 18.4 Neutralization 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. SECTION 18.4 Neutralization 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. SECTION 18.4 Neutralization Reactions Between Acids and Bases (cont.)
