Conjugate acid/base pairs HA + B A - + BH +
Salts Ionic solid Product of acid/ base reaction neutralization
Autoprotolysis of water H 2 O + H 2 O H 3 O + + OH - K w = [OH - ][H 3 O + ] = 1.01 x o C
What is pH? pH = -log{H 3 O + } ~ -log[H 3 O + ] pH of pure water? Acidic vs. Bases
Strength of Acids/Bases
Weak Acid : Doesn’t completely dissociates
Strength of Acids/Bases Weak Base: Doesn’t completely dissociates
Relationship between K a and K b
Polyprotic acids
Ionic Strength C = molarity z = charge 1:1 electrolytes (NaCl) - μ = molarity 2:1, etc electrolytes (BaCl 2 ) - μ > molarity
What is the ionic strength of 0.1 M LiCl? What is the ionic strength of 0.1M Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ?
Electrolyte (salt) effect Effective concentration of ions become less as μ increases Shielding effect Non-ideal behavior
Activity [i] o = 1M (makes {i} dimensionless) γ is activity coefficient
Extended Debye-Hückel equation α – ion size z - charge γ – activity coefficient μ – ionic strength
