ELECTROLYTES Electrolytes are species which conducts electricity when dissolved in water. Acids, Bases, and Salts are all electrolytes. Salts and strong Acids or Bases form Strong Electrolytes. Salt and strong acids (and bases) are fully dissociated therefore all of the ions present are available to conduct electricity. HCl (s) + H 2 O H 3 O + + Cl - Weak Acids and Weak Bases for Weak Electrolytes. Weaks electrolytes are partially dissociated therefore not all species in solution are ions, some of the molecular form is present. Weak electrolytes have less ions avalible to conduct electricity. NH 3 + H 2 O NH OH -

Water Equilibrium
K w = [H + ] [OH - ] = 1.0 x Equilibrium constant for water Water or water solutions in which [H + ] = [OH - ] = M are neutral solutions. A solution in which [H+] > [OH-] is acidic A solution in which [H+] < [OH-] is basic
pH A measure of the hydronium ion The scale for measuring the hydronium ion concentration [H 3 O + ] in any solution must be able to cover a large range. A logarithmic scale covers factors of 10. The “p” in pH stands for log. A solution with a pH of 1 has [H 3 O + ] of 0.1 mol/L or A solution with a pH of 3 has [H 3 O + ] of mol/L or A solution with a pH of 7 has [H 3 O + ] of mol/L or pH = - log [H 3 O + ]
The pH scale The pH scale ranges from 1 to mol/L or from 1 to 14. pH = - log [H 3 O + ] acid neutral base
Manipulating pH Algebraic manipulation of: pH = - log [H 3 O + ] allows for: [H 3 O + ] = 10 -pH If pH is a measure of the hydronium ion concentration then the same equations could be used to describe the hydroxide (base) concentration. [OH - ] = 10 -pOH pOH = - log [OH - ]thus: pH + pOH = 14 ; the entire pH range!
TITRATION Titration of a strong acid with a strong base ENDPOINT = POINT OF NEUTRALIZATION = EQUIVALENCE POINT At the end point for the titration of a strong acid with a strong base, the moles of acid (H + ) equals the moles of base (OH - ) to produce the neutral species water (H 2 O). If the mole ratio in the balanced chemical equation is 1:1 then the following equation can be used. MOLES OF ACID = MOLES OF BASE n acid = n base Since M=n/V M A V A = M B V B

TITRATION Titration of a strong acid with a strong base ENDPOINT = POINT OF NEUTRALIZATION = EQUIVALENCE POINT At the end point for the titration of a strong acid with a strong base, the moles of acid (H + ) equals the moles of base (OH - ) to produce the neutral species water (H 2 O). If the mole ratio in the balanced chemical equation is NOT 1:1 then you must rely on the mole relationship and handle the problem like any other stoichiometry problem.
