ANNOUNCEMENTS Arnold Orville Beckman (April 10, 1900 – May 18, 2004) Invented the pH meter in 1934 (because of lemons!) Founded Silicon Valley (located in Palo Alto so that it was near his friend’s aging mother) Was a Marine in WWI
Water autoionization
pH and pOH calculations What is the pH of [H 3 O + ] = 4.6 x ? What is the pOH of [OH - ] = 3.3 x ? What is the pOH of [H 3 O + ] = 4.6 x ? What is the [H 3 O + ] when the pH = 4.2? [H 3 O + ][OH - ] = 1.0 x pH = -log[H 3 O + ] pOH = -log[OH - ] [H 3 O + ] = 10 -pH [OH - ] = 10 -pH pH + pOH = 14.00
[H 3 O + ]pH [OH - ]pOH pH+pOH=14 [H 3 O + ]][OH - ]= The pH Square
What is the pH when [H 3 O + ] = M?
What is the pH when [OH - ] = 6.5 x M?
What is the [OH-] when pH = 5.84 M? What is the [OH - ] when pH = 5.84 M? x x x
Strong acids and bases ionize completely Strong monoprotic acids [H 3 O + ] = [acid] Strong diprotic acid [H 3 O + ] = 2[acid] Strong monoprotic base [OH - ] = [base] Strong diprotic base [OH - ] = 2[base]
Calculating the pH of a strong acid solution What is the pH of a M solution of HCl?
Changing the pH of a solution is harder the farther away you are from neutral pH How much acid does it take to go from pH=1 to pH=2? How much acid does it take to go from pH=5 to pH=6? HCl molar mass=36.46 g/mol
What is the real range of pH’s that are possible? Can pH be zero? Can pH be negative? Can pH be greater than 14?
Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs Different definitions of acids and bases Brønsted-Lowry ◦ Acid = H + (proton) donor ◦ Base = H + (proton) acceptor ◦ Acid-base reaction involves proton transfer ◦ Conjugate acid/base = what is left on the other side after the proton has been transferred AcidConjugate base HFF-F- NH 4 + NH 3
What is the conjugate base of CH 3 CO 2 H? 1. CH 3 CO 2 H 2 2. CH 3 CO CH 3 CO 3
