Acids & Bases pH
Ionization of Water H 2 O + H 2 O H 3 O + + OH - K w = [H 3 O + ][OH - ] = 1.0 Kw=ionization constant for H2O
Acidic or Basic [H 3 O + ][OH - ] = 1.0 ACIDIC [H+] is greater than [OH-] [H+] is greater than 1.0 BASIC [OH-] is greater than [H+] [H+] is less than 1.0 10 -7
Ionization of Water Find the hydroxide ion concentration of 3.0 M HCl. [H 3 O + ][OH - ] = 1.0 [3.0 ][OH - ] = 1.0 [OH - ] = 3.3 M Acidic or basic? Acidic ([H+] > 1 EE -7)
Problem Colas are slightly acidic. If the [H+] in a solution is 1.0 x M, is the solution acidic basic or neutral? What is the [OH-] of this solution? Known: [H+] = 1.0 x M Kw = [H+] x [OH-] = 1 x Answer 1: Because 1.0 x M is greater than 1.0 x M, the solution is acidic Answer 2: [OH-] = 1 x x = 1.0 x M
pH = -log [H + ] pH Scale 0 7 INCREASING ACIDITY NEUTRAL INCREASING BASICITY 14
pH Scale pH of Common Substances
pH Scale pH = -log [H + ] pOH = -log [OH - ] pH + pOH = 14 [ ] = concentration
pH Scale What is the pH of M HNO 3 ? pH = -log[H + ] pH = -log[0.050] pH = 1.3 Acidic or basic? Acidic
pH Scale What is the molarity (conc) of HBr in a solution that has a pOH of 9.6? pH + pOH = 14 pH = 14 pH = 4.4 Acidic pH = -log[H + ] 4.4 = -log[H + ] = log[H + ] (10 x key)= [H + ] [H + ] = 4.0 M HBr
