5. Acid dissolves buildings and teeth The main constituent of limestone and marble, which are used in many building is calcite, a crystalline form of calcium carbonate. This mineral is insoluble in neutral or basic solution but soluble in acid solution. Calcite Carbonate CaCO 3(s) Ca 2+ + CO 3 2- CO 3 2- + H + HCO 3 - Bicarbonate 5

6. Tooth decay Tooth enamel contains the mineral hydroxyapatite, a calcium hydroxy-phosphate. Bacteria residing on your teeth metabolize sugar into lactic acid, which lowers the pH below 5 at the surface of a tooth. Acid dissolves the hydroxyapatite, thereby crating tooth decay. Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2(s) + 14 H + 10 Ca 2+ + 6 H 2 PO 4 - + 2H 2 O Hydroxyapatite 6

7. 11-1 Amino Acids Are Polyprotic Carbonic acid from limestone, phosphoric acid from teeth, and amino acids from proteins are all polyprotic acids. Polyprotic acids have more than one acidic proton. Amino acids from which proteins are built have an acidic carboxylic acid group, a basic amino group, and a variable substituent designated R: 7

8. Amino acid is a kind of inner salt. The resulting structure, with positive and negative sites, is called a zwitterion. A acid dissociation constants of the 20 common amino acids are given in Table 11-1. 8

11. Isoelectric point (pI) One molecule can not move in the electric field at certain pH (the net charge of that molecule is 0 at this pH), and we call this pH as the isoelectic point (pI) of that molecule. pI = (pK a1 + pK a2 )/2 in cysteine Cysteine has three acidic protons What’s the pI of aspartic acid and lysine? 11

12. 12

13. A diprotic acid has two acid dissociation constants, designated K a1 and K a2 (where K a1 ＞ K a2 ) ： The two base association constants are designated K b1 and K b2 (K b1 ＞ K b2 ) ： 13

14. Relation Between K a and K b K a1 (or K 1 ) refers to the acidic species with the most protons, and K b1 refers to the basic species with no acidic protons. 14

15. Box 11-1 Carbon dioxide in the air and ocean Carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, with a significant role in regulating the temperature of earth’s surface. Earth absorbs sunlight and then radiates energy away by discharging infrared radiation to space. A greenhouse gas is so named because it absorbs infrared radiation emitted from the ground and reradiates back to the ground. 15

16. Carbon dioxide in the air and ocean (cont.) The balance between sunlight absorbed and radiation to space determines the surface temperature. The ocean is a major reservoir for CO 2. When the concentration of dissolved CO 2 goes up, the pH of the ocean goes down. CO 2 could be trapped in ice cores in Antarctica and the measurement could track the CO 2 concentration in history. 16

18. 11-2 Finding the pH in Diprotic Systems A molecule that can both donate and accept a proton is said to be amphiprotic... 18

19. The pH of a solution of the intermediate form of a diprotic acid is approximately midway between pK 1 and pK 2, almost independent of concentration. (p. 243-248). Example:pH of Intermediate Form of a Diprotic Acid Example: pH of Intermediate Form of a Diprotic Acid Potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP, is a salt of the intermediate form of phthalic acid. Calculate the pH of 0.10 M KHP and of 0.010 M KHP. 19 SOLUTION: the pH of potassium hydrogen phthalate is estimated as 1/2(pK 1 +pK 2 )=4.18, regardless of concentration.

20. 11-3 Which Is the Principal Species? What is the principal form of benzoic acid at pH 8? (A - ) What is the principal form of benzoic acid at pH 3? (HA) 20

21. Which is the principal species? pH < pK a major species: HA pH > pK a major species: A - In monoprotic acid, the major species can be defined by pK a. 21

25. Example: PrincipalSpecies-Which One and HowMuch? Example: Principal Species-Which One and How Much? What is the predominated form of ammonia in a solution at pH 7.0? Approximately what fraction is in this form?SOLUTION: At pH=9.24, [NH 4 ＋ ] = [NH 3 ]. Below pH 9.24, NH 4 ＋ will be the predominant form. Because pH = 7.0 is about 2 pH units below pK a, the quotient [NH 3 ]/[NH 4 ＋ ] will be about 1:100. Approximately 99% is in the form NH 4 ＋. 25

28. The ammonium group next to the carboxyl group is more acidic than the substituent ammonium group at the right. What is the principal form of arginine at pH 10.0? Approximately what fraction is in this form? What is the second most abundant form at this pH? SOLUTION: SOLUTION : The predominant species between pK 2 = 8.99 and pK 3 =12.1 is HA. At pK 2, [H 2 A ＋ ] = [HA]. At pK 3, [HA] = [A － ]. Because pH 10.0 is about one pH unit higher than pK 2, we can say that [HA]/[H 2 A ＋ ] ～ 10 ： 1. About 90% of arginine is in the form HA. The second most abundant species is H 2 A ＋ at ~10%. 28

29. 11-4 Titrations in Polyprotic Systems All Henderson-Hasselbalch equation are always true for a solution at equilibrium. The pK 1 and pK 2 play important roles to show the character of this diprotic acid. 29

36. 36 12-1 Chemical equilibrium in the environment Because of the acid drainage from abandoned coal mines, part of the north branch of the Potomac River is lifeless. As the river passes a paper mill and wastewater treatment increase the pH from 4.5 to 7.2.

37. 37 The effect of ionic strength on solubility of salts

38. When slightly soluble lead (II) iodide dissolves in pure water, many species are formed.

39. 39 Effect of KNO 3 on the solubility of PbI 2 When KNO 3 is added to the saturated PbI 2 solution, the total concentration of dissolved iodine increases. The dissolved iodine includes free iodide and the iodide attached to lead. Why does solubility increase when salts are added to the solution?

41. 41 The effect of ionic strength on solubility of salts The I - ion is surrounded by cations (K +, Pb 2+ ) and anions (NO 3 -, I - ) in the solution. The typical anion (I - ) has more cations than anions near it. We call this region the ionic atmosphere. The net charge in the atmosphere is less than the charge of the anion at the center. The ionic atmosphere attenuates (decrease) the attraction between ions in solutions.

43. 43 The effect of ionic strength on solubility of salts (cont.) The higher the concentration of ions in a solution, the higher the charge in the ionic atmosphere. Each ion-plus-atmosphere contains less net charge and there is less attraction between any particular cation and anion. The greater the ionic strength of the solution, the greater the charge in each ionic atmosphere.

44. 44 The effect of ionic strength on solubility of salts (cont.) What is ionic strength? Ionic strength, , is a measure of the total concentration of ions in solution. The more highly charged an ion, the more it is counted.  = (c 1 z 1 2 + c 2 z 2 2 + c 3 z 3 2 + …)/2 = 1/2  c i z i 2 Where c i is the concentration of the ith species and z i is its charge.

45. 45 The effect of ionic strength on solubility of salts (cont.) Each of the following reactions is driven to the right if KNO 3 is added. Fe(SCN) 2+ Fe 3+ + SCN -

46. 46 Example:Calculation of Ion Strength Example: Calculation of Ion Strength Find the ionic strength of (a) 0.10 M NaNO 3 ; (b) 0.010 M Na 2 SO 4 ; and (c) 0.020 M KBr plus 0.010 M Na 2 SO 4.SOLUTION:

47. 47 Activity coefficients of ions

48. 48 12.2 Activity coefficients aA + bB cC + dD K = [C] c [D] d [A] a [B] b Activity of C: Ac = [C]  C,  C is the activity coefficient of C Therefore, we can rewrite the constant: K = = [C] c  C c [D] d  D d [A] a  A a [B] b  B b ACc ADdACc ADdAAa ABbAAa ABbACc ADdACc ADdAAa ABbAAa ABb K sp = (A Pb2 + ) (A I -) 2 = [Pb 2+ ]  Pb2 + [I - ] 2  I - 2

49. 49 Extended Debye-H ü ckel equation  is the activity coefficient of an ion of charge z and size  (picometers, pm) in an aqueous solution of ionic strength . The equation works fairly well for  ≤ 0.1 M Log  = -0.51 z 2  1+ (   / 305 )

50. 50 The size  is the effective hydrated radius of the ion and its tightly bound sheath of water molecules. Extended Debye-H ü ckel equation (cont.)

51. 51 Cations attract the negatively charged oxygen atom of H 2 O and anions attract the positively charged H atoms.

52. 52 Ionic and hydrated radii of fluoride and iodide. The smaller F - ion binds water molecules more tightly than does I -, so F - has the larger hydrated radius. Extended Debye-H ü ckel equation (cont.)

53. 53 Extended Debye-H ü ckel equation (cont.) The smaller Li + ion binds water molecules more tightly than does the larger K + ion, so Li + has the larger hydrated diameter

54. 54 Effect of ionic strength, ion charge, and ion size on the activity coefficient As ionic strength increases, the activity coefficient decreases. As the charge of the ion increases, the departure of its activity from unity increases. The smaller the hydrated radius of the ion, the more important activity effects become.

55. Activity coefficients for differently charged ions with a constant Hydrated radius of 500 pm. At zero ionic strength,  = 1

56. 56 One easy way to obtain activity coefficients We may obtain the activity coefficients by using the Extended Deby-H ü ckel equation. However, this method could be very complicated and time consuming. We may utilize Table 12-1 (p. 269) to obtain the activity coefficients. This method is very easy. If the activity coefficient does not exist on the table, what would you do?

57. 57

58. 58 Welcome to the real world! Activity coefficients of nonionic compound: Neutral molecules (benzene, etc.) have no ionic atmosphere because they don ’ t have charge. Therefore, the activity of a neutral molecule will be assumed to be equal to its concentration. The real definition of pH: pH = - log A H + = - log [H + ]  H +

59. 59 High ionic strength In fact, above an ionic strength of approximately 1 M, activity coefficients of most ions increases. In concentrated solutions, the ‘ solvent ’ is no longer just H 2 O.

61. Example:Using Table 12-1 Example: Using Table 12-1 Find the activity coefficient of Mg 2 ＋ in a solution of 3.3 mM Mg(NO 3 ) 2.SOLUTION:. In table 12-1, Mg 2+ has a size of 800 pm. When  = 0.010 M,  = 0.69 61

62. Example:Interpolating Activity Coefficients Example: Interpolating Activity Coefficients Calculate the activity coefficient of H ＋ when μ = 0.025 M.SOLUTION: Another Solution ： 62

63. Example:A Better Estimate of the Solubility of PbI 2 Example: A Better Estimate of the Solubility of PbI 2 From the solubility product alone, you estimated in Ask Yourself 12-A that the concentration of dissolved iodine in a saturated solution of PbI 2 is 2.5 mM. The observed concentration of dissolved iodine in the absence of KNO 3 in Figure 12-1 in 3.8 mM, which is 50% higher than the predicted concentration of I － of 2.5 mM. The Pb 2 ＋ and I － ions increase the ionic strength of the solution and therefore increase the solubility of PbI 2. Use activity coefficients to estimate the increased solubility. 63
