Types of Electrolytes Salts are water-soluble ionic compounds. All strong electrolytes. Acids form H+1 ions in water solution. Bases combine with H+1 ions in water solution. Increases the OH-1 concentration. May either directly release OH-1 or pull H+1 off H2O. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

Structure of Bases Most ionic bases contain OH ions. NaOH, Ca(OH)2 Some contain CO32- ions. CaCO3 NaHCO3 Molecular bases contain structures that react with H+. Mostly amine groups. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

Arrhenius Theory Bases dissociate in water to produce OH- ions and cations. Ionic substances dissociate in water. NaOH(aq) → Na+(aq) + OH–(aq) Acids ionize in water to produce H+ ions and anions. Because molecular acids are not made of ions, they cannot dissociate. They must be pulled apart, or ionized, by the water. HCl(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl–(aq) In formula, ionizable H is written in front. HC2H3O2(aq) → H+(aq) + C2H3O2–(aq) Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
10
Arrhenius Theory, Continued
HCl ionizes in water, producing H+ and Cl– ions. NaOH dissociates in water, producing Na+ and OH– ions. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
11
Brønsted–Lowry Theory
A Brønsted-Lowry acid–base reaction is any reaction in which an H+ is transferred. Does not have to take place in aqueous solution. Broader definition than Arrhenius. Acid is H+ donor; base is H+ acceptor. Since H+ is a proton, acid is a proton donor and base is a proton acceptor. Base structure must contain an atom with an unshared pair of electrons to bond to H+. In the reaction, the acid molecule gives an H+ to the base molecule. H–A + :B :A– + H–B+ Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

13
Amphoteric Substances
Amphoteric substances can act as either an acid or a base. They have both transferable H and an atom with a lone pair. HCl(aq) is acidic because HCl transfers an H+ to H2O, forming H3O+ ions. Water acts as base, accepting H+. HCl(aq) + H2O(l) → Cl–(aq) + H3O+(aq) NH3(aq) is basic because NH3 accepts an H+ from H2O, forming OH–(aq). Water acts as acid, donating H+. NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH–(aq) Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Conjugate Pairs In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, the original base becomes an acid in the reverse reaction, and the original acid becomes a base in the reverse process. Each reactant and the product it becomes is called a conjugate pair. The original base becomes the conjugate acid; the original acid becomes the conjugate base. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Example—Identify the Brønsted–Lowry Acids and Bases and Their Conjugates in the Reaction. H2SO H2O HSO4– + H3O+ When the H2SO4 becomes HSO4, it loses an H+, so H2SO4 must be the acid and HSO4 its conjugate base. When the H2O becomes H3O+, it accepts an H+, so H2O must be the base and H3O+ its conjugate acid.

HCO3– H2O H2CO3 + HO– When the HCO3 becomes H2CO3, it accepts an H+, so HCO3 must be the base and H2CO3 its conjugate acid. When the H2O becomes OH, it donates an H+, so H2O must be the acid and OH its conjugate base. HCO3– H2O H2CO3 + HO– Base Acid Conjugate Conjugate acid base Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

Neutralization Reactions
H+ + OH- H2O Acid + base salt + water Double-displacement reactions. Salt = cation from base + anion from acid. Cation and anion charges stay constant. H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 2 H2O Some neutralization reactions are gas evolving, where H2CO3 decomposes into CO2 and H2O. H2SO4 + 2 NaHCO3 → Na2SO4 + 2 H2O + 2 CO2 Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Titration Titration is a technique that uses reaction stoichiometry to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. Titrant (unknown solution) is added from a buret. Indicators are chemicals that are added to help determine when a reaction is complete. The endpoint of the titration occurs when the reaction is complete. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
21
Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Acid–Base Titration The base solution is the titrant in the buret. As the base is added to the acid, the H+ reacts with the OH– to form water. But there is still excess acid present, so the color does not change. At the titration’s endpoint, just enough base has been added to neutralize all the acid. At this point, the indicator changes color: [H+] = [OH–] Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

29
Degree of Ionization The extent to which an acid ionizes in water depends in part on the strength of the bond between the acid H+ and anion compared to the strength of the bond between the acid H+ and the O of water. HA(aq) + H2O(l) A−(aq) + H3O+(aq) Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
30
Relationship Between Strengths of Acids and Their Conjugate Bases
The stronger an acid is, the weaker the attraction of the ionizable H for the rest of the molecule is. The better the acid is at donating H, the worse its conjugate base will be at accepting an H. Strong acid HCl + H2O → Cl– + H3O+ Weak conjugate base Weak acid HF + H2O F– + H3O+ Strong conjugate base
31
Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Strong Bases The stronger the base, the more willing it is to accept H. Use water as the standard acid. Strong bases, practically all molecules are dissociated into OH– or accept Hs. Strong electrolyte. Multi-OH bases completely dissociated. [HO–] = [strong base] x (# OH). NaOH ® Na+ + OH- Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

34
Autoionization of Water
Water is actually an extremely weak electrolyte. Therefore, there must be a few ions present. About 1 out of every 10 million water molecules form ions through a process called autoionization. H2O Û H+ + OH– H2O + H2O Û H3O+ + OH– All aqueous solutions contain both H3O+ and OH–. The concentration of H3O+ and OH– are equal in water. [H3O+] = [OH–] = 1 x 10-7M at 25 °C in pure water. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
35
Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Ion Product of Water The product of the H3O+ and OH– concentrations is always the same number. The number is called the ion product of water and has the symbol Kw. [H3O+] x [OH–] = 1 x = Kw. As [H3O+] increases, the [OH–] must decrease so the product stays constant. Inversely proportional. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
36
Acidic and Basic Solutions
Neutral solutions have equal [H3O+] and [OH–]. [H3O+] = [OH–] = 1 x 10-7 Acidic solutions have a larger [H3O+] than [OH–]. [H3O+] > 1 x 10-7; [OH–] < 1 x 10-7 Basic solutions have a larger [OH–] than [H3O+]. [H3O+] < 1 x 10-7; [OH–] > 1 x 10-7 Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

Buffers Buffers are solutions that resist changing pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. They resist changing pH by neutralizing added acid or base. Buffers are made by mixing together a weak acid and its conjugate base. Or weak base and its conjugate acid. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
56
Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
How Buffers Work The weak acid present in the buffer mixture can neutralize added base. The conjugate base present in the buffer mixture can neutralize added acid. The net result is little to no change in the solution pH. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14

What Is Acid Rain? Natural rain water has a pH of 5.6. Naturally slightly acidic due mainly to CO2. Rain water with a pH lower than 5.6 is called acid rain. Acid rain is linked to damage in ecosystems and structures. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
60
Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
What Causes Acid Rain? Many natural and pollutant gases dissolved in the air are nonmetal oxides. CO2, SO2, NO2. Nonmetal oxides are acidic. CO2 + H2O H2CO3 2 SO2 + O2 + 2 H2O 2 H2SO4 Processes that produce nonmetal oxide gases as waste increase the acidity of the rain. Natural—volcanoes and some bacterial action. Man-made—combustion of fuel. Weather patterns may cause rain to be acidic in regions other than where the nonmetal oxide is produced. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
61
Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 14
Damage from Acid Rain Acids react with metals and materials that contain carbonates. Acid rain damages bridges, cars, and other metallic structures. Acid rain damages buildings and other structures made of limestone or cement. Acidifies lakes affecting aquatic life. Dissolves and leaches more minerals from soil. Making it difficult for trees.
