Arrhenius Acids and Bases Acid produces H3O+ in water Basegives OH– Acid-base neutralization • Acid and base combine to produce water and a salt. e.g. HCl(aq)+ NaOH(aq) H2O + NaCl(aq) H3O+(aq) + Cl–(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH–(aq) 2H2O + Cl–(aq) + Na+(aq) • Many reactions resemble this without forming H3O+ or OH– in solution
Gas Phase Acid-Base • Not covered by Arrhenius definition e.g. NH3(g) + HCl(g) NH4Cl(s)
Brønsted-Lowry Definition • Acid = proton donor • Base = proton acceptor • Allows for gas phase acid-base reactions e.g. HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl– • HCl = acid • Donates H+ • Water = base • Accepts H+
Conjugate Acid-Base Pair • Species that differ by H+ e.g. HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl– • HCl = acid • Water = base • H3O+ • Conjugate acid of H2O • Cl– • Conjugate base of HCl
Formic Acid is Bronsted Acid • Formic acid (HCHO2) is a weak acid • Must consider equilibrium • HCHO2(aq) + H2O CHO2–(aq) + H3O+(aq) • Focus on forward reaction

Strengths of Acids and Bases Strength of Acid • Measure of its ability to transfer H+ • Strongacids • React completely with water e.g.HCl and HNO3 • Weak acids • Less than completely ionized e.g.CH3COOH and CHOOH Strength of Baseclassified in similar fashion: • Strong bases • React completely with water e.g.Oxide ion (O2–) and OH– • Weak bases • Undergo incomplete reactions e.g.NH3 and NRH2 (NH2CH3, methylamine)
Reactions of Strong Acids and Bases In water • Strongest acid= hydronium ion, H3O+ • If more powerful H+ donor added to H2O • Reacts with H2O to produce H3O+ Similarly, • Strongest baseis hydroxide ion (OH–) • More powerful H+ acceptors • React with H2O to produce OH–

Trends in Binary Acid Strength Binary Acids = HnX X = Cl, Br, P, As, S, Se, etc. • Acid strength increases from left to right within same period (across row) • Acid strength increases as electronegativity of Xincreases e.g. HCl is stronger acid than H2S which is stronger acid than PH3 • or PH3 < H2S < HCl
Trends in Binary Acid Strength Binary Acids = HnX X = Cl, Br, P, As, S, Se, etc. 2. Acid strength increase from top to bottom within group • Acid strength increases as size of Xand bond length increases e.g. HCl is weaker acid than HBr which is weaker acid than HI • or HCl < HBr < HI

Trends in Oxoacid Strength Oxoacids (HnX Om) • Acids of H, O, and one other element • HClO, HIO4, H2SO3, H2SO4, etc. • Acids with same number of oxygen atoms and differing X • Acid strength increasesfrom bottom to top within group • HIO4 < HBrO4 < HClO4 • Acid strength increases from left to right within period as the electronegativity of the central atom increases H3PO4 < H2SO4 < HClO4
Trends in Oxoacid Strength Oxoacids (HnXOm) • For same X • Acid strength increases with number of oxygen atoms • H2SO3 < H2SO4 • More oxygens, remove more electron density from central atom, weakening O—H bond make H more acidic

Alternate Definition of Acid Strength • Acid strength can be analyzed in terms of basicity of anion formed during ionization • Basicity • Willingness of anion to accept H+ from H3O+ • Consider HClO3 and HClO4:
Comparing Basicity • Lone oxygens carry most of the negative charge • ClO4– has 4 O atoms, so each has –¼ charge • ClO3– has 3 O atoms, so each has –1/3 charge • ClO4–weaker base than ClO3– • Thus conjugate acid, HClO4, is stronger acid • HClO4 stronger acid as more fully ionized
Learning Check • Arrange the following in order of increasing acid strength: • HBr, AsH3, H2Se • AsH3 < H2Se < HBr • H2SeO4, H2SO4, H2TeO4 • H2TeO4 < H2SeO4 < H2SO4 • HBrO3, HBrO, HBrO4, HBrO2 • HBrO < HBrO2 < HBrO3 < HBrO4
Strength of Organic Acids • Organic acid —COOH • Presence of electronegative atoms (halide, nitrogen or other oxygen) near —COOH group • Withdraws electron density from O—H bond • Makes organic acid, stronger acids e.g.CH3CO2H < CH2ClCO2H < CHCl2CO2H < CCl3CO2H

Hydrated Metal Ions Can Act as Weak Acids • Electron deficiency of metal cations causes them to induce electron density towards metal from water of hydration • Higher charge density = more acidic metal • Acidity increases left to right across period • Acidity decreases top to bottom down group
Acidity of Hydrated Metal Ions • Degree to which M(H2O)mn+ produces acidic solutions depends on • Charge on cation • Cation's size 1. As charge increases on Mn+, acidity increases • Increases metal ion’s ability to draw electron density to itself and away from O—H bond
Acidity of Hydrated Metal Ions 2. As size of cation decreases, acidity increases • Smaller, more concentrated charge • Means greater pull of electron density from O—H bond • Net result • Very small, highly charged cations are very acidic [Al(H2O)6]3+(aq) + H2O [Al(H2O)5(OH)]2+(aq) + H3O+(aq)
