Electrolyte and the theory of electrolytic Dissociation • Electrolytes • conduct the electric current • mineral acid, caustic alkalies and salts • non–electrolytes • non–conducting solutions • cane sugar, glycerin and ethyl acetate.
Acid–Base Titration • Pure water is a bad conductor of electricity • acid as HCl H+ Cl- • base as KOH K+ OH- • salt as Na2SO4 Na+ SO42- • Molecule Dissociation ions Dissolved in water
Strong and weak electrolytes • NaCl ⇌ Na+ + Cl– • K2SO4 ⇌ 2K+ + SO42– • Na2HPO4 ⇌ 2Na+ + H+ + PO43 • Arrhenius therefore introduced a quantity "a", called "the degree of dissociation“ • "a“ = 1 "strong electrolyte“ • “a” very far from unity.= weak electrolyte
Law of mass action • "The rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the active masses of the reacting substances." diluted solution concentration
Law of mass action • Vf = [A].[B]. Kf • Vb = [C]. [D]. Kb • Kf [A]. [B] = Kb [C]. [D] "equilibrium constant"
The dissociation of water • H2O ⇌ H+ + OH– • [H+] . [OH] = Kw………..(2) • "The ionic product of water"
The dissociation of water • 25oC; the value of Kw [H+] . [OH] = 1014 [H+]2 = Kw = 1 x 1014 ………(3)
Hydrogen ion exponent (pH): [H+] 10–6, 10–51 x 10710–8 , 10–9 Acid base Neutral
Procedure for Titration • pH is defined as equal to the logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration with a negative sign. pH = –log [H+]

p pKw = pH + pOH pH = pKw – pOH or pH = 14 – pOH or pOH = 14 – pH
Acids and bases: • Arrhenius theory • Acid [H+] • when dissolved in water • Bases, [OH–]
pH calculations 1. Solution of strong acids and strong bases [H+] or [OH–] =concentration
Example 1 • Calculate the pH value of a solution of a completely ionised 1.0 N solution of acid; or base. ? • Solution: [H+] = 1M pH = –log 1 = 0 (zero) similarly, in a completely ionised 1.0 N solution of base [OH–] = 1 M pOH = –log 1 = 0 (zero)
Example 2 Calculate the [H+] and pH of 0.009 N hydrochloric acid? solution [H+] = 0.009 N pH =– log (9.0 X 10–3) = – log 9.0 – log 10–3 pH = – 0.95 + 3.00 = 2.05
Example 3 • Calculate the pH values of a solution of sodium hydroxide whose [OH–] is 1.05 x 10–3? solution pOH = – (log 1.05 + log 10–3) pOH = – (0.02 –3 ) = 2.98 pH = 14 – 2.98 = 11.02
Example 4 • Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution of pH 5.3? solution pH = – log [H+] 5.3 = –log [H+] [H+] = 5.01 x 10–6 M
Example 5 • Calculate the hydroxyl ion concentration of a solution of pH 10.75 ? solution pOH = 14 – 10.75 = 3.25 [OH–] = the antilog of –3.25 [OH–] = 5.62 x 10–4 M
pH calculations • 2. Solution of weak acids and bases • A) Calculation of pH of solution of weak acids pH = ½ (pKa + pCa)
B) Calculation of pH of solution of weak bases: pH = pKw – ½ (pKb + pCb)
pH of salts • A) Salts of strong acids or bases KCl K+ + Cl- K+ + OH- ⇌ KOH Cl- + H+ ⇌ HCl The equilibrium between the hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in water H2O ⇌ H+ + OH–
B) Salts of weak acids or bases (hydrolysis) • Salts of weak acids (or bases) react with water to give basic (or acidic) solutions • Hydrolysis reverse of neutralization
i) Salts of weak acids and strong bases: H2O + CH3COO ⇌ CH3COOH + OH • pH = ½ (pKw – pCa + pKa)
ii) Salts of weak bases and strong acids: NH4+ + H2O ⇌ NH4OH + H+ pH = ½ (pKw + pCs – pKb)
iii) Salts of weak acids and weak bases: pH = ½ pKw + ½ pKa – ½pKb
Buffer solutions • Resist changes in pH caused by addition of small amounts of acid or base; or upon dilution.
