Review • Acids are substances that: • taste sour. • react w/ bases to form salts and water. • are electrolytes. • turn blue litmus red. • produce H3O+1 ions in aqueous solution. • donate H+1 ions (protons).
Review • Bases are substances that: • taste bitter. • react w/ acids to form salts and water. • are electrolytes. • turn red litmus blue. • produce OH-1 ions in aqueous solutions. • accept H+1 ions (protons).
Autoionization • H2O + H2O H3O+1 + OH-1 • Extremely small Keq. • Keq = Kw = 1.0 x 10-14 • Only 0.00001% of H2O molecules autoionize. • In pure water, [H3O+1] = 1.0 x 10-7 Molar. • [OH-1] also equals 1.0 x 10-7 M. • Less than 2 H3O+1 and OH-1 ions per billion water molecules. • Since [H3O+1] = [OH-1], water is pH neutral. • Adding an acid or a base upsets this balance.

[H3O+1] and [OH-1] in Water • In any aqueous solution: • [H3O+1] [OH-1] = 1x10-14 • As [H3O+1] goes up, [OH-1] must decrease. • As [OH-1] goes up, [H3O+1] must decrease. • In other words, adding an acid to water causes the solution to become more acidic and less basic. • Adding a base to water causes the solution to become less acidic and more basic.
[H3O+1] and [OH-1] in Water • If [H3O+1] = 1x10-3 M, what is [OH-1]? • [H3O+1][OH-1] = 1x10-14 • (1x10-3 M)[OH-1] = 1x10-14 • [OH-1] = (1x10-14) / (1x10-3) • [OH-1] = 1x10-11 M • If [OH-1] = 1x10-8 M, what is [H3O+1]? • [H3O+1][OH-1] = 1x10-14 • [H3O+1](1x10-8 M) = 1x10-14 • [H3O+1] = (1x10-14) / (1x10-8 M) • [H3O+1] = 1x10-6 M
Acidity • Acidity • How much H3O+1 is dissolved in a sol’n. • Remember, acids increase [H3O+1] in solutions. • Acidity = pH.
pH • pH = power of Hydrogen • negative logarithmic (powers of ten) scale. • pH = -log10[H3O+1] • If [H3O+1] = 1x10-1 M, • pH = -log(1x10-1 M) = 1 • If [H3O+1] = 1x10-2 M, • pH = -log(1x10-2 M) = 2 • If [H3O+1] = 1x10-3 M, • pH = -log(1x10-3 M) = 3
A Few Words About Logarithms • The logarithm of a number is the power to which you would have to raise a base to equal that number. • Unless otherwise indicated, assume the base is 10. • log(100) = 2 • because 102 = 100 • log(1000) = 3 • because 103 = 1000 • log(0.001) = -3 • because 10-3 = 0.001 • log(0.000 001) = -6 • because 10-6 = 0.000 001
Why Use Logarithms At All? • The [H3O+1] and [OH-1] of an aqueous solution can vary by a very large degree. • [H3O+1] = 1 M for a very acidic soln • [H3O+1] = 1x10-7 M for a neutral soln • [H3O+1] = 1x10-14 M for a very basic soln • 1 M is ten million times greater than 1x10-7 M. • If you tried to plot both concentrations on the same graph, 1x10-7 M would barely register above zero. • If 1x10-7 M was 1 mm above the 0 mark, the axis would have to be ten kilometers (six miles) tall to show 1 M. • Logarithms allow us to compare numbers that are widely different by thinking of them as powers of ten.
This graph shows pH as a function of hydrogen ion concentration. It isn’t a very useful graph because it is hard to get accurate information for [H3O+1] below 1x10-3 M.
In this graph the x-axis is logarithmic. It allows a much greater range of data to be displayed in a readable format.
pH • Each unit decrease in pH is a 10-fold increase in acidity. • Imagine a soln with a pH of 5. • A soln with a pH of: • 4 is 10 times more acidic. • 3 is 100 times more acidic. • 2 is 1000 times more acidic. • 1 is 10,000 times more acidic. • 0 is 100,000 times more acidic.

pH and pOH • What are the pH values of the following solutions? • 1x10-1 M H3O+1 • pH = -log(1x10-1 M) = 1 • 1x10-3 M H3O+1 • pH = -log(1x10-3 M) = 3 • 1x10-5 M H3O+1 • pH = -log(1x10-5 M) = 5 • 1x10-1 M OH-1 • [H3O+1] = (1x10-14) / (1x10-1 M) = 1x10-13 M • pH = -log(1x10-13 M) = 13
[H3O+] and [OH-] • Given pH, you can calculate [H3O+1] and [OH-1]. • [H3O+1] = 10-pH • [H3O+1] [OH-1] = 1x10-14 • If pH = 2, • [H3O+1] = 1x10-2 M • [OH-1] = 1x10-12 M
