Properties of Acids • Produce H+ (as H3O+) ions in water (the hydronium ion is a hydrogen ion attached to a water molecule) • Taste sour • Corrode metals • Good Electrolytes • React with bases to form a salt and water • pH is less than 7 • Turns blue litmus paper to red “Blue to Red A-CID”
Properties of Bases • Generally produce OH- ions in water • Taste bitter, chalky • Are electrolytes • Feel soapy, slippery • React with acids to form salts and water • pH greater than 7 • Turns red litmus paper to blue “BasicBlue”
Naming Acids Binary Acid – An acid that contains only two elements, one of which is hydrogen and one which is more electronegative. • HF – Hydrofluoric acid • HCl – Hydrochloric acid • Oxyacid – An acid that has hydrogen, oxygen, and a third element that is usually a non-metal • HClO4 – Perchloric acid • HNO2 – Nitrous acid • H2CO3 – Carbonic acid
Arrhenius Definition Acid - Substances in water that increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). Base - Substances in water that increase concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-). Problem – many bases do not actually contain hydroxides
Bronsted-Lowry Definition Acid - neutral molecule, anion, or cation that donates a proton. Base - neutral molecule, anion, or cation that accepts a proton. HA + :B HB+ + :A- HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl- Acid Base Conj Acid Conj Base
Conjugate Acid Base Pairs • Conjugate Base - The species remaining after an acid has transferred its proton. • Conjugate Acid - The species produced after base has accepted a proton. • HA & :A- - conjugate acid/base pair • :A- - conjugate base of acid HA • :B & HB+ - conjugate acid/base pair • HB+ - conjugate acid of base :B
Examples of Bronsted-Lowry Acid Base Systems • Note: Water can act as acid or base • Acid Base Conjugate AcidConjugate Base • HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl- • H2PO4- + H2O H3O+ +HPO42- • NH4+ + H2O H3O+ + NH3 • Base Acid Conjugate AcidConjugate Base :NH3 + H2O NH4++ OH- • PO43- + H2O HPO42- + OH-
Diprotic and Triprotic Acids (Polyprotic) Sulfuric Acid can donate two protons per molecule Phosphoric acid can donate three protons per molecule • H3PO4 + H2O H3O+ + H2PO4- • H2PO4- +H2O H3O+ + HPO42- • HPO42- +H2O H3O+ + PO43-
G.N. Lewis Definition • Lewis • Acid - an electron pair acceptor • Base - an electron pair donor
Common Strong Acids/Bases Strong Acids Hydrochloric Acid Nitric Acid Sulfuric Acid Perchloric Acid Strong Bases Sodium Hydroxide Potassium Hydroxide *Barium Hydroxide *Calcium Hydroxide *While strong bases they are not very soluble
Acid Strength • As acid strength decreases, base strength increases • The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base • The weaker the acid, the stronger its conjugate base
Base Strength • As base strength decreases, acid strength increases • The stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate acid • The weaker the base, the stronger its conjugate acid
Salts & Neutralization • A salt is the neutralization product of an acid and a base. • The anion comes from the acid and the cation from the base. • Examples HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O. H2SO4 + 2 KOH K2SO4 + H2O.
The pH Scale pH [H3O+ ] [OH- ] pOH
pH and acidity • Acidity or Acid Strength depends on Hydronium Ion Concentration [H3O+] • The pH system is a logarithmic representation of the Hydrogen Ion concentration (or OH-) as a means of avoiding using large numbers and powers. pH = - log [H3O+] pOH = - log [OH-] 3. What is the pH of a solution if the [H3O+] is 3.4 x 10-5 M? pH = -log [H3O+] = -log(3.4 x 10-5) = 4.47
pH and acidity Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1.0 x10-14 In pure water [H3O+] = [OH-]= 1.0 x10-7 pH + pOH = 14
pH and acidity The pH values of several common substances are shown at the right. Many common foods are weak acids Some medicines and many household cleaners are bases.
