Nomenclature
Bases
1.Most are ionic compounds that contain a metal cation and the hydroxide ion; named as ionic compounds
2.Ammonia, NH3+, is an exception
Binary Acids (Review)
1. Begins with prefix hydro- combined with the first element
2. Root of the second element follows
3. Add the suffix –ic to the end of the second element in place of the ending
6
Nomenclature
Oxyacids (Review)
1. Name is based on the polyatomic oxyanion
-ending is changed to –ic if polyatomic ends in –ate
-ending is changed to –ous if polyatomic ends in –ite
2. Add # hydrogens to front of name to cancel out the charge of polyatomic
General Notes:
1. any time hydrogen is the first element in a formula of a compound, the substance is an acid.
2. monoprotic acids contain only one acidic hydrogen.
3. polyprotic acids have more than one acidic hydrogen

Strength of Acids and Bases
Strong Acid
1. ionizes completely to form H+, H3O+ ions
2. strong electrolyte
3. depends on the polarity of H and the element its bonded to.
4. ex: HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HBr

12
Strength of Acids and Bases
Strong Bases

2. strong electrolyte
3. the higher the concentration of OH-, [OH-], the stronger the base
4. ex: metallic hydroxides, especially those of active
metals
NaOH (s) Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
alkaline: solution formed when a base completely dissociates in water to yield aqueous OH- ions
13

16
Acid/Base Theory
Why do acids and bases act the way they do and have these particular properties?
There are several theories to explain this.
Arrhenius
Svante Arrhenius (in 1883) was the first to come up with a model explaining acids and bases
Arrhenius model: states in an aqueous solution an
-acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes to produce hydrogen ions
HCl(g) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
17
Acid/Base Theory
Arrhenius
Arrhenius model: states in an aqueous solution an
-base is a substance that contains a hydroxide group and dissociates to produce a hydroxide ion
NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
This came from the idea that if acids and bases can produce electric current, they must form ions in solution.
Shortcoming: could not explain ammonia (NH3), which does not include a hydroxide group
18
A more inclusive model that would include ammonia was proposed:
Brønsted-Lowry Acids and BasesBrønsted-Lowry model, an acid is a hydrogen-ion (proton)
donor and a base is a hydrogen-ion (proton) acceptor -more inclusive, meaning not all Arrhenius acids and bases are also B-L acids and bases
HCl + NH3 NH4+ + Cl-
-the more H’s in an acid, the more that can be donated
19
When a Brønsted-Lowry acid donates a hydrogen ion, a conjugate base is formed.
When a Brønsted-Lowry base accepts a hydrogen ion, a conjugate acid is formed.
Two substances related to each other by the donating and accepting of a single hydrogen ion are a conjugate acid-base pair.
HCl + NH3 NH4+ + Cl-
acid base conj. acid conj. base
20
Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs
What are the conjugate acid-base pairs in the following?
acid base conj. acid conj. baseThere is a relationship between the strength of conjugate
acids and bases. -stronger acid weaker conjugate base stronger base weaker conjugate acid -proton transfer reactions favor the production of the weaker acid and weaker base •the reactants must be much stronger as an acid and base than the products
21
Water
Notice that when a base dissolves in water, CH3NH2 gains a proton from the H2O:
CH3NH2 (aq) + H2O (l) CH3NH3+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
base acid
Notice that when an acid dissolves in water, H2O gains a proton from the HCl :
HCl (aq) + H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
acid base
Water is amphoteric, meaning it can act as either an acid or a base.
22
Strength and Concentration
When talking about acids and bases, strength is different that concentration.
Concentration depends on the number of molecules of acid or base in a solution.
-use the terms dilute & concentrated
Strength refers to the degree of dissociation of ions.
-use the terms weak and strong
You can have:
-dilute solution of a strong acid or base
-concentrated solution of a weak acid or base.
-dilute solution of weak acid or base
-concentrated solution of strong acid or base
23
Strength and Equilibrium
Notice the arrow only points one way:
HCl (aq) + H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
-since strong acids ionize completely, essentially there is no reverse reaction
Notice the arrow points both ways:CH3COOH (aq) + H2O (l) ↔ H3O+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq)
-since weak acids do not ionize completely, the system is in equilibrium
equilbrium: when the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates and all reactant and products are present in the equlibrium mixture.

26
pH
Pure water has equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions.
-can sometimes act as an acid and sometimes as a
base
Self-ionization of Water
Acids and bases are not the only providers of OH- and H3O+; water also provides these ions, through self-ionization.
self-ionization of water: two water molecules produce a hydronium ion and a hydroxide ion by transfer of a proton
27
ionization constant of water (Kw): at given temperatures, water ionizes to form specific concentrations of OH- and H3O+.
-the mathematical constant is calculated by:
Kw = [OH-][ H3O+]
- Kw increases as temp increases but we use the value
at room temperature:
- Kw = 1.0 x 10-14 M2
because [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M and
[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-7 M at room temp
28
Neutral, Acidic, and Basic SolutionsIn water, [OH-] = [H+] because water is neutral If: [OH-] > [H+], the solution is basic [OH-] < [HO+], the solution is acidic
pH ScalepH: defined as the negative of the common logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration
pH = -log[H+] -stands for the French words, pouvoir hydrogene, meaning ‘hydrogen power’
29
In a neutral solution: [H+] =1.0 x 10-7 M (and [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M )
Ex: What is the pH of a neutral solution at 298K?pH = -log [H+] pH = -log[1.0 x 10-7]
= -[log 1 + log 10-7] = -[0 + (-7)] = -[-7] = 7.0 (sig figs = the number given with [H+])
30
pOH: defined as the negative of the common logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration
pH = -log[OH-]
Ex: What is the pOH of a neutral solution at 298K? pOH = -log(1.0 x 10-7) = -(-7.0) = 7.0
If you add the pH and pOH,
pH + pOH = 14
If you find one, you can subtract from 14 to get the other.
31
We now have the familiar pH scale (0-14):
If pH = 7, the solution is neutral
pH > 7, the solution is basic
pH < 7, the solution is acidic
Note: The pH of many weak acids and bases must be calculated experimentally because they do not ionize completely to form hydronium and hydroxide ions.
pH & pOH Practicep611 #19all, p 612 #20all
19. What is the pH of the following solutions?
a. [H+] = 1.0 x 10-2 M
b. [H+] = 3.0 x 10-6 M
c. [OH-] = 8.2 x 10-6 M
20. What is the pH and pOH of the following solutions?
a. [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-6 M
b. [OH-] = 6.5 x 10-4 M
c. [H+] = 3.6 x 10-9 M
d. [H+] = 0.025 M
32
We can also calculate [OH-] & [H+] from pH.
Ex: What are the [OH-] & [H+] in a healthy person’s blood
that has a pH of 7.40? Assume 298K.
Step 1: pH
pH = -log [H+] (the log is base 10)
-pH = log [H+] (multiply both sides by -1)
10-pH = [H+] (exponential form of log)
10-7.4 = [H+]
0.00000004 M = [H+]
4.0 x 10-8 M = [H+]
33
Step 2: pOH
We 1st must determine the pH
pH + pOH = 14.00, so pOH = 14.00 – pH
pOH = 14.00 – 7.40 = 6.60
Then,
pOH = -log [OH-] (the log is base 10)
-pOH = log [OH-] (multiply both sides by -1)
10-pOH = [OH-] (exponential form of log)
10-6.6 = [OH-]
0.000000251 M = [OH-]
2.51 x 10-7 M = [OH-]34
[H+] & [OH-] Practicep614 # 21 all
21. Calculate the [OH-] & [H+] in each solution.
a. pH = 2.37
b. pH = 11.05
c. pH = 6.50
35
36
Determining pH
There are several ways to determine pH:
1. Indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a solution.
-acid-base indicators: compounds whose colors are
sensitive to pH
♦either weak acids or weak bases
♦come in many different colors
♦exact pH range colors also changes
~transition interval: pH range over which an
indicator changes colors
37
2. pH paper is made from soaking the paper in several
indicators; also called litmus paper
-it can turn almost any color and is fairly accurate
-natural indicators include: tea, beet juice, carrot
juice, blueberry juice, boiling rose petals, red
cabbage juice
3. pH meter determines the pH of a solution by measuring the voltage between the two electrodes that are placed in the solution
-used when an exact number is needed
38

2. Match the following.
a. ____ pH = 7 i. [H3O+] > [OH-]
b. ____ pH < 7 ii. [H3O+] < [OH-]
c. ____ pH > 7 iii. [H3O+] = [OH-]
3. What is the concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions in pure water at 25oC?
4. Describe the meaning of pH.
5. What is the pOH if the pH = 5.2?
39
Neutralization Reactions
neutralization reaction: reaction in which an acid and a base react in aqueous solution to produce a salt and water.
-salt: ionic compound made up a cation from a base and an anion from an acid
-type of double displacement reaction
Ex: Mg(OH)2 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) MgCl2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
base acid salt
Neutralization Reactions Practicep 617 # 29ab
29. Write balanced chemical equations for the following
acid-base reactions:
a. nitric acid and cesium hydroxide
b. hydrobromic acid and calcium hydroxide
40
41
A neutralization reaction is carried out by doing a titration.
-titration: method for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting a known volume of solution with a known concentration of solution.
♦ex: unknown acid concentration of known volume
with a known concentration of base
They are carried out by:
1. Placing a pH meter in the solution of acid (known amount, unknown concentration)
2. Filling a buret with a base of known concentration.
3. The base is slowly added until an equivalence point is reached, reading the pH after each addition
42
equivalence point: stoichiometric point when the number of moles of H+ ions equals the number of moles of OH- ions.
- see p 619, Figure 19-17
-not all equivalence points are at a pH of 7
♦depends on the strength of the acid and base
Many times, chemists use a chemical dye (indicator) instead of a pH meter.
-the indicator changes color at the equivalence point, or end point
-see figure 19-18, p 619 for some indicators
