Acids release H+ in solutionBases release OH- in solution.Examples: HCl H+ + Cl-
NaOH Na+ + OH-
Arrhenius Definition
Acids Acids & & BasesBases
3
• Arrhenius definition of acids and bases has limitations.
• It only applies to aqueous solutions.
• Bronsted and Lowry proposed a definition based on acid base reactions transferring H+ ion from one substance to another.
4
• H+ ions are bare protons
• H+ will react strongly with the nonbonding pair of electrons in a water molecule to form: Hydronium ion (H3O+).
5
Often times use of the H+ or H3O+ are used interchangeably to represent acid solutions
• HCl H+ + Cl-
• HCl(g) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl-
(aq)
6
Acids are proton donors
Bases are proton acceptors.Example:
HBr + H2O H3O+ + Br-
The Bronsted Definition
A B
7
• An acid and a base always work together to transfer a proton.
• Bronsted acids must have an H+ to transfer.
• Bronsted base must have a nonbonding pair of electrons that can bind with H+.
8
Substances may act as an acid or a base
HCl(g) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl-
(aq)
NH3(aq)+H2O(l)NH4+
(aq)+ OH-(aq)
In the 1st reaction above water accepts a proton (Bronsted base).
Rx 2, it donates a proton (Bronsted acid)
Amphoteric substances
9
• Acid base equilibrium: – both the forward and reverse
reactions involve proton transfer.
HX + H2O X- + H3O+
Forward: HX is acid/ H2O is the base
Reverse: H3O+ acid/ X- is base
10
HX + H2O X- + H3O
• An acid and a base that differ only in the presence or absence of H+ are called a Conjugate acid-base Pair.
• Every acid has a conjugate base.
• Every base has a conjugate acid.– HX is the conjugate acid of X-
– H3O is the conjugate acid of H2O
11
Example:Identify Bronsted acid & base; also The conjugate acid and base.
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-
AB CA CB
NH3 acts as a Bronsted base by accepting a proton.
Water acts as a Bronsted acid by donating a proton.
12
Example:
Write the formula of the conjugate base of H2SO4 in aqueous solution.
HSO4-
H2SO4 + H2O HSO4- + H3O+
13
Example : Consider the reaction
HSO4- + HCO3

15
Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis baseIn each of the following reactions:
a) SnCl4(s)+ 2Cl-(aq) SnCl6
2-(aq)
b) Hg2+(aq)+ 4CN- Hg(CN)4
2-(aq)
a)SnCl4 accepts 2 pair of e- from Cl- (Lewis acid) /Cl- is Lewis base.
b) Hg2+ accepts 4 pair of e- (Lewis Acid)
16
Lewis system defines acids and bases without a solvent.
Bronsted system defines acids and bases in solvents other than water.
Arrhenius defines acids and bases in water.
Summary of Definitions
17
Acid and Base StrengthAcid and Base Strength
• Strong acids completely transfer their protons to water (completely completely ionized).ionized).
• Weak acids are those that only partially dissociate in aqueous solution.
18
Know the following STRONG bases:
All hydroxides of the alkali & alkaline earth metals (except Be)

23
Weak makes strong &
strong makes weak
The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base.
The stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate acid.
24
• Substance with negligible acidity (CH4) contain hydrogen but show no acidic behavior in water.
• The conjugate bases are strong bases reacting with water completely and forming OH- ions.
25
• When the acid is a stronger acid than H3O+, the equilibrium lies to the right.
HCl + H2OH3O+ + Cl-
When H3O+ is the stronger acid, the equilibrium lies to the left.
HC2H3O2 + H2OH3O+ + C2H3O2-
26
In all Acid-base reactions, the equilibrium favors the transfer of the proton from the stronger acid
to the stronger base.
• Which direction is favored:a. PO4
3-(aq) + H2O(l) HPO4
2-(aq)+ OH-
(aq)
b. NH4+
(aq)+ OH- NH3(aq)+ H2O(l)
a. Left b. right
27
Example :
The strengths of the following acids increase in the order HCN < HF < HNO3. Arrange the conjugate bases of these acids in order of increasing base strength.
CN- > F- > NO3-
28
• Water can act as a Bronsted acid(donate proton) or base (accept proton) depending on the environment.
• One water can donate a proton to another water molecule, this is the autoionization of water.
29
Autoionization is a rapid equilibrium process.
• The equilibrium constant expression:

OH
OHOHKc
H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH-
30
• For pure water [H2O] is a constant. We rearrange the equation with two constants on the left and define a new constant:
• Kw (ion product constant of H2O)
Kw=[H3O+][OH-]=[H+][OH-]
Kw= 1.0 x 10-14 at 25ºC
31
• When [H+]=[OH-] the solution is neutral.
• When the concentration of one increases the other decreases, the product of the 2 equals 1.0 x 10-14 at 25ºC.
• [H+]>[OH-]the solution is acidic
• [H+]<[OH-]the solution is basic
32
Arrhenius:
H2O(l) H+(aq) + OH-
(aq)
Kw = [H+][OH-]
The Amphoteric Property of Water
33
Bronsted: H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+
(aq) + OH-(aq)
Kw = [H3O+][OH-]
The Amphoteric Property of Water
34
Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14
The Ion Product Constant of Water
At equilibrium [H+] = [OH-] = 1.0x10-7 M.
35
Common way to express [H+]The negative logarithm of the
hydrogen ion concentration in mol/L (M).
pH = -log[H+]
pH
36
• pH decrease as [H+] increases.
• pH of a neutral solution– pH= -log (1.0x10-7) = -(-7.0)= 7.0
• What is the pH of a solution with [OH-]=3.0 x 10-4?

[H+] means that H+ were released into the solution making it acidic.
[OH-] means that OH- were released into the solution making it basic.

nonbonding pair of electrons. Most of these bases contain N,
these are called amines.
109
2. Second category is composed of anions of weak acids.
NaClO in aqueous solution: Na+ + ClO-
In an acid base reaction, the Na+ is a spectator ion.
The ClO- is the conjugate base of a weak acid. (ClO- acts as a weak base)

Hydrolysis
• Many ions react with water to form H+ or OH-
• This reaction is hydrolysis.• The anions from weak acids react
with water to form OH-.• Conjugate base is strong.
C2H3O2-+H2O(l) HC2H3O2 + OH-
121
• The anion of a strong acid (NO3-)
forms a weak conjugate base.–It does not react with water and
does not affect pH.
• Anions with an ionizable proton (HPO4
2-) are amphoteric.–Reaction with water will be
determined by relative Ka and Kb.
122

• Ka x Kb = Kw

Ka (H2PO4-)= 6.2x 10-8

124
• Cations of alkali metal and alkaline earth metals do not hydrolyze in water.
• They do not influence pH.• The pH of a salt solution can be
qualitatively predicted by considering the cation and anion composing the salt.
125

derived from.

Example 2: Predict whether the following aqueous solutions will be acidic, basic, or neutral:
KINH4IKC2H3O2
(answers: neutral, acid, base)
137
138
• When substances are placed in water some act as acids, some as bases, and others are neutral.
• Structure of the compound plays a role in the behaviors.
139
Acid StrengthAcid strength of binary acids depends on:
1) Polarity of the bond (P = acidity) H X
2) Strength of the bond Strong bonds are more difficult to
break than weak bonds.(strength= acidity)
This explains why the very polar HF is a weak acid.
3) Stability of conjugate base (X-)
140
Binary versus Oxyacids
Example: HCl HClO3
141
• The strength of the HX bond is usually the determining factor of acid strength when the X is from the same group in the periodic table.– Strength of the bond decreases as the
element (X) increases in size – acidity with radius
–HI > HBr > HCl
142
• Bond strength changes much less across a period.
• Bond polarity becomes the determining factor for binary acids in the same row.
• Acidity increases with increasing electronegativity across a row.– Acidity increase left to right.
143
Which is stronger?HCl or HFHCl or HBrHCl or H2SCH4, NH3 ,H2O ,or HF
144
Contain 1 or more O-H bonds
One or more OH groups or additional oxygen atoms are bonded to the central atom.
145
• Acid strength of oxyacids acids depends on the central atom
1) If the oxyacid has the same number of O atoms and the same number of OH groups; strength increases with increasing electronegativity of the central atom.
2) Oxyacids with same central atomAcid strength increases as the number of
O atoms attached to central atom increases.
146
Example:
Which is stronger?HClO4 or HBrO4
HClO4 or HClO3
HClO4
HClO4
147
• Contain carboxyl groups–COOH
• Strength of carboxylic acids increase as the number of electronegative atoms in the acid increases.
148
• Carboxylic acids are the largest group of organic acids.
• Acetic acid is a carboxylic acid–HC2H3O2 (CH3COOH)
• Which is the stronger acid–CF3COOH or HC2H3O2

Hydrolysis of Metal Ions• The Lewis concept helps explain why
some metal ions display acidic properties in solution.
• Positively charged metal ions attract unshared electrons pairs in water molecules.– This attraction is what causes hydrolysis,
dissolving of salts.
158
• Water molecules bound to the metal ion are more acidic than those in the solution.
• This effect usually has increasing acidity (Ka hydrolysis) with increasing charge of the metal ion and decreasing radius of the ion.
