3 Definitions of Acids

Arrhenius: acids are substances which

produce H+ ions in water.

Brønsted-Lowry: acids are substances

which donate H+ ions to other

substances.

Lewis: acids are substances which

accept electron pairs from other

substances.

3 Definitions of Bases

Arrhenius: Bases are substances that

produce OH- ions in water.

Brønsted-Lowry: Bases are substances

that accept H+ ions from other

substances.

Lewis: Bases are substances that

donate a pair of electrons to another

substance.

II. pH

A. Ionization of Water

H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH-

Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 10-14

A. Ionization of Water

Find the hydroxide ion concentration of

3.0 10-2 M HCl.

[H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 10-14

[3.0 10-2][OH-] = 1.0 10-14

[OH-] = 3.3 10-13 M

Acidic or basic? Acidic

III. Titration

Unit 14- Acids & Bases

A. Neutralization

Chemical reaction between an acid and

a base.

Products are a salt (ionic compound)

and water.

Acid-Base Titrations

A titration is a volumetric technique

often involving acid-base

neutralizations.

It often involves reacting one solution

of known concentration, with another

of unknown concentration.

Let’s take a look at how a titration is

performed.

Then we’ll look at calculations.

Equivalence point (endpoint)

• Point at which equal

amounts of H3O+ and OH-

have been added.

• Determined by…

• indicator color change

B. Titration

• dramatic change in pH

B. Titration

MVn = MVn

M: Molarity

V: volume

n: # of H+ ions in the acidor OH- ions in the base

B. Titration

42.5 mL of 1.3M KOH are required to

neutralize 50.0 mL of H2SO4. Find the

molarity of H2SO4.
