3Acids and Bases: Review

1830 - scientists have recognized that all acids contain hydrogen, but not all hydrogen bearing compounds are acids

Svante Arrhenius - linked acid behavior with the presence of an H+ and base behavior with the presence of an OH-

CHE116Prof. T. L. Heise

4Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Arrhenius’ definition is useful, but restricts acid base reactions to aqueous conditions

Johannes Bronsted and Thomas Lowry proposed a more general definition which involves the transfer of an H+ ion from one molecule to another

CHE116Prof. T. L. Heise

5Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

H+ ion is simply a proton with no surrounding valence electron.Small particle interacts strongly with the nonbonding pairs of

water molecules to form hydrated hydrogen ionschemists use H+ and H3O+ interchangeably

7Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Definitions:

Acid - any compound which transfers an H+ to another molecule

Base - any compound which accepts a transfer of an H+ from another molecule

* an acid and base always work together

CHE116Prof. T. L. Heise

8Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Definitions:

Amphoteric - some substances can be an acid or a base depending on reaction

Conjugate Acid Base pairs - two compounds that differ only in the presence of an H+. The molecule with the extra H is the acid.

20Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases:the more readily a substance donates an H+, the less readily it’s

conjugate base will accept one the more readily a substance accepts an H+, the less readily it’s

conjugate acid will donate onethe stronger one of the substances is, the weaker it’s conjugate

CHE116Prof. T. L. Heise

21Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases:strong acids completely transfer their protons to water, leaving no

undissociated molecules weak acids are those that only partly dissociate in aqueous

solution and therefore exist in the solution as a mixture of acid molecules and component ions

CHE116Prof. T. L. Heise

22Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases:negligible acids are those that have hydrogen but do not donate them

at all, their conjugate bases would be extremely strong, reacting with water to complete their octet and leaving OH- behind.

In every acid base reaction, the position of the equilibrium favors transfer of H+ from stronger side to weaker side

34The Autoionization of Water

One of the most important properties of water is its ability to ac as either a Bronsted acid or Bronsted base, depending on circumstances.One water molecule can donate a proton to another

water molecule Fig 16.10

CHE116Prof. T. L. Heise

35The Autoionization of Water

The autoionization of water, although rapid and weak, does exist as an equilibrium, and therefore has an equilibrium constant expression:

Keq = [H3O+][OH-] [H2O]2

* because water is a liquid, it can be excluded from the equation...

CHE116Prof. T. L. Heise

36The Autoionization of Water

Keq[H2O]2 = [H3O+][OH-]

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

* this equation is not only applicable to water, but to all aqueous solutions, and it is upon this fact that the pH scale was built.

p(anything) = - log[anything]

p(H) = -log[H+]

81Weak Acids

Most acids are weak acids and only partially dissociate in aqueous solution.

The extent to which a weak acid dissociates can be expressed using an equilibrium constant for the ionization reaction HX + H2O H3O+ + X- Ka = [H3O+][X-] [HX] *the larger the Ka the stronger the acid

Using Ka to calculate pH:

Using the value of Ka and knowing the initial concentration of the weak acid, we can calculate the concentration of H+(aq).
