Weak Acids

In weak acids, The equilibrium

favors the undissociated (molecular) form of the acid.

The concentrations of the H3O+ and the anion (A–) are small.

In water, H+ is transferred from one H2O molecule to another.

10.8 Dissociation of Water

In pure water, the ionization of molecules produces small, but equal quantities of H3O+ and OH-

ions.H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH-

Molar concentrations are indicated as [H3O+] and [OH-].[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-7 M[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M

Pure Water is Neutral

Adding an acid to pure water increases the [H3O+].

In acids, [H3O+] exceeds 1.0 x 10–7 M.

As [H3O+] increases, [OH–] decreases.

Acidic Solutions

Adding a base to pure water increases the [OH–].

In bases, [OH–] exceeds 1.0 x 10–7M.

As [OH–] increases, [H3O+] decreases.

Basic Solutions

Comparison of [H3O+] and [OH–]

The ion product constant, Kw, for water is the product of the concentrations of the hydronium and hydroxide ions.

Kw = [H3O+][OH–] We can obtain the value of Kw using the

concentrations in pure water.

Kw = [1.0 x 10–7][1.0 x 10–7]

= 1.0 x 10–14

Ion Product of Water, Kw

Kw in Acids and Bases

In neutral, acidic, and basic solutions, the Kw is equal to 1.0 x 10–14.

What is the [H3O+] of a solution if [OH–] is 1.0 x 10-8

Rearrange the Kw expression for [H3O+ ].

Kw = [H3O+][OH–] = 1.0 x 10-14

[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14

[OH–]

[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14 = 1.0 x 10-6 M 1.0 x 10- 8

2) 1.0 x 10–11 M

Rearrange the Kw to solve for [OH–]

Kw = [H3O+ ][OH–] = 1.0 x 10–14

are less than 7. Indicates a neutral solution with a pH of 7. Indicates a basic solution when the values

are greater than 7.

Solution

Testing the pH of Solutions

The pH of solutions can be determined using a a) pH meter, b) pH paper, and c) indicators that have specific colors at different pHs.

pH is: Defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion

concentration.

pH = - log [H3O+]

The value of the negative exponent of [H3O+] for concentrations with a coefficient of 1.

[H3O+] = 1 x 10-4 pH = 4.0

[H3O+] = 1 x 10-11 pH = 11.0

pH Scale

A calculator can be used to find the pH of a

solution with a [H3O+] of 1 x 10-3 as follows. 1. Enter 1 x 10-3 by pressing 1 (EE) 3 (+/–). The EE key gives an exponent of 10 and the

+/– key changes the sign.2. Press the log key to obtain log 1 x 10-3. log (1 x 10-3) = –33. Press the +/– key to multiply by –1. (-3) +/– = 3

Calculations of pH

Significant Figures in pH

When expressing log values, the number of decimal places in the pH is equal to the number of significant figures in the coefficient of [H3O+].

[H3O+] = 1 x 10-4pH = 4.0

Some Salt Solutions are Neutral

A salt containing the ions of a strong acid and a strong base forms a neutral solution.

The metal ion does not produce H+ and the negative ion does not attract H+ from water.

For example, KNO3 contains ions from a strong base (KOH) and a strong acid (HNO3). A solution of KNO3 would be neutral.

Some Salt Solutions are Basic

A salt containing the ions of a weak acid and a strong base forms a basic solution.

The ion of the weak acid attracts H+ from water to form a basic solution.

For example, KHCO3 contains ions from a strong base (KOH) and a weak acid (H2CO3). A solution of KHCO3 is basic.

HCO3- + H2O H2CO3 + OH-

Some Salt Solutions are Acidic

A salt containing the ions of a strong acid and a weak base forms an acidic solution.

The ion of the weak base produces H+ in water to form an acidic solution.

For example, NH4Cl contains ions from a weak base (NH4OH) and a strong acid (HCl). A solution of NH4Cl is acidic.

NH4+ + H2O H3O+

10.16 Acidity and basicity of Salt Solution

Salt solutions can be neutral, acidic, or basic depending on ions present, because some ions react

with water to produce H3O+ and some other ions react with water to produce OH- ions.

The general rule for predicting acidity or basicity of a salt solution is that the stronger partner from which the salt was formed dominates:

A salt from strong acid and weak base will be acidic.

A salt from weak acid and strong base will be basic.

A salt from strong acid and strong base will be neutral.

When an acid or base is added to water, the pH changes drastically.

A buffer solution resists a change in pH when an acid or base is added.

10.12 Buffer Solutions

Buffers Absorb H3O+ or OH- from foods and

cellular processes to maintain pH. Are important in the proper functioning of

cells and blood. In blood maintain a pH close to 7.4. A

change in the pH of the blood affects the uptake of oxygen and cellular processes.

Buffers Animation

A buffer solution Typically has equal concentrations of a weak

acid and its salt. Or equal concentration of a weak base and its

salt . Contains a combination of acid-base conjugate

pairs. Contains a weak acid and a salt of the

conjugate base of that acid.

Components of a Buffer

The acetic acid/acetate buffer contains acetic acid (CH3COOH) and sodium acetate (CH3COONa).

The salt produces sodium and acetate ions.

CH3COONa CH3COO- + Na+

The salt provides a higher concentration of the conjugate base CH3COO- than the weak acid.

CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H3O+ Large amount Large amount

Buffer Action

The function of the weak acid is to neutralize a base. The acetate ion in the product adds to the available acetate.

CH3COOH + OH– CH3COO– + H2O

Function of the Weak Acid

The function of the acetate ion CH3COO- (conjugate base) is to neutralize H3O+ from acids. The weak acid product adds to the weak acid available.

CH3COO- + H3O+ CH3COOH + H2O

Function of the Conjugate Base

The weak acid in a buffer neutralizes base. The conjugate base in the buffer neutralizes acid. The pH of the solution is maintained.

Bronsted-Lowry bases: Any substance that is able to accept a hydrogen ion, H+, from an acid.

Chapter Summary Contd.

Conjugate acid-base pair: Two substances whose formula differ by only a hydrogen ion, H+.

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, water is both an acid and a base, property known as amphoteric.

Strong acid: An acid that gives up H+ easily and is essentially 100% dissociated (splits to produce H+ and an anion) in water.

Weak acid: An acid that gives up H+ with difficulty and is less than 100% dissociated in water.

Strong base: A base that has a high affinity for H+ and holds it tightly.

Weak base: A base that has only a slight affinity for H+ and holds it weakly.

The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base; the weaker the acid, the stronger its conjugate base.

Strong acids have ka value much greater than 1; Weak acids have ka value much less than 1.

Ion product constant for water, kw:

kw = ka[H2O] = [H3O+][OH-] = [1.00 x 10-7][1.00 x 10-7] = 1.00 x 10-14 at 25oC. Product of [H3O+] and [OH-] is a constant.

Therefore, in an acidic solution where [H3O+] is large and [OH-] must be small.

Chapter Summary Contd.Acidic solution: pH < 7 [H3O+ ] > 1.00 x 10-7 M

Neutral solution: pH = 7 [H3O+ ] = 1.00 x 10-7 M Basic solution: pH > 7 [H3O+ ] < 1.00 x 10-7 MBuffer: A combination of substances that act together to prevent a drastic change in pH.
