Arrhenius Acids and Bases Acid produces H3O+ in water

Base gives OH–

Acid-base neutralization Acid and base combine to produce water

and a salt.e.g. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2O + NaCl(aq)

H3O+(aq) + Cl–(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH–(aq)

2H2O + Cl–(aq) + Na+

(aq) Many reactions resemble this without

forming H3O+ or OH– in solution2

electronegativity of X increases e.g. HCl is stronger acid than H2S which

is stronger acid than PH3

Comparing Basicity

Lone oxygens carry most of the negative charge ClO4

– has 4 O atoms, so each has –¼ charge

ClO3– has 3 O atoms, so each has –1/3 charge

ClO4– weaker base than ClO3

– Thus conjugate acid, HClO4, is stronger acid

HClO4 stronger acid as more fully ionized

Essentially no tendency to lose H+ Alkoxide ions very strong bases

React with water to form alcohol and OH– C2H5O– + H2O C2H5OH + OH–

Sol-Gel Process Gradually add water to alcohol solution

of alkoxide salts Alkoxide ions gradually replaced by OH–

ionsHydrolysis reactionZr(C2H5O)4 + H2O Zr(C2H5O)3OH +

C2H5OH When two Zr(C2H5O)3OH encounter each

other, they undergo an acid-base reaction and lose H2O

Sol-Gel Process As more H2O is added:

More alkoxide ions converted to alcohols Form more oxide linkages bridging Zr ions Result is very fine particles of metal oxides with

residual OH ions suspended in alcohol (gel-like) Sol-gel used in various ways

1.Dip coated on surface yields thin film ceramics2.Cast into mold produces semisolid gelatin-like

material = wet gel Dry wet gel by evaporation gives porous gel =

xerogel Heating xerogel yields dense ceramic or glass

with uniform structure59

Sol-Gel Process Sol-gel used in various

ways3. Remove solvent from wet gel

at temperature above critical temperature of solvent yields very porous and extremely low density solid = aerogel

4. Adjust viscosity of gel suspension and spinning yields ceramic fibers

5. Precipitation of sol-gels yields ultrafine and uniform ceramic powders
