Connect pH numbers to what they represent.Practice converting pH values.
Evaluate strengths of acids & bases.
What is the chemical equation for this beaker of distilled water?
H2O + H2 ↔ H3O+ + OH- or
H2O ↔ H+ + OH-
DEMONSTRATIONForm water moleculesMove around roomDissociate & ressociate randomly
Equilibrium is a dynamic stateIt is rare for a hydrogen atom to leave the
stability of the water moleculeMore likely to happen if water is
heated or Influenced by other chemicals
Chemical EquilibriumIs the concentration of water the same as the
total concentration of H+ and OH-?No
What does it mean to be at equilibrium?The reaction is still flowing back and forth,
however, there is no net gain in either products or reactants
H2O ↔ H+ + OH-
Chemical EquilibriumCan an equation tend to one direction or the
other?Yes (usually in the direction of the products)
Which is in higher concentration in the beaker?
H2O or [H+ + OH- ]?H2O
pH ConcentrationHow do you write the concentration of pH value
3?H+ = 1 x 10-3
How do you write pH 3 as a decimal?0.001
How do you write pH 3 as a fraction?1/1,000
What does this mean?If you reach into the beaker you would find only one
dissociated H+ ion for every intact H2O molecules.
Calculate the ratio of dissociated to intact water molecules in a beaker of distilled water of pH 7 at 25CpH 7, concentration of hydrogen [H+] = 1 x
10-7
Which is [H+] = 1/10,000,000Which is one dissociated molecule of H2O for
every 10 million intact H2O molecules
What is the difference in hydrogen concentration between pH 5 and pH 2?
How are the concentrations of [H+] and [OH-] related?
What is the concentration of [OH-] if the pH is 3?
What is the concentration of [OH-] if the pH is 13?
Which of these two examples is more basic/alkaline?
Electronegativity & pHElectronegativity can reveal the strengths of
acids and basesIf a hydrogen atom is in a molecule with other
atoms that have a very strong ability to dominate the electrons, the the molecule will be polarized with hydrogen being stripped of its electron (think HCl)
If the hydrogen does not have much association with its electron, then it leaves the molecule to become an ion and the solution is said to be more acidic
QUESTIONSWhat is the difference between a strong
acid/base and a weak acid/base?A strong acid/base dissociates readily
Difference in electronegativity greaterA weak acid/base dissociates less readily
Minimal difference in electronegativity
Which acids/bases are weaker and which are stronger – HCl, NH3, H2CO3, NaOH?Strong – HCl and NaOHWeak –NH3 and H2CO3
