Strength of Acids Strong acid: an acid that dissociates completely in aqueous solution. They are considered strong electrolytes.
Examples: HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HBr Acids tend to produce H3O+ (Hydronium ion = Hydrogen ion) H3O+ is the same thing as H+
HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl-
HNO3 + H2O H3O+ + NO3-
H2SO4 + H2O H3O+ + HSO4-
HBr + H2O H3O+ + Br-

Strength of Acids Weak acid: an acid that does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution.
Examples: H3PO4, CH3COOH, H2CO3
H3PO4 + H2O ↔ H3O+ + H2PO4-
CH3COOH + H2O ↔ H3O+ + CH3COO-
H2CO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+ + HCO3-

Strength of Bases
Bases have a bitter taste and a slippery feel. Also known as “alkaline” Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) – drain cleaners Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) – baking soda Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) – ashes
![Page 7: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Strength of Bases Strong base: A base that completed
dissociates in water and yields aqueous OH- ions.
Weak bases: A base that does not produce a large number of hydroxide ions (does not dissociate completely).
Strong Bases Weak Bases
NaOH Na+ + OH- NH3 + H2O ↔ NH4+ + OH-

Acids and Bases
Strong acids and strong bases are considered strong electrolytes, because a large concentration of ions are produced.

Bronsted-Lowry: Acid and Bases In the Bronsted-Lowry definition, an acid is any chemical that donates a hydrogen ion, H+ (H3O+), and a base is any chemical that accepts a hydrogen ion.B.A.A.D - “Bases Accept, Acids Donate”
![Page 10: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Consider what happens when hydrochloric acid is mixed with water:
HCl donates a H+……resulting in a 3rd hydrogen
bonded to oxygen
Hydrogen ion
H3O+
HCl behaves as an acid (proton donor) and water behaves as a base (proton acceptor). Acids, when dissolved in water, release hydrogen ions.
![Page 11: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ammonia behaves as a base by accepting a H+ from water, which, in this case, behaves as an acid.
Hydroxide ion
Bases tend to increase the concentration of hydroxide ions.

Amphoteric Amphoteric: A substance that is capable of acting as either an acid or a base
It acts as a base when combined with something more strongly acidic than itself. It acts as an acid when combined with something more strongly basic than itself.
Water has the ability to react with itself.
![Page 15: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Keep in mind… Acid-base
interactions are almost seen as a behavior. For instance, water can behave as a base and as an acid.
An ammonium ion may donate a H+ back to OH- to reform ammonia and water.
![Page 16: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Forward and reverse acid-base reactions proceed simultaneously and can therefore be represented by the double arrow.
![Page 17: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Identify the acid or base behavior for each participant in the reaction:H2PO4 + H3O+ ↔ H3PO4 + H2O
Forward: H2PO4
- accepts a H+ to become H3PO4 H2PO4
- behaves as a base H3O+ donates a H+ to become H2O
H3O+ behaves as an acid

Identify the acid or base behavior for each participant in the reaction:H2PO4
- + H3O+ ↔ H3PO4 + H2O
Backwards: H3PO4 donates a H+ to become H2PO4

Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs
In any acid-base equilibrium (↔), it involves the transfer of H+.
An acid and a base that only differs in the presence or absence of a H+ are called a conjugate acid-base pair. Every acid has a conjugate base
For example: H2O (acids donate) can become OH-
Every base has a conjugate acid For example, H2O (bases accept) can become H3O+

Neutralization Reactions
Neutralization reactions occur between an acid and a base. These reactions often produce a salt, created from the positive ion of the base and the negative ion from the acid.

What is pH?
![Page 30: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What is pH?
In this reaction, a water molecule gains a H+ and the second water molecule must lose a H+.
In pure water, the number of H+ = the number of OH-
The concentration of H+ and OH- each is extremely low – about 1 x 10-7 M
![Page 31: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What is pH?
[H3O+][OH-] = Kw [1.0 x 10-7][1.0 x 10-7] = Kw 1.0 x 10-14 = Kw The dissociation constant of water, Kw, means that no matter WHAT is dissolved in water, the product of H+ and OH- always equals 1.0 x 10-14
![Page 32: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is pH?[H3O+][OH-] = Kw = 1.0 x
10-14
Pure Water
[1.0 x 10-7][1.0 x 10-7] = Kw = 1.0 x 10-14
HCl Added [1.0 x 10-5][1.0 x 10-9] = Kw = 1.0 x 10-14
If a small amount of HCl is added to water, it dissociates and increases the H+ from 1.0 x 10-7 to 1.0 x 10-5. Therefore, the OH- concentration decreases so that the product of H+ and OH- is still equal to Kw.
![Page 33: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sample Problem What is the concentration of H+ ions if the concentration of OH- ion is 1.0 x 10-3 M?
[H3O+][OH-] = Kw[H3O+][1.0 x 10-3 M] = 1.0 x 10-14 M[H3O+] =
[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-11 M

What is pH?
In an acidic solution, [H3O+] > [OH-]
In a basic solution, [H3O+] < [OH-]
In a neutral solution, [H3O+] = [OH-]
![Page 35: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
![Page 36: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Sample Problem
How does adding ammonia, NH3, to water make a basic solution when there are no hydroxide ions in the formula for ammonia?
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-
Ammonia increases the OH- concentration, thereby lowering the H+ concentration.
Because [H+] < [OH-], the solution is basic.
![Page 37: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What is pH?
The pH scale is a numeric scale used to describe acidity.
pH = -(log[H3O+])
Consider a neutral solution, [H+] = 1.0 x 10-7 M
pH = -(log [1.0 x 10-7])pH = -(-7)pH = 7
![Page 38: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What is pH? Acidic solutions have greater H+
concentrations, which lowers its pH.
Acidic solutions: pH < 7
Consider [H+] = 1.0 x 10-4 M
pH = -(log [H+])pH = -(log [1.0 x 10-4 M])
pH = -(-4)pH = 4
![Page 39: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

What is pH? Basic solutions have pH
values > 7, because its H+ concentrations are less.
Consider [H+] = 1.0 x 10-8 M
pH = -(log [H+])pH = -(log [1.0 x 10-8 M])
pH = -(-8)pH = 8

Rainwater is Acid & Ocean Water is Basic
![Page 43: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Rainwater is Acidic: pH 5-6
The source of this acidity is carbon dioxide, the same gas that gives fizz to soda pop. There are 760 billion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere that undergo this reaction:
CO2 (g) + H2O (l) H2CO3 (aq)Carbonic acid
Carbonic acid lowers the pH, accelerating the erosion of land and historical artifacts.
![Page 44: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

What is classified as ACID RAIN? Acid rain: rain that has a pH < 5.
Source: Airborne pollutants that are absorbed by atmospheric moisture, most commonly – sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide is readily convert to sulfur trioxide…
2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 SO3 (g) …which reacts with water to form sulfuric acid.
SO3 (g) + H2O (l) H2SO4 (aq) Acid rain affects vegetation and ecosystems.

Impact of Acid Rain: Midwest
Midwest: The ground contains calcium carbonate (basic), which often neutralizes the acid rain before much damage is done.
![Page 49: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Liming In order to rains the pH of acidified
lakes and rivers by adding calcium carbonate – a process called liming.
Long-term solution: Prevent the sulfur dioxide and other pollutants from entering the atmosphere in the first place. Shift fossil fuels to nuclear and solar
energy
![Page 50: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Impact of Acid Rain: Northeast
Northeast: The ground contains LITTLE CaCO3. The effect of acid rain on lakes and rivers accumulate.
![Page 51: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Buffer Solutions Resist Change in pH
![Page 52: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Buffer solution
Buffer solution: any solution that resists change in pH (1) neutralizes any added base (2) neutralizes any added acid
This does not mean that the pH remains unchanged, it just resists LARGE changes in pH
![Page 53: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Example of Buffers Blood: optimal pH of 7.35 to 7.45
Primary buffer system combines (1) carbonic acid and (2) sodium bicarbonate
Carbon dioxide in the blood stream reacts with water to produce carbonic acid
CO2 + H2O H2CO3 We fine-tune the levels of carbonic acid in our
blood by breathing!
![Page 54: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Aspirin overdose: Alkalosis Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is an acid
chemical that when taken in large amounts can overwhelm the blood buffering system, dropping the blood pH.
Symptom: Hyperventilate Exhaling at excessive rates is your body’s attempt
to lower the concentration of carbonic acid. Alkalosis: suddenly raising your blood pH can be
life-threatening Acidosis: (if the breathing rate is too slow)
suddenly lowering your blood pH (increased H3O+ concentration)
![Page 55: Unit 7: Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081420/568160df550346895dd00d92/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Alkalosis
If our breathing becomes too fast (hyperventilation)…
Carbon dioxide is removed from the blood too quickly.
This accelerates the rate of degradation of carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water.The lower level of carbonic acid encourages the combination of hydrogen ions andbicarbonate ions to make more carbonic acid. The final result is a fall in blood H1+
levels that raises blood pH which can result in over-excitability or death.

Acidosis
If breathing becomes too slow (hypoventilation)…
…free up acid, pH of blood drops, with associated health risks such as depressionof the central nervous system or death.
The normal pH of blood is between 7.2 – 7.4. This pH is maintained by the bicarbonate ion and other buffers.
