19.2 Hydrogen Ions and Acidity

Tap water .

Why? Tap water contains many ( )

Distilled water appears to conduct electricity, but it does – just a little, tiny bit.

H2O(l) + H2O(l) «

The reaction happens 0.0000002% in the direction and 99.9999998%

in the direction.

The equilibrium constant for the self ionization of water:

Keq = [H3O+1][OH-1]

don’t include

we call this constant Kw

At 25 C0, [H3O+1] = 1 x 10-7

so [OH-1] = 1 x 10-7

so Kw = 1 x 10-14

Example: If the [H3O+1] is 1 x 10-3M, then what is the [OH-1]?

Kw = [H3O+1][OH-1]

The solution is because the hydronium ion concentration is than

the hydroxide concentration.

Fill in the table below using: 1 x 10-14 = [H3O+1][OH-1]

Note: The concentration values are Normality values (more on this later).

Beaker # / [H3O+1] / [OH-1] / Acid or Base
1 / 1 x 10-5
2 / 1 x 10-2
3 / 2 x 10-4
4 / 4.16 x 10-6

Of course, all these numbers are confusing so…

pH =

Note: The concentration values are Normality values (more on this later).

pH stands for .

logs are functions of . For example, the log of 1000 is (like ) and the log of .01 is (like ).

Acid – Base scale(pH scale):

0------7------14

really it is from –2 to 16 since no acids/bases ever get more than 100 M solutions

All formulas to know:

Note: The concentration values are Normality values (more on this later).

Find pH / Find pOH / Find [H3O+1] / Find [OH-1]
pH = - log [H3O+1] / pOH = - log [OH-1] / [H3O+1] = Antilog -pH / [OH-1] = Antilog -pOH
pH = 14 – pOH / pOH = 14 – pH / [H3O+1] = 1 x10 –14 / [OH-1] / [OH-1] = 1 x10 –14 / [H3O +1]

19.2 Indicators

Indicators: dyes where the color depends on the amount of ion present. They

are used to show the of solutions.

Indicators are usually made up of .

the general formula is…

HIn « H+ + In-1

Color 1 Color 2

(acid color) (base color)

How do they work?

If the solution is basic solution (lot’s of ):

When an indicator is added, H+ from the indicator reacts with OH- to

make . Now, all the H+ on the right side is . Since the

equilibrium is disturbed (Le Chatelier), the reaction shifts to the .

This makes more . More means more color.

If the solution is acidic (lot’s of ):

When the indicator is added to the solution, the high amount of H+ causes

the equilibrium to shift . This makes more . More means more

like the color.

Indicators and colors to know: Phenolphthalein, Bromthymol Blue, Methyl Orange,

Litmus Paper

Indicators change over small ranges (Phenolphthalein changes 8.2 - 10.6)

Transition interval: pH range over which an indicator changes .

Choice of Indicators

There are three main types of titrations:

SA – SB SA-WB WA –WB

Type 1: indicator changes color, solution becomes neutral at the end point, and 1 drop

changes the pH significantly

Type 2: indicator changes color in the acid region – use methyl orange (3.2 to 4.4)

Type 3: indicator changes color in the base region – use phenolphthalein (8.2 to 10.6)

19.4 Acid Base Neutralization

Acid + Base à Salt + Water

Ex1: Write the molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations for the neutralization of

HCl with NaOH.

(total ionic) H3O+1(aq) + Cl-1(aq) + Na+1(aq) + OH-1(aq) à Na+1(aq) + Cl-1(aq) + 2H2O(l)

(net ionic) H3O+1(aq) + OH-1(aq) à 2H2O(l)

Note: getting a perfect match of H3O+1 and OH-1 is next to impossible, so most neutral solutions are slightly acidic or basic.

19.5 Salts in Solution

Hydrolysis: the reaction of a substance with .

Acids make solutions.

Bases make solutions.

Salts sometimes make solutions. However, they sometimes lead to

solutions.

NaC2H3O2(s) + H2O(l) à Na+1(aq) + C2H3O2-1(aq)

The sodium in sodium acetate is from the strong base .

Since NaOH is a strong base, there is no attraction of sodium ion for any

of the present. Hydroxide is present due to the self

ionization of :

H2O(l) + H2O(l) «

but….

The acetate in sodium acetate is from weak .

So, H+1 (from the self ionization of water) is attracted to the ion:

H+1(aq) + C2H3O2-1(aq) à HC2H3O2(aq)

Now, since there is less , the self-ionization of water reaction will shift

to the . H2O will self ionize creating more (which will also

get ) and more . The increase in makes the

ionization of :

H2O(l) + H2O(l) «

but….

The ammonium in ammonium chloride is from weak .

So, OH-1 (from the self ionization of water) is attracted to the ion:

NH4+1(aq) + OH-1(aq) à NH4OH(aq)

Now, since there is less , the self-ionization of water reaction will

shift to the . H2O will self ionize creating more (which will also get ) and more . The increase in ion makes the solution .

Ex3: Hydrolysis of the salt of a weak base and weak acid:

Now, since there is less , the self-ionization of water reaction will shift

to the . H2O will self ionize creating more (which will also

get ) and more . The increase in makes the
