pH indicators pH indicators are valuable tool for
determining if a substance is an acid or a base.
The indicator will change colors in solution.
Things to use… pH meter will indicate the numeric
value of acid or base based on the pH range
Chemical indicators: phenolphthalein, universal indicator…
Natural indicators: poinsettia, red cabbage juice…
Properties of Acids and Bases ACIDS
Have a sour taste Change the color
of many indicators Are corrosive
(react with metals)
Neutralize bases Conduct an
electric current
BASES Have a bitter taste Change the color
of many indicators Have a slippery
feeling Neutralize acids Conduct an
electric current
Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases:
an acid contains hydrogen and ionizes in solutions to produce H+ ions:
HCl H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases:
a base contains an OH- group and ionizes in solutions to produce OH- ions:
NaOH Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Neutralization Neutralization: the combination
of H+ with OH- to form water.
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O (l)
Hydrogen ions (H+) in solution form hydronium ions (H3O+)
Commentary on Arrhenius Theory…
One problem with the Arrhenius theory is that it’s not comprehensive enough. Some compounds act like acids and bases that don’t fit the standard definition.
Bronsted-Lowry Theory of Acids & Bases:
An acid is a proton (H+) donor
A base is a proton (H+) acceptor
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+ (aq) + OH-
(aq)
BASE
ACID
CONJUGATE ACID
CONJUGATE BASE
Ammonia is a proton acceptor, and thus a
base
another example…
Water is a proton donor, and thus an
acid.
Amphoteric Substances
A substance that can act as both an acid and a base (depending on what it is reacting with) is termed amphoteric.
Water is a prime example.
Conjugate acid-base pairs
Conjugate acid-base pairs differ by one proton (H+)
A conjugate acid is the particle formed when a base gains a proton.
A conjugate base is the particle that remains when an acid gives off a proton.
Examples: In the following reactions, label the conjugate acid-base pairs:
H3PO4 + NO2- HNO2 + H2PO4
-
CN- + HCO3- HCN + CO3
2-
HCN + SO32- HSO3
- + CN-
H2O + HF F- + H3O+

Theory Acid Definition Base Definition
Arrhenius Theory

Strength of Acids and Bases
A strong acid dissociates completely in sol’n: HCl H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
A weak acid dissociates only partly in sol’n: HNO2 H+(aq) + NO2
-(aq)
A strong base dissociates completely in sol’n: NaOH Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
A weak base dissociates only partly in sol’n: NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4
+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Acid-Base Reactions Neutralization reactions: reactions
between acids and metal hydroxide bases which produce a salt and water.
H+ ions and OH- ions combine to form water molecules:
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l)
Demo: tap water vs. dH2O
Both waters have Universal indicator in them (= pH indicator (changes color in the presence of ions), which is a type of weak acids)
The water will change pH, and therefore COLOR (which helps us determine if a solution is acidic or basic) with the addition of HCl (acid) and NaOH (base)
Why does it take more drops of acid or base to make the tap water change color than it does for the distilled water?
What is distilled water made of? What is tap water made of?
Ionization of water Experiments have shown that pure water
ionizes very slightly: 2H2O H3O+ + OH-
Measurements show that: [H3O+] = [OH-]=1 x 10-7 M Pure water contains equal concentrations of
H3O+ + OH-, so it is neutral.
pH pH is a measure of the
concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. pH = -log [H3O+]
or
pH = -log [H+]
Example: What is the pH of a solution where [H3O+] = 1 x 10-7 M?
pH = -log [H3O+] pH = -log(1 x 10-7)pH = 7
Example: What is the pH of a solution where [H3O+] = 1 x 10-5 M?
pH = -log [H3O+] pH = -log(1 x 10-5)pH = 5
When acid is added to water, the [H3O+] increases, and the pH decreases.
Example: What is the pH of a solution where [H3O+] = 1 x 10-10 M?
pH = -log [H3O+] pH = -log(1 x 10-10)pH = 10
When base is added to water, the [H3O+] decreases, and the pH increases.

*You must use pH to determine if something is acidic, basic or netural (not pOH)
Example: What is the pOH of a solution where [OH-] = 1 x 10-5 M?
pOH = -log [OH-] pOH = -log(1 x 10-5)pOH = 5
How are pH and pOH related?
At every pH, the following relationships hold true:
[H3O+] • [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 M
pH + pOH = 14
Example 1: What is the pH of a solution where [H+] = 3.4 x 10-5 M?
pH = -log [H+] pH = -log(3.4 x 10-5 M)pH = 4.5
Example 2: What is the pH of a solution where [H+] = 5.4 x 10-6 M?
pH = -log [H+] pH = -log(5.4 x 10-6)pH = 5.3
Example 3: What is the [OH-] and pOH for the solution in example #2?
[H3O+][OH-]= 1 x 10-14
(5.4 x 10-6)[OH-] = 1 x 10-14
[OH-] = 1.9 x 10-9 M
pH + pOH = 14 pOH = 14 – 5.3 = 8.7
Example #4 Classify each solution as acidic, basic, or
neutral
***MUST SOLVE FOR pH and use the pH scale
a. [H+] = 6.0 x 10-10 Mb. [OH-] = 3.0 x 10-2 Mc. [H+] = 2.0 x 10-7 Md. [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M

Acids and bases: Titrations The amount of acid or base in a
solution is determined by carrying out a neutralization reaction;
an appropriate acid-base indicator (changes color in specific pH range) must be used to show when the neutralization is completed.
Buret
Solution with Indicator
This process is called a titration: the addition of a known amount of solution to determine the volume or concentration of another solution.
Read a buret volume to 2 decimal places
3 Steps to do a titration (pg. 615):
1. Add a measured amount of an acid of unknown concentration to a flask.
2. Add an appropriate indicator to the flask
3. Add measured amounts of a base of known concentration using a buret. Continue until the indicator shows that neutralization has occurred. This is called the end point of the titration
(show lab in demo form…)
4 steps to a titration CALC: 1) balanced equation 2) calculate the number of moles
of acid or base in known solution 3) calculate the number of moles
in unknown solution used during the titration
4) determine molarity of unknown solution and the pH
Example: In a titration, 27.4 mL of 0.0154 M
Ba(OH)2 is added to a 20.0 mL sample of HCl solution of unknown concentration. What is the molarity and pH of the acid solution?
Equation: (Step 1)Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCl BaCl2 + 2 H2O
(steps)
Calculate moles of known solution:
Mol Ba(OH)2 = 0.0154 127.4
1 1000
mol LmLx x
L mL 4.22 x 10-4
mol Ba(OH)2
Step 3 Calculate moles of unknown
solution
Use stoichiometry and the balanced equation:Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCl BaCl2 + 2 H2O
Calculate moles of unknown solution:
Mol HCl = 4.22 x 10-4 mol Ba(OH)2 x 2 mol HCl= 8.44 x 10-4 mol HCl 1 mol Ba(OH)2
Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCl BaCl2 + 2 H2OUse coefficients from bal. eq to get molar ratio
Calculate the M and pH Molarity = 8.44 x 10-4 mol HCl = 4.22 x 10-2 M HCl
0.0200 L
pH: HCl dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions
4.22 x 10-2 M HCl = 4.22 x 10-2 M H+ = 4.22 x 10-2 M Cl-
pH = -log[4.22 x 10-2 M H+] = 1.375 = 1.38
Extra Calculation (same steps as the one we just did) **** DO ON THE BACK OF YOUR
NOTETAKERS OR CONT. IN NOTES
A 25 mL solution of H2SO4 is completely neutralized by 18 mL of 1.0 M NaOH. What is the concentration of the H2SO4 solution? Follow steps #1-4
Titration Curve (pg. 615) A graph showing how the pH
changes as a function of the amount of added titrant in a titration.
Data for the graph is obtained by titrating a solution and measuring the pH after EVERY drop of added titrant.
Equivalence point = The point on the curve where the
moles of acid equal the moles of base
the midpoint of the steepest part of the curve is a good approximation of the equivalence point.
Knowledge of the equivalence point can then be used to choose a suitable indicator for a given titration;
the indicator must change color (end point) at a pH that corresponds to the equivalence point.pg. 602 figure 19.12
