Acids-BasesBrønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
A Brønsted-Lowry acid is a substance that can donate a hydrogen ion (aka H+, proton).
A Brønsted-Lowry base is a substance that can accept a hydrogen ion.
Acids and bases occur as conjugate acid - base pairs.

pH = -log10[H3O+]EXAMPLE
Calculate the pH (at 25oC) of an aqueous solution that has an
OH-(aq) concentration of 1.2 x 10-6 M (i.e., mol/liter)
Solution
The concentration of H+ (aq) is
[H+][OH-] = KW
[H+] = KW/[OH-] = 10-14/1.2x10-6 = 8.3 x 10-9
pH = -log[8.3 x 10-9] = 8.1

Strong Acids
A strong acid is one that dissociates completely in water to produce H+(aq).
E.g., Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid:
HCl (aq) → H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) (reaction essentially complete)
Dissolving 0.10 mol of HCl in enough water to make 1.0 L of solution gives a final concentration of 0.10 M for H+(aq).
[H+][OH-] = Kw
[OH-] = Kw / [H+] = 10-14/10-1 = 10-13
H2O (l) H+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

Effect of dilution on the % dissociation and [H+] and pH

Le Chatelier’s Priniciple:
If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration (or temperature, volume, or partial pressure) then the system shifts to counteract the imposed change.

Strong Acids and Bases
Strong BasesA strong base reacts completely with water to produce OH-(aq) ions.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base:
Others are KOH–, NH2– (amide ion) and H– (Hydride ion)
NaOH (s) → Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) (reaction essentially complete)
Dissolving 0.10 mol of NaOH in enough water to make 1.0 L of solution gives a final concentration of 0.10 M for OH- (aq). From this you can calculate pH and pOH.
[H+][OH-] = Kw
[OH-] = 10-1 [H+] = 10-13 pOH = 1 pH = 13
[H+] = Kw/[OH-] =10-14/10-1 = 10-13

The strength of a base is inversely related to the strength of its conjugate acid; the weaker the acid, the stronger its conjugate base, and vice versa

Polyprotic Acids
Note: Sulfuric acid is a strong acid in its first dissociation step and a weak acid in its second step.

HSO4– (aq) H+ (aq) + SO4

It is always easier to remove the first proton in a polyprotic acid than the second. That is, Ka1 > Ka2 > Ka3

Polyprotic Acids1. Polyprotic acids have more than one ionizable proton.2. The protons are removed in steps, not all at once.3. The extent of the steps can be calculated sequentially.4. From the successive acidity constants, the equilibrium concentrations of all
species present can be calculated at any value of the pH.
H2SO3 (aq) + H2O (l) → H3O+ (aq) + HSO3- (aq)
Ka1 = 103
HSO3- (aq) + H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + SO3
2- (aq)
Ka2 = 1.2 x 10-2

Polyprotic Acids
• pH calculations for solutions of Polyprotic acids appear complicated, most common cases (with weak acids) are surprising straightforward.
• Setup equations, K values, set up ICE type table, assume dissociation is small (check assumption) and solve.
• For typical weak Polyprotic acids.
Ka1 >> Ka2 >> Ka3
• The first dissociation step dominates the H+ concentration and thus the pH

Hydrolysis is a Brønsted-Lowry Acid and Base Reaction
Anion: A─ + H2O ↔ HA + OH─
Cation: M+2 + H2O ↔ H3O+ + M(OH)+
E.g., Cations Ni+2 and Fe+2

• Hydrolysis is a term applied to reactions of aquated ions that change the pH from 7
• When NaCl is placed in water, the resulting solution is observed to be neutral (pH = 7)
• However when sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic
• Other salts behave similarly, NH4Cl and AlCl3 give acid solutions.• These interactions between salts and water are called hydrolysis

Summary
• Acid-Base Equilibrium Problems– Which major species are present– Does a reaction occur that can be assumed to go to
completion?– Which equilibrium dominates the solution?– Set up ICE type table– Solve for equilibrium concentrations using know K
values– Check any simplifying assumptions– Typically solve for pH or % species in solution
