Self-Ionization of Water Water can act as an acid and as a base. This means that a water molecule can
either give or receive a proton.
Base Acid CA CBA pair of water molecules are in equilibrium with two ions—a hydronium ion and a hydroxide ion—in a reaction known as the self-ionization of water.
Self-Ionization of Water
The equilibrium expression for this reaction is simply Keq = [H3O+][OH−]
This equilibrium constant, called the self-ionization constant, is so important that it has a special symbol, Kw.
Base Acid CA CB
Self-Ionization of Water
In pure water, the two ions must share the same concentration.
Experiments show that this concentration is1.00 × 10−7 M at 25°C.
[H3O+] = [OH−] = 1.00 × 10−7 M
Kw = [H3O+] [OH-]
Kw = 1.00 X 10-14
Base Acid CA CB
Self-Ionization of WaterThe product of these two ion concentrations is
always a constant.
Anything that increases one of the ion concentrations decreases the other.
If you know one of the ion concentrations, you can calculate the other.
Self-Ionization of WaterThe concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) in
a solution expresses its acidity. The concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in a
solution expresses its basicity.
Sample Problem A, pg. 541Determining [OH-] or [H30+] using Kw
What is the [OH-] in a 3.00 X 10 -5 M solution of HCl?HCl is a strong acid and ionizes completely:
HCl (g) + H2O (l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
3.00 X 10-5 M 3.00 X 10-5 MBecause 1:1 ratio, [HCl] = [H3O+] = 3.00 X 10 -5 M
Kw = [OH-] [H3O+] = 1.00 X 10 -14
1.00 X 10 -14 = [OH-] (3.00 X 10 -5 M)
[OH-] = 3.33 X 10-10 M
Additional PracticeWhat is the [H3O+] in a solution of NaOH whose
concentration is 3.75 X 10 -2 M?NaOH is a strong base and ionizes completely:
NaOH (s) Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) 3.75 X 10 -2 M 3.75 X 10 -2 MBecause 1:1 ratio, [NaOH] = [OH-] = 3.75 X 10 -2 MKw = [OH-] [H3O+] = 1.00 X 10 -14
1.00 X 10 -14 = 3.75 X 10 -2 M [H3O+]
[H3O+] = 2.67 X 10-13 M
pH and AcidityWhen acidity and basicity are exactly balanced
such that the numbers of H3O+ and OH− ions are equal, we say that the solution is neutral.
Pure water is neutral because it contains equal amounts of the two ions.
Measuring pH
The letters p and H stand for “power of hydrogen”.
pH can be calculated by the following mathematical equation:
pH = −log [H3O+]
Measuring pH
Because of the negative sign, as the hydronium ion concentration increases, the pH will decrease.
A solution of pH 0 is very acidic.
A solution of pH 14 is very alkaline.
A solution of pH 7 is neutral.
Measuring pH
The pH equation may be rearranged to calculate the hydronium ion (H3O+) concentration from the pH.
[H3O+] = 10−pH
Sample Problem B, pg. 544Calculating pH for an Acidic or Basic Solution
What is the pH of (a) a 0.00010 M solution of HNO3, a strong acid, and (b) a 0.0136 M solution of KOH, a strong base?
(a): HNO3 is a strong acid and ionizes completely:
HNO3 (g) + H2O (l) → H3O+ (aq) + NO3- (aq)
0.00010 M 0.00010 M
Because 1:1 ratio, [HNO3] = [H3O+] = 0.00010 M
pH = -log [H3O+] pH = -log (0.00010)
pH = 4.00
Sample Problem B continuedWhat is the pH of (a) a 0.00010 M solution of HNO3, a
strong acid, and (b) a 0.0136 M solution of KOH, a strong base?
(b): KOH is a strong base and ionizes completely:KOH (s) → K+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
0.0136 M 0.0136 MBecause 1:1 ratio, [KOH] = [OH-] = 0.0136 MKw = [OH-] [H30+] = 1.00 X 10 -14
1.00 X 10 -14 = (0.0136 M) [H30+] [H30+] = 7.35 X 10 -13 pH = - log [H30+] pH = - log (7.35 X 10 -13)
pH = 12.13
Sample Problem C, pg. 545Calculating [H3O+] and [OH-] from pH
What are the concentrations of the hydronium and hydroxide ions in a sample of rain water that has a pH of 5.05?
[H3O+] = 10−pH
[H3O+] = 10 -5.05
[H3O+] = 8.91 X 10-6 MKw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1.00 X 10 -14
8.91 X 10 -6 M [OH-] = 1.00 X 10 -14
[OH-] = 1.12 X 10-9 M
Additional PracticeIf the pH of a solution is 8.1, what is the [H3O+] ?
What is the [OH-] in the solution?[H3O+] = 10−pH
[H3O+] = 10 -8.1
[H3O+] = 7.9 X 10-9 MKw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1.00 X 10 -14
7.9 X 10 -9 M [OH-] = 1.00 X 10 -14
[OH-] = 1.3 X 10-6 M
IndicatorsCertain dyes, known as indicators, turn
different colors in solutions of different pH.
An indicator is a compound that can reversibly change color depending on the pH of the solution or other chemical change.
pH MetersA pH meter is an electronic instrument equipped
with a probe that can be dipped into a solution.
The probe has two electrodes, one of which is sensitive to the hydronium ion.
An electrical voltage develops between the two electrodes, and the circuitry measures this voltage.
The instrument converts the measurement into a pH reading, which is displayed on the meter’s screen.
