ARRHENIUS ACID |
• An Arrhenius acid is any substance that provides hydrogenions, H+, when dissolved in water. • HNO3is an acid: HNO3(aq) ------> H+(aq) + NO3-(aq) |
|
ARRHENIUS BASE |
An Arrhenius base is any substance that provideshydroxide ions, OH-, when dissolved in water. KOH is a base: KOH(aq) -----> K+(aq) + OH-(aq) |
|
BRØNSTED ACID |
A Brønsted acid is any hydrogen-containing substance thatis capable of donating a proton (H+) to another substance. |
|
BRØNSTED BASE |
A Brønsted base is any substance capable of accepting aproton from another substance |
|
are Brønsted bases equilibrium? |

CONJUGATE ACIDS AND BASES
|
The base formed (NO2-) when a substance (HNO2) acts as aBrønsted acid is called the conjugate base of the acid.Similarly, the acid formed (H3O+) when a substance (H2O)acts as a Brønsted base is called the conjugate acid of thebase.
|
|
CONJUGATE ACID-BASE PAIRS
|
A Brønsted acid (such as HNO2) and its conjugate base(NO2-) form what is called a conjugate acid-base pair.• The same name is given to a Brønsted base (such as H2O)and its conjugate acid (H3O+)

|
THE pH CONCEPT |
It is often the practice to express the concentration of H3O+inan abbreviated form called the pH rather than to usescientific notation. t is also a common practice to represent the H3O+ion by thesimpler H+ion. • The pH notation is defined below, using H+in place of H3O+:pH = -log[H+], or in alternate form [H+]= 1x10-pH • Thus, the pH is seen to be the negative of the exponent usedto express the molar concentration of H+ using scientificnotation. |
|
Example 2: Calculate the [OH-] for a solution with a pH = 4.0 |
1.0 * 10 ^ -10 1.0 * 10 ^ -14 = (1.0 * 10 ^ -4) * [OH-] |
|
Example 3: Calculate the pH of a solution in which[H+]= 3.6x10-4 M. |
Solution: Use the pH equation, pH = -log [H+], to findpH= -log [3.6 x 10-4], then evaluate with a calculator. -3.4437 flip sign 3.4437 is da ph |
|
Example 4: Calculate the [H+] of a solution in whichpH = 5.92. |
Solution: Use the alternate pH equation, [H+] = 1 x 10-pH, tofind [H+] = 1.0 x 10 ^ -5.92, then evaluate with a calculator. The [H+] of the solution is 1.2 x 10-6 M. |
|
PROPERTIES OF ACIDS |
producing H3O+ions when dissolved in water. In addition, all acids undergo characteristic doublereplacementreactions with solid oxides, hydroxides,carbonates, and bicarbonates. These reactions are givenbelow, using hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), as a representativeacid. Reaction with metal oxide: 2HCl(aq) + MgO(s) → MgCl2(aq) + H2O(l) Reaction with metal hydroxide: 2HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s) → MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l) |
|
PROPERTIES OF BASES
|
Their most characteristic chemical property is their ability toreact readily with acids in what is called a neutralizationreaction.
Basic solutions feel soapy or slippery to the touch andcontain the OH ion |
|
NEUTRALIZATION REACTIONS
|
• In neutralization reactions, an acid reacts with a base toproduce a salt and water. The following are typicalneutralization reactions involving the base sodium hydroxide,NaOH, which is also known commercially as lye.
Reaction with hydrochloric acid:NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) Reaction with nitric acid:NaOH(aq) + HNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l) |
|
THE STRENGTH OF ACIDS & BASES |
The strengthof an acid orbase isdeterminedby the extentto whichdissolved acidor basedissociates toform ions A strong acid or base dissociates 100%, while a weak ormoderately weak one dissociates less than 100%. |
|
ACID DISSOCIATION CONSTANTS
|
for the dissociation of a weak acid. It is represented by thesymbol Ka.• The dissociation of a weak acid in solution is represented bythe following equation in which HB represents the weak acid,and Bisthe conjugate base of the acid.
|
|
Monoprotic acids |
give up only oneproton permolecule whendissolved in water |
|
Diprotic acids |
give up amaximum of twoprotons permolecule whendissolved in water |
|
• Triprotic acids |
give up amaximum of threeprotons permolecule whendissolved in water. |
|
COMMON BASES weak base
|
Ammonia (NH3) is the weak base most often encountered inaddition to the anions of strong acids.
|
|
COMMON BASES strong |
are the hydroxides ofgroup I A (1) metals (NaOH, KOH, etc.) and the hydroxides ofgroup II A (2) metals (Mg(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, etc.) |
|
BUFFERS
|
Buffers are solutions with the ability to resist changing pH whenacids (H+) or bases (OH-) are added to them.
