Study Notes
Proton Transfer
- Acids are proton donors, releasing H+ ions in solutions, making the solution acidic.
- Bases are proton acceptors, taking H+ ions from acids.
Strong and Weak Acids
- Strong acids fully ionize in water, creating solutions with a low pH.
- Examples of strong acids are HCl and H2SO4.
- Weak acids partially ionize in water, resulting in solutions with pH closer to 7.
- Weak acids establish an equilibrium between the molecules and ions in water.
- Examples of weak acids include propanoic acid and ethanoic acid.
Acid-Base Reactions
-
Reaction with Metals: Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen
- Example: Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid → Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen
-
Reaction with Bases: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
- Example: Magnesium hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid → Magnesium chloride + Water
-
Reaction with Carbonates: Acid + Carbonate → Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water
- Example: Magnesium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid → Magnesium chloride + Carbon dioxide + Water
Indicators
- Indicators show the pH of substances.
- Litmus is a natural indicator extracted from lichens, turning red in acid and blue in alkali.
- Synthetic indicators, like thymolphthalein and methyl orange, are organic compounds showing distinct color changes in different pH ranges.
pH Scale
- The pH scale ranges from 0-14.
- Acids have a pH below 7, alkalis above 7.
- A neutral solution has a pH of 7.
- Strong acids have a low pH (0-2), while strong alkalis have a high pH (12-14).
- Universal indicators are mixtures of indicators used to determine the pH of a solution by matching the resulting colour to a chart.
- Lower pH indicates higher H+ ion concentration, and higher pH indicates higher OH- ion concentration.
Neutralization
- Neutralization is a reaction between an acid and a base, producing salt and water.
- The pH of the resulting solution is closer to neutral (pH 7).
- The neutralization reaction is a commonly used process in chemistry.
Titration
- Titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution using a solution of known concentration.
- A burette is used to deliver a known volume of the solution with known concentration (the titrant) into a flask containing the unknown solution (the analyte).
- The endpoint of the titration is the point at which the reaction is complete, indicated by a clear color change in the indicator.
- Titration is used in many chemical applications, including determining the concentration of acids and bases, measuring the amount of a substance in a sample, and monitoring chemical reactions.
