Study Notes
Prayer Before Class
- A prayer is offered for guidance and understanding during the class.
- It requests wisdom, a clear mind, and good memory.
- It asks for understanding, ease of learning, and effective communication.
- The prayer also requests successful completion of the work.
- It ends with a declaration of faith and reverence.
Post-laboratory Discussion: Acidity, Basicity, pH
- This is a discussion on the post-laboratory findings of acidity, basicity, and pH.
- The discussion is part of the Chemistry for Engineers course.
- The session will address acidity, basicity, and pH.
Learning Objective
- Students are expected to determine the pH of various solutions.
- This task will be completed at the end of the experiment
Topic Outline
- Discussion of pH
- Measurement of pH
- pH of acids and bases
- pH of common solutions
- pH of water
- Effect of Dilution on pH of acids and bases
- Acid-Base reaction
- Action of acids on metal
pH: Basicity, Acidity
- pH is a scale of small numbers used to indicate the molar hydronium ion concentration in aqueous solutions.
- This scale ranges from 0 to 14.
- 7 is neutral.
- Below 7 is acidic.
- Above 7 is basic.
pH: Basicity, Acidity (Advanced)
- A higher concentration of hydronium ions leads to a lower pH.
- A change of 1 pH unit represents a tenfold change in hydronium ion concentration
Acid
- An acid is any substance that produces H3O+ (hydronium ions) in an aqueous solution
Base
- A base is any substance that produces OH- (hydroxide ions) in an aqueous solution
pH Values of Common Solutions
- A table shows the pH values of various common materials.
- Different materials have varying pH levels, ranging from highly acidic to highly basic.
Strengths of Acids and Bases
- Acids and bases can be classified as strong or weak.
- This classification depends on the extent to which proton transfer occurs in an aqueous solution.
Strong Acid
- Strong acids react almost completely with water to form H3O+ ions.
- They ionize completely in water.
Weak Acid
- Weak acids produce much smaller concentrations of H3O+ ions.
- They only partially ionize in water.
Strong Base
- Strong bases (that are metal hydroxides) ionize completely in water.
- They produce OH- ions in aqueous solution.
Weak Base
- A weak base produces a much smaller concentration of OH- ions.
- They only partially ionize in water
Strong Acids and Bases (Table)
- A table lists the formulas and names of common strong acids and bases.
Strong Acids
- Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is used in manufacturing fertilizers, dyes, pigments, and rayon.
- Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used for removing rust, cleaning metal equipment, in household cleaners, and food manufacturing.
- Nitric acid (HNO3) is for engraving, cleaning metals, and manufacturing fertilizers.
Weak Acids
- Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is present in vinegar and the manufacture of paints, adhesives, and plastics
Strong Bases
- Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is used in manufacturing glass and soap.
Weak Bases
- Ammonia (NH3) is used in fertilizers and as a cleaning agent.
- Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is used as a laxative and treats wastewater in metal-processing plants.
Acidic, Basic, Neutral Solutions
- Acidic solutions have a higher concentration of H3O+ ions than OH- ions.
- Basic solutions have a higher concentration of OH- ions than H3O+ ions.
- Neutral solutions have equal concentrations of OH- and H3O+ ions.
Some Factors Affecting pH of a Solution
- Factors that Affect pH include the concentration of acids or bases
- Presence of buffers
- Concentration of carbon dioxide
Concentration of the Solution
- Higher concentrations of acids lead to lower pH values (more acidic).
- Higher concentrations of bases lead to higher pH values (more basic).
Dissolved Salts
- Salts of strong acids and weak bases form acidic solutions.
- Salts of strong bases and weak acids form basic solutions.
Presence of Buffers
- Buffers prevent significant changes in solution pH.
- Neutralizing added acids or bases.
- Maintaining a stable pH in the solution.
Carbon Dioxide Concentration
- Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid.
- This lowers the pH of the solution.
Properties of Acids and Bases
- Properties of acids and bases are discussed.
Neutralization
- Neutralization is a chemical reaction between an acid and a hydroxide base.
- This reaction results in the formation of salt and water
Application of Neutralization Reactions
- Neutralization is used in wastewater treatment using compounds like sodium bicarbonate, magnesium hydroxide, calcium oxide, and calcium carbonate.
- Neutralization can also be used to control soil pH using calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide.
Reaction with Metals
- Strong acids react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas and a salt.
Experiment Results
- This section details the experimental results for acidity, basicity, and pH measurements.
pH of Acids and Bases
- Measured pH values for various acidic and basic solutions with litmus paper and pH meter measurements.
pH of Common Solutions
- Observed and measured pH values for common solutions using litmus paper and pH meter.
pH of Water
- Measured pH values for boiled distilled, unboiled distilled and tap water.
Effect of Dilution on pH of Acids and Bases
- Experiment shows the effect of dilution on the pH of acidic and basic solutions.
Acid-Base Reaction
- Neutralization reaction pH values measured using litmus paper and comparing with pH meter.
Action of Acids on Metals
- The reactions of different concentrations of acids with metal ribbons are discussed, including the rate of reactions.
What Effect Does Dilution Have on the pH of an Acid (or Base)?
- Questions about the effect of dilution on the pH of acids and bases.
Dilution
- The process of diluting a solution by adding solvent, thereby affecting the solute concentration.
Effects on an Acid
- Dilution increases the pH of an acid.
- This is because the concentration of H3O+ decreases as more solvent is added.
Effects on a Base
- Dilution decreases the pH of a base.
- This is because the concentration of OH- decreases as more solvent is added.
As the Molar Concentration of an Acid Decreases…
- The reaction rate of the acid with metals is expected to decrease.
Molar Concentration of An Acid Affecting Reaction Rate
- Collision theory explains the conditions necessary for chemical reactions.
- Lower acid concentrations reduce the frequency of effective collisions, thereby slowing the reaction rate.
Explain Why Unboiled Deionized Water Has a Measured pH Less Than 7?
- Unboiled deionized water absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, forming carbonic acid.
- Carbonic acid dissociates into ions, decreasing the pH to less than 7.
