Study Notes
Strong Acids and Bases
- Strong acids and bases completely ionize in solution.
- Examples of strong acids include Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), Hydrobromic Acid (HBr), and Hydroiodic Acid (HI).
- Examples of strong bases include Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH).
Weak Acids and Bases
- Weak acids and bases partially ionize in solution.
- Weak acids and bases form a conjugate acid-base pair, which is the original species with one hydrogen added or removed.
- Examples of weak acids include Formic Acid (HCOOH), Acetic Acid (CH3COOH), and Hydrocyanic Acid (HCN).
- Examples of weak bases include Ammonia (NH3), Trimethyl Ammonia (N(CH3)3), and Pyridine (C5H5N).
Ka and pKa
- Ka is the acid dissociation constant, which measures the tendency of a weak acid to dissociate.
- Higher Ka signifies higher tendency of weak acid to dissociate, making it relatively more acidic.
- Lower Ka signifies lower tendency of weak acid to dissociate, making it relatively less acidic.
- pKa is the negative logarithm of Ka.
Titration
- Titration is a process used to determine the concentration of a solution.
- Analyte: The substance being titrated.
- Titrant: A solution of known concentration added to the analyte to reach the equivalence point.
- Equivalence Point/Stoichiometric Point: The point where the number of moles of titrant equals the number of moles of analyte.
- Buffering Region: The flat part of the curve where the solution resists changes in pH, occurring when the solution contains a significant amount of both weak acid and its conjugate base.
- Indicator Solution: A chemical added to the analyte that changes color near the equivalence point.
- pH Meter/Probe: Measures real-time pH changes as the titration proceeds.
Titration Curve
- Monoprotic Titration: Involves a single proton transfer.
- Strong Acid/Base Titration: Results in an S-shaped curve with an abrupt increase/decrease in pH at the equivalence point.
- Weak Acid/Base Titration: Results in a gradual increase/decrease in pH with the equivalence point occurring at a pH greater/lesser than 7.
Buffer
- A buffer solution resists changes in pH upon addition of small amounts of acid of base.
- A buffer solution is typically composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
- Buffers are important for maintaining the pH of biological systems.
