Strong Acids
- Seven common strong acids exist, including six monoprotic acids and one diprotic acid.
- Common strong acids are:
- HCl - hydrochloric acid
- HNO₃ – nitric acid
- H₂SO₄ – sulfuric acid
- HBr - hydrobromic acid
- HClO₃ – chloric acid
- HI - hydroiodic acid
- HClO₄ – perchloric acid
- For a strong monoprotic acid, [H+] equals the original concentration of the acid.
- Nitric acid (HNO₃) is a strong, monoprotic acid, so the original acid concentration equals the concentration of hydrogen ions.
- pH of a 0.040 M solution of HClO₄ is 1.40.
- [H+] = 0.040 M
- pH = -log[H+]
- pH = -log(0.040)= 1.40
- An aqueous solution of HNO3 has a pH of 2.34, and the concentration of the acid is 4.57 × 10-3 M.
- pH = -log[H+]
- 2.34 = -log[H+]
- 10^-2.34 = [H+]= 0.00457 M
Strong Bases
- Most common strong bases are the ionic hydroxides of alkali metals (NaOH, KOH, etc.)
- Ionic hydroxides of the heavier alkaline metals, such as Sr(OH)₂, are also strong bases.
- Strong bases completely dissociate into ions in aqueous solution.
- A solution labeled 0.30 M NaOH consists of 0.30 M Na⁺(aq) and 0.30 M OH⁻(aq).
Calculating the pH of a Strong Base
- The pH of a 0.028 M solution of NaOH is 12.45.
- (H+)(0.028 M OH) = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴
- [H+] = 3.57 × 10⁻¹³ M
- -log (3.57 × 10⁻¹³) = pH
- Ca(OH)₂ dissociates to produce two OH- ions.
- The pH of a 0.0011 M solution of Ca(OH)2 is 11.34.
- (H+)(2 × 0.0011 M OH-) = 1.0×10⁻¹⁴
- [H+] = 4.55 × 10⁻¹² M
- -log (4.55 × 10⁻¹²) = pH
- The concentration of a solution of KOH is 7.8 x 10^-3 if the pH is 11.89.
- KOH is a strong base that dissociates to produce one OH-
- The concentration of a solution of Ca(OH)₂ is 2.38 × 10⁻³ M if the pH is 11.68
- Ca(OH)₂ is a strong base that dissociates to produce two OH-
