A convenient way to express [H+] is pH. pH = – log10[H+] Water In pure water: [H+] = 10-7 Molar So –log10[10-7] = – (–7) = 7 = pH pOH = – log10[OH-] In pure water – [OH-] = 10-7 Molar –log10[10-7] = – (–7) = 7 = pOH When pH = pOH we say water is “neutral” pH can range from 0 to 14. pH pH can range from 0 to 14.

The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76, the pKa of ammonia is 9.25. Weak Acids and Bases Often, biochemical reactions release H+ or OH-. How do cells deal with this? With Buffers.

The mixtures are produced a strong acid or a strong base to the mixture by adding different amounts of a strong acid or strong base to the mixture. The pH of a 0.1 M solution of CH3COOH The is about 1.8. pH of a 0.1 M solution of CH3COOH is about 1.8. Addition of 10 mL of 0.1 M Addition NaOH to 100of mL10ofmL 0.1of M0.1 M NaOH to 100 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH raises the pH to 3.7. CH3COOH raises the pH to 3.7. What happened? What happened? Weak Acids and Bases 10 mL of 0.1 M NaOH contains 0.001 moles = 1 millimole of OH-. 0.1moles x 0.1moles = x = 10ml = 0.001moles 1000ml 10ml 1000ml 100 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH contains 10 millimoles of acid. So we added 1 millimole or 0.1 equivalent of OH- = 10% of the acid present. Some of the added OH- reacted with H+ to yield H2O. The Law of Mass Action (AKA LeChatelier’s Principle) then caused the HA to ionize to release more protons. This continued until all the added OH- was neutralized. - HA A + H+ Weak Acids and Bases So [HA] has decreased, [A-] increased, [H+] decreased, [OH-] increased, and pH increased. The added OH- (a strong base) will neutralize an equal # of moles of HA (a weak acid). Similarly, a strong acid will neutralize an equal # of moles of conjugate base (A-). When 50 mL of NaOH have been added, 5 millimoles of OH- have been added, neutralizing half of the HA. The acid is half neutralized and so half dissociated [HA] = [A-] i.e. [Weak Acid] = [Conjugate Base] Weak Acids and Bases Remember, [H + ][A− ] K a[HA] Ka = [H + ] = [HA] [A− ] So when [HA] = [A-] , [H+] = Ka and pH = pKa Near the end of the curve, when there is no more HA to ionize, the pH will rise sharply. The same graph could have been produced by adding HCl (a strong acid) to a solution of sodium acetate, the conjugate base of acetic acid (a weak base). Features of titration curves. 1. At the ends of the curves small additions of acid and base result in large changes in pH. Weak Acids and Bases 2. In the middle, small additions of strong acid or base cause small changes in pH. The region where pH = pKa is called the buffering region. A Buffer is a mixture of WA and CB that resists changes in pH when small additions of strong acid or base are added. How does it work? Near the pKa [WA] ~ [CB]. The WA can neutralize added OH-, and the CB can neutralize added H+. Cells require buffers because high concentrations of H+ and OH - can break covalent bonds. Weak Acids and Bases The main buffer system found in cells is : - - - H2PO4 + OH HPO42 + H2O 2- + + - HPO4 H H 2PO4 The pKa of H2PO4- is 7.2. Weak Acids and Bases K a[HA] We can re-write [H + ] = − in terms of pH and pKa [A ] [HA] pH = pK a − log10 { − } [A ] Or [ A− ] pH = pK a + log10 { } [HA] Using this Henderson-Hasselbach Equation we can calculate the pH of a WA-CB pair if we know their ratio and the pKa. 1 [CB] 10 WA-CB pairs buffer well as long as: < < 10 [WA] 1 Weak Acids and Bases pH = pK a + log10 { } = pK a −1.0 pH = pK a + log10 { } = pK a +1.0 For acetic acid the range is: 3.76 to 5.76. Example Calculation: What is the pH of a 20 mL solution of 0.1 M Tris base (RNH2) after addition of 10 mL of 0.1 M HCl? The pKa = 8.1 First we calculate that we have 2 mmoles of Tris base and 1 mmole of HCl. Weak Acids and Bases The reaction will be: The reaction will be: 2RNH2 + 1HCl + + - 1 RNH2 1 RNH3 + 1Cl This means that 1mmole of strong acid has neutralized 1mmole of The above means that 1 mmole of strong acid has neutralized 1 conjugate base mmole of conjugate base giving 1 mmole of WA and 1 mmole of – This produces 1mmole of weak acid and 1mmole of conjugate base CB. 1mmol / 30ml – HH: pH= 8.1 + Log 1mmole/30mL From HH: pH = 8.1+ Log{ 1mmole/30mL } 1mmol / 30ml – pH= 8.1 + 0 = 8.1 So pH = 8.1 + 0 = 8.1
