H2CO3(aq) + CaCO3(s) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + 2HCO3-(aq) Objectives: 14.1 Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases Definition of Brønsted-Lowry Identify acids, bases, and conjugate acid-base pairs Describe the acid-base behavior of amphiprotic substances Write equations for acid/base ionization reactions calculate hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxide (OH-) concentrations Acid and Base Definitions Johannes Brønsted and Thomas Lowry (1923) definition: Focused on the reactions between acids and bases. Brønsted-Lowry Acid: A compound that donates a proton to another compound. Brønsted-Lowry Base: A compound that accepts a proton from another compound. What Types of Compounds are Acids? Acids: A compound that donates a proton to another compound. Molecules H2O, HF, H2CO3, H2SO3, HNO3 Cations that contain H H3O+, NH4+ Anions that contain H HCO3-, HS- What Types of Compounds are Bases? Bases: A compound that accepts a proton from another compound. Ionic compounds that contain -OH HCO3-, HSO3-, H2PO4-, Molecules H2O, NH3 Anions – With or without H OH-, ClO4-, HS- Cations – Few examples Brønsted-Lowry Acid/Base Theory The species formed when a proton is removed from an acid is the conjugate base of that acid. The species formed when a proton is added to a base is the conjugate acid of that base. Brønsted-Lowry Acid/Base Theory The species formed when a proton is removed from an acid is the conjugate base of that acid. The species formed when a proton is added to a base is the conjugate acid of that base. Brønsted-Lowry Acid/Base Theory The species formed when a proton is removed from an acid is the conjugate base of that acid. conjugate acid conjugate base base acid The species formed when a proton is added to a base is the conjugate acid of that base. Amphiprotic Species A species that can either accept or donate a proton is called amphiprotic (or amphoteric). An amphiprotic species can serve as an acid or a base. Example: Water In the presence of a base, water acts as an acid. Amphiprotic Species A species that can either accept or donate a proton is called amphiprotic (or amphoteric). An amphiprotic species can serve as an acid or a base. Example: Water In the presence of a base, water acts as an acid. In the presence of an acid, water acts as a base. Amphiprotic Species Examples: H2O HCO3- HS- HSO3- … Amphiprotic Species Amphiprotic Species: Water as an Acid The reaction between a Brønsted-Lowry base and water is called base ionization. Amphiprotic Species: Water as a Base The reaction between a Brønsted-Lowry acid and water is called acid ionization. The Autoionization of Water In pure water, water also acts both as an acid and a base. Autoionization of water: The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the ion product constant for water, Kw Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1.0 × 10–14 (25 °C) Notice that H2O is not a part of the expression for Kw. Why? Hint: Today we will learn Chapter 14 Acid-Base Equilibria 14.1 Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases proton donor vs. proton acceptor Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1.0 × 10–14 (25 °C) 14.2 pH and pOH 14.3 Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases 14.4 Hydrolysis of Salts 14.5 Polyprotic Acids 14.6 Buffers 14.7 Acid-Base Titrations H3O+ and OH– Concentrations Kw = [H3O+][OH–] = 1.0 × 10–14 (25 °C) [H3O+] and [OH–] are inversely related to each other. In pure water, [H3O+] and [OH–] are equal to each other. This solution is neutral. [H3O+] = [OH–] = 1.0 × 10–7 M When an acid or base is dissolved, [H3O+] and [OH–] are not equal to each other. If [H3O+] > [OH–], the solution is called acidic. If [OH–] > [H3O+], the solution is called basic. H3O+ and OH– Concentrations Kw = [H3O+][OH–] = 1.0 × 10–14 (25 °C) [H3O+] and [OH–] are inversely related to each other. The acidity and basicity of a solution can be expressed in terms of its [H3O+] or [OH–]. These concentrations can span many orders of magnitude, therefore logarithmic values are commonly used. H3O+ and OH– Concentrations Kw = [H3O+][OH–] = 1.0 × 10–14 (25 °C) [H3O+] and [OH–] are inversely related to each other. pH & pOH pH = -log[H3O+] [H3O+] = 10-pH (this is the antilog function) pOH = -log[OH-] [OH-] = 10-pOH (this is the antilog function) pH = - pH + pOH = pOH = - log[H3O+] log[OH-] 14 Table 14.1.

Convenient test strips, called pH paper, contain embedded indicator dyes that yield pH-dependent color changes on contact with aqueous solutions.
