Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 7 Today: Acid–Base Equilibria Lecture 3: Acid ≡ “substance that ionizes in H2O to form protons” + − Ex: HCl(&') → H (&') + Cl (&') (hydrochloric acid, strong acid) Base ≡ “substance that accepts (reacts with) protons” + − Ex: NaOH &' → Na (&') + OH (&') (sodium hydroxide, strong base) But promised to return: Acid–base chemistry important for engineers to understand Now that we have learned about equilibria, we can go further with acid–base We can be more precise about what they are and how they behave Today: important topic! Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 8 Definition of Acids and Bases Not so easy... Arrhenius: Acid ≡ “a substance that, when dissolved in water, increases [H+]” !! " + − Ex: HCl(&') H (&') + Cl (&') Base ≡ “a substance that, when dissolved in water, increases [OH−]” !! " + − Ex: NaOH &' Na (&') + OH (&') Useful, but limited: Restricted to aqueous solutions Water is clearly important for acid–base chemistry We will focus on aqueous acid–base, but concept is broader Other definitions?

H+ is bare proton: Small, positive, and seeking electrons What happens to proton placed in water ? hydronium ion H+ reacts with lone pair on H2O Forms hydronium ion: H3O+ H3O+ then forms more complex structures with H2O H+ and H3O+ often used interchangeably, but H3O+ more accurate visiting For Chemistry exg Thatis indiscussionsof aqueous acidbasechemistry H H30ᵗ Lecture #13, p. 10 Wecanthendiscussthecentralequilibriumin aqueous acidbasechemistry Autoionization of Water Much of acid–base chemistry is in H2O Iiiiii Key equilibrium: H2O (ℓ) + H2O (ℓ) ⇌ OH− (aq) + H3O+ (aq) A proton transfers between H2O molecules Elastin ion-product "! = [OH−] [H3O+] ≡ "" ≡ constant = 1.0 × 10−14 (25 °C) iiiiii This equilibrium constant is so important, it is given a special name Note: "" ≪ 1 !

We ignore affect of other ions on the equilibrium Thus, '# = [OH−] [H3O+] can be used to manipulate [H3O+] We can change [H3O+] over many orders of magnitude !

Log scale suited to quantities that change by orders of magnitude pH = −log H"O# !! = [OH−] [H3O+] = 1.0 ×10−14 (25 °C) H"O# = 1.0 × 10−7 pH = −log 1.0 × 10−7 Iiiiiiii Neutral H2O OH$ = 1.0 × 10−7 = 7.00 1 H"O# = 1.0 × 10−3 pH = 3.00 If we increase [H3 O+ ] by 104 OH$ = 1.0 × 10−11 Ti Acidic: pH < 7 and Basic: pH > 7 Chemistry Alsoknownasalkaline Lecture #13, p. 13 SospecificallyhowdowemanipulatetheautoionizationofH2o How Do We Manipulate? '# = [OH−] [H3O+] Acids: transfer H+ to H2O to make more H3O+ Ex: HCl + + H$ O ℓ Cl& /0 + H' O( (/0) Bases: accept H+ to H2O to make more OH− Ex: NH' /0 + H$ O ℓ NH)( /0 + OH & (/0) i.e., proton- Plus, this approach to acid–base applies beyond H2O transfer approach Ex: HCl + + NH' /0 NH' Cl 4 This is a gas-phase reaction that does not involve water Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 14 Nowwecanintroduceabroaderdefinition ofacidsandbases Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases Brønsted-Lowry Acid: A substance (molecule or ion) that donates a proton to another substance Brønsted-Lowry Base: A substance (molecule or ion) that accepts a proton from another substance Broader definition: water must not be involved Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 15 Acid–Base Pairs Proton transfer requires acid–base pair Amphiprotic substance: Autoionization of H2O ⇒ H2O plays both roles ⇒ can act as both H2O (ℓ) + H2O (ℓ) ⇌ OH− (aq) + H3O+ (aq) acid or base We can write generic reaction of acid “HA” with H2O: HA (aq) + H2O (ℓ) ⇌ A− (aq) + H3O+ (aq) "- = A' [H& O% ] 1 iii [HA] acid base conjugate conjugate acid-dissociation base acid constant H+ H+ donor acceptor Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 16 Acid–Base Pairs We can write generic reaction of base “B” with H2O: HB% [OH ' ] B (aq) + H2O (ℓ) ⇌ HB+ (aq) + OH− (aq) ". = [B] base acid conjugate conjugate base-dissociation acid base constant H+ H+ acceptor donor true For both reactions ⇒ LHS: acid + base RHS: conjugate acid + conjugate base s h Each acid, HA has conjugate base, A− s base, B conjugate acid, HB+ site Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 17 Strength of Acids HA (aq) + H2O (ℓ) ⇌ A− (aq) + H3O+ (aq) acid base conjugate conjugate base acid Strong acid, HA: Gives up all H+; HA is fully ionized HA completely transfers H+ to H2O to form H3O+ Conjugate base A− does not accept protons Decreasing acidity Conjugate base has negligible basicity Weak acid, HA: Partially ionized; mix of HA and A− Conjugate base is also weak because it also only partially accepts protons Weak conjugate base A− HA without acidity: Gives up no H+; A− is strong H+ acceptor Strong conjugate base A− Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 18 Strength of Bases B (aq) + H2O (ℓ) ⇌ HB+ (aq) + OH− (aq) Similarly for bases base acid conjugate conjugate acid base Strong base, B: Grabs all H+; HB+ dominates Decreasing basicity Conjugate acid HB+ does not donate protons Negligible acidity Weak base, B: Grabs some H+; mix of B and HB+ Weak conjugate acid HB+ B without basicity: Grabs no H+; HB+ is strong H+ donor Strong conjugate acid HB+ Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 19 Strength of Acids and Bases Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 20 Strength of Acids and Bases Strong acids: Strong “givers”: Give all H+ to H2O Not present as HA in H2O, rather as A− Strong bases: Strong “takers”: Take H+ from H2O Not present as B in H2O, rather as HB+ Explains (Brown, p. 762): E.IE ii “The ions H3O+ and OH− are, respectively, the strongest possible acid and strongest possible base that can exist at equilibrium in aqueous solution.” Chemistry Lecture #13, p. 21 Strength of Acids and Bases Explains (Brown, p. 762): “The ions H3O+ and OH− are, respectively, the strongest possible acid and strongest possible base that can exist at equilibrium in aqueous solution.” “Stronger acids react with water to produce H3O+ ions, and stronger bases react with water to produce OH − ions, a phenomenon known as the leveling effect.” These H3O+ and OH − ions are stronger acids and bases than most other chemicals. Thus, can give/take H+. Reactive! That’s why we care!
