Arrhenius theoryArrhenius theory
Acid : a substance that, when dissolved in water, produce H+ ions
Base : a substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of OH- ions.
Acid : a substance that can donate a proton to a base
Base : a substance that can accept a proton from an acid.
An acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
Bronsted Lowry theory
When an acid gives up its proton, what remains is called the conjugate base of that acid.
When a base accepts a proton, the resulting chemical is called the conjugate acid of that original base.

ACID
E.g : HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 – strong acids CH3COOH – weak acid (due to its incomplete ionisation) CH3COOH (aq) CH3COO- (aq) + H+ (aq)
Properties of acids:- Sour taste- Change litmus colour from blue to red- React with certain metals- React with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce CO2 gas.- Conduct electricity- React with base forming salts and water.
CONT….
ACID Acids can be described as monobasic, dibasic or tribasic etc.
• depending on the maximum number of protons that are available for transfer in an acid-base reaction.
monobasic acids e.g. • hydrochloric HCl, nitric HNO3, ethanoic CH3COOH (the alkyl H's are not
acidic), dibasic acids e.g.
• sulphuric H2SO4, ethanedioic (COOH)2, and the three isomeric
• benzene-x,y-dicarboxylic acids (x,y = 1,1 1,2 and 1,3) C6H4(COOH)2, tribasic acids e.g.
• boric acid H3BO3, phosphoric(V) H3PO4,
• citric acid , the middle-left hydrogen of the HO-C (alcohol) is not acidic in water.
BASE
E.g. NaOH, Ba(OH2), LiOH, KOH – strong bases
NH3 – weak base
Properties of bases Bitter taste Slippery Change litmus colour from red to blues Conduct electricity React with acids to form salts and water
ACID-BASE NEUTRALISATION
Acids and bases neutralise one another forming salt and water.
Acid + base salt + water Salt – made up of a cation other than H+ and an
anion other than OH- or O2-.
E.g: HNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaNO3 (aq) +H20(l)
ACIDS & BASES STRENGTH
13
ACIDS AND BASES STRENGTH
% Ionisation of acid = [H+] X 100 initial molarity of acid
% Ionisation of base = [OH-] X 100 initial molarity of base
Acid
Strong acids are completely dissociated in water.
Weak acids only dissociate partially in water.
Strong Acids
the seven strong acids are HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO3, and HClO4.
These are strong electrolytes and exist totally as ions in aqueous solution
Strong Bases
Strong bases are the soluble hydroxides, which are the alkali metal (NaOH, KOH)and heavier alkaline earth metal hydroxides (Ca(OH)2 and Ba(OH)2).
Again, these substances dissociate completely in aqueous solution.
ELECTROLYTES
18
electrolyte any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically
conductive. STRONG ELECTROLYTE• Completely ionised in aqueous solution• Conducts a strong electric current Good conductor WEAK ELECTROLYTE• Only slightly ionised in aqueous solution• Conducts a weak electric current Weak conductor NON ELECTROLYTE• Does not ionise in aqueous solution• Remains as molecules• Does not conduct an electric current Non conductor 19
pH, pOH, [ H+] , [ OH-]

pH The pH of a solution is given by the negative logarithm of
the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+] (in mol/dm3 or M)
pH = - log [H+] pH for acidic solutions < 7, basic solutions > 7 and neutral solutions = 7
pOH = - log [OH-] pH + pOH = 14.00

Calculating the pH
pH = - log [H+](Remember that the [ ] mean Molarity)
Example: If [H+] = 1 X 10-10
pH = - log 1 X 10-10
pH = - (- 10)pH = 10
Example: If [H+] = 1.8 X 10-5
pH = - log 1.8 X 10-5
pH = - (- 4.74)pH = 4.74
Try These!
Find the pH of these:1) A 0.15 M solution of Hydrochloric acid2) A 3.00 X 10-7 M solution of Nitric acid
pH calculations – Solving for H+pH calculations – Solving for H+
If the pH of Coke is 3.12, [H+] = ???
Because pH = - log [H+] then
- pH = log [H+]
Take antilog (10x) of both sides and get
Antilog -pHAntilog -pH == [H[H++]][H[H++] = antilog -3.12 = 7.6 x 10] = antilog -3.12 = 7.6 x 10-4-4 M M *** to find antilog on your calculator, look for “Shift” or “2*** to find antilog on your calculator, look for “Shift” or “2nd nd
function” and then the log buttonfunction” and then the log button
pH calculations – Solving for H+pH calculations – Solving for H+
A solution has a pH of 8.5. What is the Molarity of hydrogen ions in the solution?
pOH Since acids and bases are opposites, pH
and pOH are opposites!
pOH does not really exist, but it is useful for changing bases to pH.
pOH looks at the perspective of a basepOH = - log [OH-]
Since pH and pOH are on opposite ends,
pH + pOH = 14

ACID-BASE TITRATION
30
ACID-BASE TITRATIONS Acid-base titration is a procedure used in quantitative analysis to
determine the molarity of acid or alkali.
Point at which the acid-base indicator changed colour is the end-point.
Equivalence point is the point where equal mole of H3O+ ions and OH- ions in the titration flask. At this point, all acid has been neutralized by base and contain only salt and water.

MOLARITY• The number of moles of solute per
liter of solution
MOLARITY, M = NO OF MOLE OF SOLUTE, g
VOLUME OF SOLUTION, L
CONCENTRATION = molarity x molar mass
Begin with a balanced equation for the reaction: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
na = 1 nb = 1 (mole ratios of acid and base)
Mole = Molarity X volumeFor the acid: na = MaVa
For the base: nb = MbVb
na : nb (stoichiometry mole ratio)
MaVa : MbVb
Volumetric analysis
Ma Va / Mb Vb = na / nb
