For reaction between a strong acid and strong base:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l)
For acid dissociation:
HA(g or l) + H2O(l) A-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
In aqueous solution, the H+ ions bind covalently towater to form solvated hydronium ions.

The Classical (Arrhenius) Definition of Acids and Bases
An acid is a substance that has H in its formula and dissociates in water
to yield H3O+.
A base is a substance that has OH in its formula and dissociates in water
to yield OH-.
Arrhenius acids contain covalently bonded H atoms that ionize in water.
Neutralization occurs when the H+ ion from the acid and the OH- ionfrom the base combine to form water.
H+(aq) + OH- (aq) H2O(l) ∆Horxn = -55.9 kJ

Defining the acid dissociation constant
Weak acids dissociate very slightly into ions in water.
Strong acids dissociate completely into ions in water.

SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.1
SOLUTION:
Classifying acid and base strength from the chemical formula
PROBLEM: Classify each of the following compounds as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base or weak base.
(a) H2SeO4 (b) (CH3)2CHCOOH (c) KOH (d) (CH3)2CHNH2
PLAN: Pay attention to the text definitions of acids and bases. Look at O for acids and for the -COOH group; watch for amine groups and cations in bases.
(a) strong acid - H2SeO4 - the number of oxygen atoms
exceeds the number of ionizable protons by a factor of 2.(b) weak acid - (CH3)2CHCOOH is an organic acid having a -COOH group
(a carboxylic acid).
(c) strong base - KOH is a Group 1A hydroxide.
(d) weak base - (CH3)2CHNH2 has a lone pair of electrons on the
nitrogen and is an amine.

SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.2 Calculating [H3O+] and [OH-] in an aqueous
solution
PROBLEM: A research chemist adds a measured amount of HCl gas to pure water at 25 oC and obtains a solution with [H3O
+] = 3.0 x 10-4 M.
Calculate [OH-]. Is the solution neutral, acidic or basic?
SOLUTION:
PLAN: Use the Kw at 25 oC and the [H3O+] to find the corresponding [OH-].
Kw = 1.0 x 10-14 = [H3O+] [OH-]
[OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14/3.0 x 10-4 = 3.3 x 10-11 M
[H3O+] > [OH-]; the solution is acidic.

SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.3 Calculating [H3O+], pH, [OH-], and pOH
PROBLEM: In a restoration project, a conservator prepares copper-plate etching solutions by diluting concentrated nitric acid, HNO3, to 2.0 M, 0.30 M,
and 0.0063 M HNO3. Calculate [H3O+], pH, [OH-], and pOH of the
three solutions at 25 oC.
SOLUTION:
PLAN: HNO3 is a strong acid so [H3O+] = [HNO3]. Use Kw to find the [OH-]
and then convert to pH and pOH.
For 2.0 M HNO3, [H3O+] = 2.0 M and -log [H3O
+] = -0.30 = pH
[OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14/2.0 = 5.0 x 10-15 M; pOH = 14.30
[OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14/0.30 = 3.3 x 10-14 M; pOH = 13.48
For 0.3 M HNO3, [H3O+] = 0.30 M and -log [H3O
+] = 0.52 = pH
[OH-] = Kw/ [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14/6.3 x 10-3 = 1.6 x 10-12 M; pOH = 11.80
For 0.0063 M HNO3, [H3O+] = 0.0063 M and -log [H3O
+] = 2.20 = pH

The Brønsted-Lowry Definition of Acids and Bases
An acid is a proton donor, that is, any species that donates an H+ ion.All Arrhenius acids are Brønsted-Lowry acids.
A base is a proton acceptor, that is, any species
that accepts an H+ ion.
In the Brønsted-Lowry definition, an acid-base reaction is a protontransfer process.

An acid reactant produces a base product and the two constitute an acid-base conjugate pair.
The Conjugate Acid-Base Pair
H2S + NH3 HS- + NH4+
H2S and HS- are a conjugate acid-base pair.
HS- is the conjugate base of the acid H2S.
NH3 and NH4+ are a conjugate acid-base pair.
NH4+ is the conjugate acid of the base NH3.
Every acid has a conjugate base, and every base has a conjugate acid.

base that is lower on the list because this combination produces a weaker
conjugate base and a weaker conjugate acid.
A weaker acid has a strongerconjugate base.

SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.6Find the Ka of a weak acid from the pH of its
solution
PROBLEM: Phenylacetic acid (C6H5CH2COOH, denoted as HPAc) builds up in
the blood of people afflicted with phenylketonuria, an inherited genetic disorder that, if left untreated, causes mental retardation and death. A study of the acid shows that the pH of a 0.12 M solution of HPAc is 2.60. What is the Ka of phenylacetic acid?
PLAN: Write the dissociation equation. Use pH and solution concentration to find Ka.
Ka = [H3O+][PAc-]
[HPAc]
Assumptions: At a pH of 2.60, [H3O+]HPAc >> [H3O
+]water
[PAc-]eq ≈ [H3O+]eq, and since HPAc is weak, [HPAc]eq ≈
[HPAc]initial = [HPAc]initial - [HPAc]dissociation SOLUTION: HPAc(aq) + H2O(l) H3O

acid whose salts are used to retard mold growth in foods. What is
the [H3O+] of a 0.10 M aqueous solution of HPr (Ka = 1.3 x 10-5)?
SOLUTION:
PLAN: Write the dissociation equation and Ka expression; make assumptions about concentration that are valid; substitute.

Since successive acid dissociation constants typically differby several orders of magnitude, pH calculations for aqueous
solutions of the free acids can be simplified
by neglecting H3O+ generated by subsequent dissociations.
Why are the Ka values successively smaller as more H+ ions
dissociate from a polyprotic acid like phosphoric acid?

SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.8 Calculating equilibrium concentrations for a polyprotic acid
PROBLEM: Ascorbic acid (H2C6H6O6; abbreviated H2Asc), known as vitamin
C, is a diprotic acid (Ka1 = 1.0 x 10-5 and Ka2 = 5 x 10-12) found in
citrus fruit. Calculate [H2Asc], [HAsc-], [Asc2-], and the pH of a
0.050 M aqueous solution of H2Asc.
SOLUTION:
PLAN: Write out expressions for both dissociations and make assumptions.
Ka1 >> Ka2 so the first dissociation produces virtually all of the H3O+.
Ka1 is small, thus [H2Asc]initial ≈ [H2Asc]eq
After finding concentrations of the various species for the first dissociation, use them as initial concentrations for the second dissociation.

We can ignore the hydronium ion generated by second ionization.
Also: 7.1 x 10-4/0.050 x 100 = 1.4% This value is < 5%, thus the assumption made in the analysis of the first

SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.11 Predicting the relative acidity of salt solutions
PROBLEM: Predict whether aqueous solutions of the following compounds are acidic, basic, or neutral (write an equation for the reaction of the appropriate ion with water to explain pH effect).
(a) potassium perchlorate, KClO4 (b) sodium benzoate, C6H5COONa
(c) chromium trichloride, CrCl3 (d) sodium hydrogen sulfate, NaHSO4
SOLUTION:
PLAN: Consider the acid-base nature of the anions and cations. Strong acid-strong base combinations produce a neutral solution; strong acid-weak base, acidic; weak acid-strong base, basic.
(a) The ions are K+ and ClO4-, which come from a strong base
(KOH) and a strong acid (HClO4). The salt solution will be neutral.(b) Na+ comes from the strong base NaOH while C6H5COO- is the anion of a
weak organic acid. The salt solution will be basic.(c) Cr3+ is a small cation with a large + charge, so its hydrated form will react
with water to produce H3O+. Cl- comes from the strong acid HCl. The
salt solution will be acidic.(d) Na+ comes from a strong base. HSO4
- can react with water to form H3O+.
The salt solution will be acidic.

Salts of Weakly Acidic Cations and Weakly Basic Anions
Both components react with water!
Acidity is determined by the relative acid strength and base strength of the separated ions.
example: NH4HS
NH4+(aq) + H2O(l) NH3(aq) + H3O
+(aq)
HS-(aq) + H2O(l) H2S(aq) + OH-(aq)
Ka(NH4+) = 5.7 x 10-10 Kb(HS-) = 1 x 10-7
Since Kb > Ka, the solution is basic.

SAMPLE PROBLEM 18.12 Predicting the relative acidity of salt solutions from Ka and Kb of the ions
PROBLEM: Determine whether an aqueous solution of zinc formate, Zn(HCOO)2, is acidic, basic, or neutral.
SOLUTION:
PLAN: Both Zn2+ and HCOO- come from weak conjugates. In order to find the relatively acidity, write the dissociation reactions and use the information in Tables 18.2 and 18.7.
Ka Zn(H2O)62+ = 1 x 10-9
Ka HCOOH = 1.8 x 10-4 ; Kb = Kw/Ka = 1.0 x 10-14/1.8 x 10-4 = 5.6 x 10-11
Ka for Zn(H2O)62+ > Kb HCOO-; the solution is acidic.
Zn(H2O)62+(aq) + H2O(l) Zn(H2O)5OH+(aq) + H3O
+(aq)
HCOO-(aq) + H2O(l) HCOOH(aq) + OH-(aq)

The Leveling Effect
In water, the strongest acid possible is H3O+ and the
strongest base possible is OH-.
Any acid stronger than H3O+ donates its proton to H2O, and
any base stronger than OH- accepts a proton from H2O; thus,water exerts a leveling effect (levels the strengths of all strong acids and bases).
To rank strong acids: must dissolve in a solvent that is a weakerbase than water (i.e., one that accepts their protons less readily).
HCl(g) + CH3COOH(l) Cl-(acet) + CH3COOH2+(acet)
HBr(g) + CH3COOH(l) Br-(acet) + CH3COOH2+(acet)
HI(g) + CH3COOH(l) I-(acet) + CH3COOH2+(acet)
KHI > KHBr > KHCl
