Agenda Catalyst and Homework Review pH scale Foldable and White

Board Practice Practice: pH WS Exit Slip: pH and strong/weak

acid/base

Take out your homework please.

Exit Slip: Answers Standard 5a The neutralization of any strong acid and strong base

produces mostly (a) H2O molecules (c) H3O+ and OH- ions

(b) H3O+ ions (d) OH- ions

Why? Example: NaOH + HCl NaCl + H2O This was the catalyst Wednesday.

A property listed below that is not characteristic of an acid is

(a) a sour taste. (c) the ability to conduct an electric current.

(b) a slippery feel. (d) reactivity with metals.  Why? This is a property of a base. This is in your

notes.

Exit Slip answers continuedBoth acids and bases are electrolytes. This means…(a) they are the main ingredients in sports drinks.(b) they produce electricity and will shock you.(c) they conduct electricity when dissolved in water.(d) none of the above. Why? This is the definition of electrolyte.

List two examples of acids and two examples of bases that we may find at home.Acids: lemons, tomatoes, coffee, orange juice, stomach acid, etc Bases: soap, cleaning products with ammonia, baking soda, antacid, drain cleaner etc. 

Exit Slip Review Standard 5b Pure ammonia that is not in aqueous solution does not form

hydroxide ions. Why is pure ammonia considered a base using the BrØnsted-Lowry definition?

(a) The ammonia molecule accepts protons from other molecules. (b) The ammonia molecule donates protons to other molecules. (c) The ammonia molecule reacts with sulfuric acid. (d) The ammonia molecule donates a hydroxide group to other

molecules. Why? Bases are proton acceptors. They gain or take a proton.   A substance that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in

water is classified as (a) an acid. (c) a salt. (b) a base. (d) an electrolyte. Why? Acids are proton (H+) donors or givers or producers.

Exit Slip Review Continued In the reaction H3O+ + CO3

2– → HCO3– + H2O, which

compound acts as the base? (a) H3O+ (c) HCO3

–

(b) CO32– (d) H2O

 Why? This compound takes a H+ from the H3O+ to form HCO3

– . Substances that take protons are bases.

The conjugate acid of the chloride ion, Cl-, is (a) Cl2 (c) H+

(b) HCl (d) ClO Why? A conjugate acid is formed by adding a proton

(H+). Cl- + H+ → HCl

Homework Review page 566 #1, 4, 5, 18, 19, 21 1. A strong acid dissociates completely in

solution. A weak acid dissociates only to a small extent in solution. (See pp. 532)

  4. The ammonium ion NH4

+ is the conjugate acid to the base ammonia (NH3). (See pp. 537.)

  5. Water is considered amphoteric because it

can act either as an acid, donating a proton, or as a base, accepting a proton. (See pp. 534 for examples of water acting as a base and pp. 536 for examples of water acting as an acid.)

 

Homework Review pp. 538 # 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13 18. Weak acids and weak bases are poor electrical

conductors or electrolytes because they do not fully dissociate in solution. Therefore, there are not many ions in solution that will conduct electricity. (See pp. 531-532, 534.)

  19. The strength of an acid is a measure of whether or

not the acid fully dissociates in solution. Strong acids fully dissociate and weak acids do not. The concentration of an acid is a measure of the amount of acid in a certain volume of solution. (See pp. 532 and notes on concentration.)

  21. HCN + H2O è CN- + H3O+ acid base conjugate conjugate base acid

pH Foldable The pH scale: pH is a value used to express

the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. pH stands for “power of hydrogen.” The pH scale is a negative logarithmic scale. This means that a low pH reflects a high

hydronium ion concentration.

Alkaline means base.

How does pH and [H3O+] relate to pOH and [OH-]?

When the concentration of hydronium ions increases, the concentration of hydroxide ions decreases.

In fact, if we know the pH or the [H3O+] of a solution, we can determine the pOH and the [OH-]. Here’s how:

pH + pOH = 14 [OH-][H3O+] = 10-14

pH + pOH = 14 [OH-][H3O+] = 10-14

More Acidic

More Basic

1. The color of a solution identifies if it is an acid, base, or neutral solution.

A. True B. False C. Pink are base and clear are acid

2. Which solution is basic?

A B CD. More than one E. None

3. Which solution is acidic?

A B CD. More than one E. Difficult to tell

4. Which solution is basic?

A B CD. More than one E. None

5. Which solution is acidic?

A B CD. More than one E. None

6. How will adding water effect the pH?

A. Increase the pH

B. Decrease the pH

C. No pH change

A: more water lessens the acidity, so pH goes up

7. How will equal amount of water effect the pH?

A. Increase the pHB. Decrease the

pHC. The pH will be

cut in halfD. No pH change

B: more water lessens the basicity , so pH goes down, from 10 to 9.7, but not by 2 (log scale)

8. What is the order from most acidic to most basic?

A B C

A.A B CB.A C BC.B A CD.C B A E.C A B

9. What is the order from most acidic to most basic?

pH Foldable: Back Left of WS Calculate pH from [H3O+]

pH = -log [H3O+]

Ex: What is the pH of a 0.0001 M HCl solution? Step 1: Convert to scientific notation

0.0001 = 1.0 x 10-4

Step 2: Use the pH equation and your pH scale

pH = -log [1.0 x 10-4]

= - (-4)

= 4

pH Foldable: Back Middle of WS Calculate pH from pOH

pH + pOH = 14Ex: What is the pH of a solution of ammonia with a pOH of 5?Step 1: plug the given into the equation.

pH + 5 = 14Step 2: Solve for the unknown

pH + 5 = 14pH + 5 -5 = 14 -5

pH = 9

pH Foldable: Back Right of WS Calculate [H3O+] from pH

[H3O+] = 10-pH

Ex: What is the hydronium ion concentration of a solution with a pH of 3?

Step 1: plug the given into the equation.[H3O+] = 10-3

Step 2: Convert to scientific notation.10-3 = 1.0 x 10-3
