SOME PROPERTIES OF ACIDS
Produce H+ (H3O+) ions in water. The Hydronium Ion (H3O+) is an H+ (proton)
attached to a water molecule. Taste Sour. React with certain metals to produce H2 gas
and a salt. Salt – ionic-metal or a positive polyatomic ion
bonded with a negative ion other than OH-
Example: MgCl2, NH4Cl
Aqueous solutions of acids conduct electricity. Electrolytes – the greater the concentration of ions
in solution, the greater the electrical conductivity. Strong Acids & weak Acids
SOME PROPERTIES OF ACIDS
React with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce carbon dioxide gas.

pH is less than 7 pH scale expresses the amount of H+ as a number
from 0 to 14 pH of 0 is strongly acidic and has the highest amount of H+
ions, pH of 7 is neutral, pH of 14 is strongly basic and has the fewest H+ ions.

EXPLAINING ACIDS AND BASES
There have been several attempts to explain the properties of acids and bases.
These explanations define how acids and bases behave.
There are three such definitions. Arrhenius Theory Brønsted – Lowry Lewis Acids & Bases
ARRHENIUS THEORY
Acids – produce H+ ions (or hydronium ions H3O+) as the only positive ion.
HCl(l) Cl- + H+
A substance with a carboxyl group(COOH) looks like a base when you look at the chemical formula but it is an acid. (Acetic Acid = HC2H3O2 = CH3COOH)
CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H+
ARRHENIUS THEORY
Bases – produce OH- ions (or hydroxide ions). Some bases DO NOT have hydroxide ions
attached. Amines – organic compounds containing C and N.
Amines are bases even though they do not have an hydroxide ion. Instead they react with water to produce the OH- ion.
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-
~Caution~ Alcohols – contain an –OH but ARE NOT bases.
Example: CH3OH (hydroxyl group on a carbon chain)
TYPES OF ACIDS AND BASES
Acids Monoprotic: produce
one H+ ion. HCl
Diprotic: produce two H+ ions. H2SO4
Triprotic: produce three H+ ions. H3PO4
Bases Monohydroxy:
produce one OH- ion. NaOH
Dihydroxy: produce two OH- ions. Ba(OH)2
Trihydroxy: produce three OH- ions. Al(OH)3
STRENGTH OF ACIDS AND BASES
Determined by the amount of Ionization. Strong Acids
100% dissociation in water. Great conductors of electricity.
HNO3(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + NO3
-(aq)
HI, HCl, HBr, H2SO4, and HClO4 are strong acids.
Weak Acids Much less than 100% dissociation. Poor conductors of electricity.
CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+
(aq)
Acetic Acid(CH3COOH)
STRENGTH OF ACIDS AND BASES

NaOH(aq) Na+(aq) + OH-
(aq)
KOH, Ca(OH)2, Group 1 or 2 metals with hydroxide!!
Weak Bases Much less than 100% dissociation (ionization). Poor conductors of electricity.
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+
(aq) + OH-(aq)
Ammonia (NH3)
BRØNSTED-LOWRY ACIDS AND BASES
Acids – Proton Donors According to the Brønsted-Lowy concept, an acid
is the chemical species that donates the proton in a proton transfer reaction.
Bases – Proton Acceptors According to the Brønsted-Lowy concept, a base
is the chemical species that accepts the proton in a proton transfer reaction.
A “proton” is really just a hydrogen that has lost its electron…H+
CONJUGATE PAIRS
The Brønsted-Lowry concept defines a species as an acid or a base according to its function in the proton-transfer reaction.
Consider the Reaction of NH3 + H2O
In the forward reaction, NH3 accepts a proton donated by H2O. Thus, NH3 is a base and H2O is an acid.
CONJUGATE PAIRS
In the reverse reaction, NH4+ donates a
proton to OH- which accepts it. Thus, NH4+ is
acid and OH- is the base.
CONJUGATE PAIRS
The species NH4+ and NH3 are a conjugate acid-
base pair. A conjugate acid-base pair consists of two species in an
acid-base reaction, one acid and one base, that differ by the loss or gain of a proton.
NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3
NH3 is the conjugate base of NH4+
The species OH- and H2O are a conjugate-acid base pair as well. OH- is the conjugate base of H2O H2O is the conjugate acid of OH-
CONJUGATE PAIRS…PRACTICE PROBLEMS
Label the Acid, Base, Conjugate Acid, Conjugate Base in each reaction.
STRENGTH OF ACID-BASE CONJUGATE PAIRS
Strong Acids (Proton Donors) have weak conjugate bases.
Strong Bases (Proton Acceptors) have weak conjugate acids.
Strong acids and strong bases are always on the same side of an equation.
An acid can donate it H+ to any base EXCEPT it’s conjugate base.
Example: H3PO4 can donate to F-, but not to PO43-

AMPHOTERIC (AMPHIPROTIC) SPECIES
Substances that act as both an acid or a base.
Depends on chemical environment. Examples: H2O, HSO4
-, HS-
In the reaction between NH3 and H2O, water is an acid. In the reaction between HNO2 and H2O, water is a
base. Water (H2O) is an amphoteric substance.
LEWIS ACIDS AND BASES
Lewis Acid – a substance that ACCEPTS an electron(e-) pair.
Lewis Base – a substance that DONATES an electron(e-) pair.
Formation of the Hydronium Ion is an excellent example.
REACTIONS INVOLVING ACIDS
Steps…1) Check the metal on Table J. If it is above H2 proceed.
2) Write H2 as a product.
3) Combine the metal with the negative (-) ion to form an ionic salt. (write the metal first, followed by the negative ion.)
4) Assign charges5) Criss Cross, if necessary6) Balance the equation.

1. HCl + Sr __________ + __________
2. H3PO4 + Zn __________ + __________
3. HNO3 + Au __________ + __________
4. HC2H3O2 + K __________ + __________
5. HF + Cu __________ + __________
NEUTRALIZATION
Acid + Base Salt + H2O Steps…
1) Form water, H2O.
2) Get rid of all H+ on the acid, and all OH- on the base.
3) Write the metal 1st and the negative(-) ion 2nd.
4) Assign Charges.

SPECTATOR IONS
Ions found on both sides of the equation that are not involved in making water. Not part of the Net Arrhenius Equation.
Spectator Ions for the previous example…
CH3COO-, Na+
NET ARRHENIUS EQUATION
Does NOT include spectator ions!!
Net Arrhenius Equation is always…
H+ + OH- H2O
THE PH SCALE
The pH Scale expresses the strength of acids and bases. Logarithmic Scale – one jump on
the scale represents a tenfold change in [H+]
[ ] = concentration (usually Molarity)
pH > 7 is a Base pH = 7 is Neutral pH < 7 is an Acid
As pH ↑ [H+] ↓
The stronger the acid the more H+ ions it produces.
The stronger the base the more OH- ions it produces.
PH EXAMPLES A solution with a pH of 1 has how many times the
amount of H+ compared to a solution with a ph of 6?
A solution with a pH of 2 has how many times the amount of H+ compared to a solution with a pH of 5?
If the [H+] increases, the [OH-] decreases by the same amount. If the pH changes from 8 to 13, the [H+] decreases _______
times and the [OH-] increases _______ times. If the pH changes from 6 to 2, the [H+] increases _______
times and the [OH-] decreases _______ times.
CALCULATING THE PH OF A SUBSTANCE
pH = -log [H+]Recall that the [ ] mean concentration (usually Molarity)
Example: If [H+] = 1.0 x 10-10 what is the pH?pH = -log [H+]pH = -log (1.0 x 10-10)pH = 10
Example: If [H+] = 1.8 x 10-5 what is the pH?pH = -log [H+]pH = -log (1.0 x 10-5)pH = 4.74
CALCULATING THE PH OF A SUBSTANCE
Find the pH of these:
1) A 0.15M solution of HCl.
2) A 3.00 x 10-7M solution of HNO3
MORE ABOUT WATER
H2O can function as both an ACID and a BASE. Amphoteric substance
In pure water there can be Autoionization.
Equilibrium Constant for water = Kw
Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14 at 25oC In a neutral solution [H3O+] = [OH-] So… [H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-7
POH
Strong Acids and Strong Bases are opposites. pH and pOH are opposites as well.
pOH scale does not really exist, but it is useful for determining the pH of a base.
pOH = -log [OH-]
Since pH and pOH are on opposite ends,
pH + pOH = 14
[H30+], [OH-], PH AND POH…PROBLEMS The pH of rainwater collected in a certain region of the
northeastern United States on a particular day was 4.82; What is the H+ ion concentration of the rainwater?
The OH- ion concentration of a blood sample is 2.5 x10-7 M. What is the pH of the blood?
GENERAL SUMMARY OF FORMULAS
pH = -log [H+]
pOH = -log [OH-]
[H+][OH-] = 1.0 x10-14
[H+] = 10-pH
[OH-] = 10-pH
pH + pOH = 14
CALCULATING [H30+], [OH-], PH AND POH
Problem 1: A chemist dilutes concentrated hydrochloric acid to make two solutions: (a) 3.0M and (b) 0.0024M. Calculate the [H3O+], pH, [OH-] and pOH of the two solutions at 25oC.
CALCULATING [H30+], [OH-], PH AND POH
Problem 2: What is the [H30+], [OH-] and pOH of a solution with pH = 3.67? Is this an acid, base, or neutral?
CALCULATING [H30+], [OH-], PH AND POH
Problem 3: What is the [H30+], [OH-] and pOH of a solution with pH = 8.05? Is this an acid, base, or neutral?
USING TABLE M
Used to approximate the pH of a substance.
Indicators tend to have a distinct color at the ends of their useful pH range. So a solution with methyl orange indicator is red
at a pH of 0. As a base is added pH begins to rise. At a pH of about 3.2 the red color begins to
change yellow but you first enter a intermediate color region that is a mixture of these two colors.
At a pH of about 4.4 the intermediate color region ends and the solution is now completely yellow all the way through to pH of 14.
USING TABLE M…QUESTIONS What color will bromcresol green
be in an acid with a pH of 2.2?
What color will bromcresol green be in a base with a pH of 10.0?
Can bromcresol green determine whether an unknown substance is an acid or base? Why or why not?
What is the pH range for a substance that turns methyl orange yellow and bromothymol blue yellow?
TITRATION
Process of adding measured volumes of an acid or a base of known concentration to an acid or base of unknown concentration until neutralization occurs.
Data gathered from a titration experiment is used to calculate the concentration (Molarity) of a solution.
Knowing the volumes of the acid and the base used in the titration, together with the known concentration of the standard solution, it is possible to calculate the concentration of the unknown solution.
TITRATION FORMULA
#MAVA = #MBVB
# = the number of H+ or OH- produced per mole of acid or base.
M = MolarityV = VolumeSubscriptsA or B = Acid or Base respectively.
Example: For H2CO3 you would plug in 2 for the # on the acid side.
TITRATION…PRACTICE PROBLEM 1 35.6 mL of NaOH is neutralized with 25.2 mL of 0.0998
M HCl by titration to an equivalence point. What is the concentration of the NaOH?
#MAVA = #MBVB
(1)(0.0998 M)(25.2 mL) = (1)MB(35.6 mL)
MB = 0.071 M
