equilibrium does NOT mean “half this & half that”
Le Chatelier’s principle:
When a system at equilibrium isdisturbed, it shifts to a new equili-
brium that counteracts the disturbance.

pH CalculationsRecall that the hydronium ion (H3O+) is the speciesformed when hydrogen ion (H+) attaches to water(H2O). OH– is the hydroxide ion.
For this class, in any aqueous sol’n,
[ H3O+ ] [ OH– ] = 1 x 10–14
( or [ H+ ] [ OH– ] = 1 x 10–14 )
…so whether we’re counting front wheels (i.e., H+)or trikes (i.e., H3O+) doesn’t much matter.
H+ H3O+
The number offront wheels is the
same as the numberof trikes…
If hydronium ion concentration = 4.5 x 10–9 M,find hydroxide ion concentration.

acidosis: blood pH is too low (too acidic)
Maintain blood pH with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
More on buffers:
-- a combination of a weak acid and a salt
-- together, these substances resist changes in pH
1. 2. **Conclusion:
If you add acid… (e.g., HCl H+ + Cl–)
1. 2. **Conclusion:
If you add base…(e.g., KOH K+ + OH–)
(A) weak acid: CH3COOH CH3COO– + H+ (lots) (little) (little)
(B) salt: NaCH3COO Na+ CH3COO–
(little) (lots) (lots) +
large amt. of CH3COO– (from (B)) consumes
extra H+, so (A) goes pH remains relatively unchanged.
pH remains relatively unchanged.
extra OH– grabs H+ from the large amt. of
CH3COOH and forms CH3COO– and H2O

At this point, the solution
contains water, Cl-,
