Ch 19: ACIDS, BASES AND NEUTRALIZATION

ACIDS:

substances that give H+ (a proton) to water

pH < 7

[H+] > [OH-] [ ] means “the molarity of..”

Review: formula writing for acids

binary acids: hydro_stem of nonmental__ ic acid

e.g.: HCl _hydrochloric acid_ HBr ___ hydrobromic acid __

H2S __ hydrosulfuric acid __ H3N ____ hydronitric acid ____

ternary acids: “ate becomes ic” and “ite becomes ous”

_ate ( _ic

e.g. sulfuric acid (sulfate) ______ H2SO4_____________________

nitric acid (nitrate) ______ HNO3_____________________

HC2H3O2 _______acetic acid_________

_ite ( _ous

e.g. sulfurous acid (sulfite) _______ H2SO3_________________

nitrous acid (nitrite) _______ HNO2____________________

H3PO3 _______phosphorous acid ________

Strong Acids:

HCl – hydrochloric acid

HBr – hydrobromic acid

HI – iodic acid

HNO3 – nitric acid

H2SO4 – sulfuric acid

HClO4 – perchloric acid

Weak Acids:

e.g. vinegar (acetic acid, HC2H3O2)

Dissociation of Strong Acids Dissociate 100% into positive and negative ions

HCl ( H+ + Cl-

H2SO4 ( 2 H+ + SO42-

Dissociation of Weak Acids

HC2H3O2 (

Weak acids do not dissociate completely. Instead they form an equilibrium. A double arrow is used to show this.

HC2H3O2 [pic] H+ + C2H3O2-

BASES

substances that dissociate to form OH- ions, or remove H+ from water to make OH- ions

pH > 7

[OH-] > [H+]

STRONG BASES: Dissociate 100% into positive and negative ions

Group I and II hydroxides Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2

NaOH

Ba(OH)2

WEAK BASES:

NH3

Dissociation of Strong Bases

NaOH ( Na+ + OH-

Ba(OH)2 ( Ba+2 + 2 OH-

Dissociation of Weak Bases

NH3 + H2O [pic] NH4+ + OH-

Weak bases take hydrogen ions (H+) from water, leaving OH- which makes the solution basic. This is an equilibrium.

Dissociation of Water:

H2O [pic] H+ + OH- water itself ionizes into H+ and OH-, but only to a very small extent. All water based solutions have H+ and OH-. If there is more H+ the solution is acidic. If there is more OH- it is basic.

pH

pH = -log [H+] pOH = -log[OH-]

If [H+] = 10-3 M, pH = 3 pOH = 14 - pH

pH + pOH = 14 [H+] x [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 M

Acids: pH < 7 Bases: pH > 7 Neutral: pH = 7

Safety: Acids and Bases are caustic. If you spill an acid in lab, neutralize with baking soda before cleaning up with water. If you spill a base in lab, neutralize with a weak vinegar solution before cleaning up with water. If you spill and acid OR base on your skin, flush with plenty of water (DO NOT neutralize…….why?).

b) What volume of 0.01 M HCl is needed to completely react with 2 g magnesium ribbon?

RXN: ______ Mg + 2 HCl ( MgCl2 + H2_____________________________

2 g Mg x 1 mol Mg x 2 mol HCl = 0.165 mol HCl

24.3 g Mg 1 mol Mg

M = mol so volume = mol = 0.165 = 16.5 mL HCl

L M 0.01

c) A student spills 5 mL of sulfuric acid on the lab table. To neutralize the acid, he pours sodium hydroxide on it and forms sodium sulfate and water. If the initial pH of the sulfuric acid is 2, what mass of water was formed?

RXN: ____ H2SO4 + 2 NaOH ( Na2SO4 + 2 H2O ____________

pH = 2 , so M = 0.01 M

M = mol so mol = M x Volume = 0.01 x 0.005 = 0.00005 mol H2SO4

L

0.00005 mol H2SO4 x 2 mol H2O x = 18 g H2O = 0.0018 g H2O

1 mol H2SO4 1 mol H2O

TITRATION

A method of finding the molarity of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known molarity.

# H’s in solution = # OH’s in solution

(# H in Acid) x (Macid) x (Vacid) = (# OH in Base) x (Mbase) x (Vbase)

Titration Problems:

a. What volume of 0.15 M sodium hydroxide solution is needed to react with 12.2 mL of 0.350 M hydrochloric acid?

(# H in Acid) x (Macid) x (Vacid) = (# OH in Base) x (Mbase) x (Vbase)

1 x 12.2 x 0.350 = 1 x 0.15 x V

V = 28.5 mL

b. What volume of 0.250 M nitric acid is needed to react with 20.5 mL of 0.10 M lithium hydroxide?

(# H in Acid) x (Macid) x (Vacid) = (# OH in Base) x (Mbase) x (Vbase)

1 x V x 0.250 = 1 x 0.10 x 20.5

V = 8.2 mL

c. Find the molarity of an unmarked hydrochloric acid solution if 14.51 mL of the solution reacts completely with 12.24 mL of 0.030 M sodium hydroxide solution.

(# H in Acid) x (Macid) x (Vacid) = (# OH in Base) x (Mbase) x (Vbase)

1 x 14.51 x M = 1 x 0.030 x 12.24

M = 0.025 M

d. Find the molarity of a nitric acid solution if 10.4 mL of the solution is needed to react with 25.0 mL of 0.45 M barium hydroxide.

(# H in Acid) x (Macid) x (Vacid) = (# OH in Base) x (Mbase) x (Vbase)

1 x 10.4 x M = 25 x 0.45 x 2 (2 because Ba(OH)2 has two hydroxides)

M = 2.16 M
