Conjugate Acid/Conjugate Base Pair
CH3COOH + CH3NH2
CH3COO-
+ CH3NH3+
Aceitic acid is an Acid since it donates a proton; the acetate ion is a conjugate base because it
can accept a proton to become aceitic acid
CH3COOH + H2O
CH3COO- + H3O+ Ka = 1.75 x 10-5
CH3COO- + H2O
CH3COOH + OH- Kb = Kw/Ka = 5.71 x 10-10
Methylamine is a Base because it accepts a proton; methlyammonium ion is a conjugate acid
because it can donate a proton to become methylamine
CH3NH2 + H2O
CH3NH3+ + OH- Kb = 4.4 x 10-4
CH3NH3+ + H2O
CH3NH2 + H3O+ Ka = Kw/Kb = 2.3 x 10-11
Therefore, Kw = Ka*Kb
Equilibrium and Acid/Base Chemistry
1. Strong Acids and Strong Bases completely dissociate i.e. large K a. [H+] = [HA]before dissociation since HA completely dissociates b. pH = -log[H+]
2. We can write K for weak acids and bases a. [H+] not equal to [HA] b. need to find [H+] with K c. pH = -log[H+]
REMEMBER:
If you have [H+] and need [OH-] then [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14/[H+]
If you have [OH-] and need [H+] then [H+] = 1.0 x 10-14/[OH-]
If you have pH and need [H+] then [H+] = 10-pH
If you have pOH and need [OH-] then [OH-] = 10-pOH
pH + pOH = 14
Kw = Ka x Kb
Ka = Kw/Kb Kb= Kw/Ka Kw = 1.0 x 10-14
Ka = weak acid; acetic acid; carboxylic acids
1. Weak acid
conjugate base + H+
2. HA + H2O
A- + H3O+
3. Ka = [A-][H3O+] ; [H+] ................
