IONIZATION OF WATER
Self-Ionization of Water
H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Base Acid Conj. Acid Conj. base
We call the equilibrium constant the ion-product constant, Kw.
Kw = [H3O+][OH−] At 25°C, Kw = 1.0 × 10−14
As temperature increases, the value of Kw increases.
Solutions can be characterized as
Acidic: [H3O+] > 1.0 × 10−7 M
Neutral: [H3O+] = 1.0 × 10−7 M
Basic: [H3O+] < 1.0 × 10−7 M

EXAMPLE: CALCULATION OF CONCENTRATIONS
Calculate the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentration at 25°C in
a. 0.10 M HCl
b. 1.4 × 10−4 M Mg(OH)2
Solution:
a. When HCl ionizes, it gives H+ and Cl−. So [H+] = [Cl−] = [HCl] = 0.10 M.
b. When Mg(OH)2 ionizes, it gives Mg2+ and 2 OH−. So 2[OH−] = 2(1.4 × 10−4 M) = 2.8 × 10−4 M.

CALCULATING
pH = –log[H3O+]
And inverse:
• When pH = 7, the solution is neutral ([H3O+] = 1.0 × 10−7 M).
• When pH < 7.00, the solution is acidic ([H3O+] > 1.0 × 10−7 M).
• When pH > 7.00, the solution is basic ([H3O+] < 1.0 × 10−7 M).

pH
, AND KW
• pOH can be calculated just like pH.
• KW is the hydronium ion and hydroxide ion concentrations; so pKW is the addition of pH and pOH.

STRONG ACIDS AND BASES
• All strong acids and bases ionize completely; so their concentrations can be used to calculate the pH and pOH.
• For diprotic acids, e.g. sulfuric acid only the first ionization reactions is measured; on the contrary dihydroxide bases will ionize to give two hydroxides in solution.
Dr. Sapna Gupta/Acids Bases pH 9
EXAMPLE
• What is the pH of a 0.057 M solution of HBr?
Solution: HBr ionizes completely so the conc. of the acid can be used as H3O+.
Note: very low pH – strong acid.
• What is the pOH of a solution of 0.034 M solution of Ca(OH)2?
Solution: Ca(OH)2 ionizes to give 2 mols of OH-, so conc. has to be doubled.
