Properties of Acids and Bases
Acids• taste sour• conduct electricity in aqueous solution• turn litmus red• react with carbonates to produce
CO2(g)• react with active metals to produce
H2(g)
Examples of Acids
• citric acid• ascorbic acid• lactic acid• carbonic acid• muriatic acid (aka:
hydrochloric acid)
Bases
• feel slippery• taste bitter
• turn litmus blue• do not react with carbonates or with active
metals
Examples of Bases• drain cleaner and oven cleaner
(NaOH)• baking soda
(NaHCO3)• washing soda
(Na2CO3)• glass cleaner
(ammonia, NH3(aq))• Na3PO4 (aka “TSP”)
Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases
Acids ionize in water to produce hydronium, H3O+(aq), ions.
eg. This is an ionization reaction.HCl(g) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)
HCl(aq)
writes this equation as:
HCl(g) H+(aq) + Cl−(aq)NB. The H+ ion does not exist as such in aq
solution.The hydronium ion is a hydrated proton, H+.
some fine print . . .
Some texts, like ours, abbreviate the hydronium ion, H3O+, as H+, called a hydrogen ion.
This is inaccurate! H+ is a bare proton—which cannot exist in
water. Take a look . . .
the aqueous hydronium ion:
What is the geometry of the hydronium ion?pyramidal
Bases dissociate in water to produce one or more hydroxide, OH–(aq), ions.
eg. This is a dissociation reaction.
Na(OH)(s) Na+(aq) + OH–(aq)
Ba(OH)2(s) Ba2+(aq) + 2OH–(aq)
Limitations of the Arrhenius Theory
• restricted to acids & bases in aq solution• doesn’t explain behaviour of all acids or
bases• doesn’t explain certain types of
neutralization reactionsNH3(g) + HCl(g)
NH4Cl(s)
BrØnsted-Lowry Acid-Base TheoryAcid: proton (H+) donorBase: proton (H+) acceptor
not restricted to aq. solutions
ExplainsNH3(g) + HCl(g) NH4Cl(s)(note that N in NH3 has a lone pair of e-s)
In order to qualify as a B-L acid, a compound must contain _____________.
(hydrogen)
In order to qualify as a B-L base, acompound must contain ______________ .
(lone pair of e–s— or a negative charge)
Some B-L Acids & Bases
HCl(g) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)B-L acid B-L base
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH−(aq)
B-L base B-L acid
Water can act as either a B-L acid or base; water is amphiprotic.
Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs
HCl(g) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)B-L acid B-L base conj acid conj base
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH−(aq)
B-L base B-L acid conj acid conj base
How are conjugate acid-base pairs related?
By the transfer of a proton.(Look again at previous slide.)
Identify conjugate acid-base pairs:
HCN(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + CN−(aq)acid base c acid c base
H2PO4−(aq) + OH−(aq) HPO4
2−(aq) + H2O(l)acid base c base c acid
Strong Acids & Bases
A strong acid ionizes 100% in aq soln.eg.HCl(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)
HClO4(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + ClO4−(aq)

Review of Acid Nomenclature on the next three slides—taken from nomenclature powerpoint
How does the name of each acid correlate to ending of anion name?
HCl(aq)Cl-, chloridehydrochloric acid
H2SO4(aq)SO4
2-, sulfatesulfuric acid
HNO2(aq)NO2
-, nitritenitrous acid
Ending of anion name of aciddetermines name of acid
1. anion ends in “-ide”hydro_____ic acid
[hydrobromic acid, HBr(aq), Br-, bromide]2. anion ends in “-ate”
_______ic acid[phosphoric acid, H3PO4(aq), PO4
3-, phosphate]3. anion ends in “ite”
_______ous acid[nitrous acid, HNO2(aq), NO2

Examples of acidsformula nameHClO2(aq) _______________
chlorous acid_______________ acetic (ethanoic)

Strong Bases
Strong Bases dissociate 100% in aq soln.
Include the soluble ionic hydroxides of alkali metals alkali earth metals
LiOH Sr(OH)2
NaOH Ba(OH)2
KOH Ca(OH)2 low solubility Mg(OH)2
These ionic hydroxides dissociate in water 100%:
NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH−(aq)
Ba(OH)2 Ba2+(aq) + 2OH−(aq)
Concentrated vs Dilute Acids/Bases
Concentrated acids/bases:lots of mol/L
eg H2SO4 5 mol/L
Dilute acids/bases:few mol/L, say 0.1
mol/L
Describe each of the following acids as strong/weak and
dilute/conc1. 0.10 mol/L HNO3(aq)a dilute, strong acid2. 5% (m/v) CH3COOH(aq)a dilute, weak acid3. 10 mol/L H2SO4(aq)a concentrated, strong acid
Weak Acids and Bases
Ionize less that 100%—usually much less—in aq solution. (eg acetic acid, CH3COOH)
+ H2O H3O+(aq) + CH3CO2
−
(aq)
represents < 100% yield (an equilibrium)
Example of weak base, ammonia:
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH−(aq)
• ammonia ionizes only a few % • what does this say about the yield of this
rxn?(only a few %)Now indicate conj. acid-base pairs above.
