Acid/Base definitions

• Definition #1: Arrhenius (traditional)

Acids – produce H+ ions (or hydronium ions H3O+)

Bases – produce OH- ions

(problem: some bases don’t have hydroxide ions!)

1313Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H+ (H3O+) in water

Arrhenius base is a substance that produces OH- in water

1414

Acid/Base Definitions

• Definition #2: Brønsted – Lowry

Acids – proton donor

Bases – proton acceptor

A “proton” is really just a hydrogen atom that has lost it’s electron!

2525Calculating the pH

pH = - log [H+]([ ] mean Molarity)

Example: If [H+] = 1 X 10-10

pH = - log 1 X 10-10

pH = - (- 10)

pH = 10

Example: If [H+] = 1.8 X 10-5

pH = - log 1.8 X 10-5

pH = - (- 4.74)
