5.4 Calculating pH, pOH, H+, OH-
5.4.1 Calculate the concentration of ions (H+ and OH-) and acidity (pH and pOH) of strong acids and bases
5.4.2 Calculate the above of a mixture of strong acids and bases
5.4 – pH Scale Proposed
Søren Sørenson Denmark Biochemist Early 20th century Proposed the pH
scale
5.4 - Concentrations of [H+]
The more acidic a solution is, the more H+ ions are donated into solutionActual concentrations of the hydronium ion, [H+], are often very smallTherefore, Sørenson proposed a manipulation of the concentration of H+ in a way that made the data much more simple to relateThe pH scale is based on the logarithm of the concentration of H+
5.4 - Concentration
We represent concentration by molarity, therefore the concentration of an acid and a base will give us the following information: 0.45 M HCl = 0.45 mol [H+]
From an acid we find the [H+] We can calculate pH directly
0.65 M NaOH = 0.65 mol [OH-] From a base we find the [OH-] We can calculate pOH directly
If we know the concentration of one, we can find it of the other: [H+] [OH-] = Kw = 1 x 10-14
5.4 - Calculating pH
The pH of a solution is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration (in mol/L). pH = -log[H3O+] pH = -log[H+]
This calculation results in a pH scale, 0-14Therefore, the pH range of solutions are as follows: Acidic Solutions, pH < 7.0 (0.0-
6.9) Neutral Solution, pH = 7.0 (7.0) Basic Solutions, pH > 7.0 (7.1-
14)
5.4 – Problems with scale
Find the pH of a 12M solution of HCl pH = -log (12M) = -1.07 Usually the pH of 12 Molar HCl represented
as 0.00 and not -1.07? Any solution with a pH or pOH calculation
that results in a negative number you are welcome to round to a pH or pOH of zero (0).
For our purposes in this class, the scale will be from 0-14!
5.4 - The pH scale is logarithmic
What does the logarithm scale mean? The logarithm is base 10, so a change in one
value has 10x the effect Since pH 7 is neutral
pH 5 is 10 x more acidic than pH 6 pH 4 is 100 x more acidic than pH 6 pH 3 is 1000 x more acidic than pH 6 pH 9 is 10 x more alkaline than pH 8 pH 10 is 100 x more alkaline than pH 8 pH 11 is 1000 x more alkaline than pH 8
5.4 - What is pOH?
pOH is the opposite of pH, and a measure of alkalinity (how basic)If pH goes down, pOH goes up. The pOH scale is (opposite pH): Basic Solutions: pOH < 7.0 (0.0-
6.9) Neutral Solutions: pOH = 7.0 (7.0) Acidic Solutions: pOH > 7.0 (7.1-
14)
pH + pOH = 1414 – pH = pOHCalculated: pOH = -log [OH-]
5.4 – Common Solutions
Practice #1
What is the pOH of a 0.005 M Mg(OH)2 ?
What is the pH ?-log [OH-] = pOH
-log [0.005] = 2.3 = pOH
14 – pOH = pH
14 – 2.3 = 11.7 = pH
Practice #2
If 20g of NH3 are dissolved in 2.5 L of distilled water, what would the pH of the solution be?
20g NH3
17g NH3
1 mol NH3 = 1.17 mol
NH3
1.17 mol NH3
2.5 L solution = 0.47 M NH3
-log [OH-] = pOH
-log [0.47] = pOH = 0.32
14 – pOH = pH
14 – 0.32 = 13.68
5.4 - Strong Acids and Bases
Strong AcidsHClO4 (perchloric acid)HI (hydroiodic acid)HBr (hydrobromic acid)HCl (hydrochloric acid)H2SO4 (sulfuric acid)HNO3 (nitric acid)
Strong Bases• LiOH (lithium hydrox.)• NaOH (sodium hydrox.)• KOH (potassium
hydrox.)• RbOH (rubidium
hydrox.)• CsOH (cesium hydrox.)• Ca(OH)2 (calcium
hydrox.)• Sr(OH)2 (strontium
hydrox.)• Ba(OH)2 (barium
hydrox.)
Mainly the acids of halides! Mainly the bases of
alkali metals and some alkaline earths!
We will calculate primarily with strong monoprotic acids and bases (BOLD)
Applicable Solution Def’s
Strong acids and bases will completely ionize in water and we can therefore use a “” yields symbol in the equation. (for weak acids and bases, an equilibrium arrow would be used ⇌)Ionization: Process by which a neutral compound is split into charged particles by action when dissolved in liquid waterEquilibrium: When reactants and products are in a constant ratio. The forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate when a system is in equilibrium.
Ionization Reactions
Completion: For those that include a strong acid or strong base, the reaction will run to completion and can be shown as such with a generic ‘yields’ symbol ()
Equilibrium: For those that include a weak acid or base or do not go to completion, the reaction can be represented by an equilibrium symbol ()
5.5 Neutralization equations
5.5.1 Balance simple acid base equations 5.5.2 Conjugate Acid/Base pairs
5.5 - Neutralization
When equal concentrations of H+ and OH- are added to one another, a neutral solution results NaOH + HCl NaCl + H2O Base + Acid Salt + Water
In equal amounts this is always the case, whether the acid is strong or weak, as long as concentrations are taken into account
Try the following, assume complete neutralization: Mg(OH)2 + HCl KOH + H2SO4
5.4 - Aqueous Solutions of A&B
• What happens when you put an acid or a base into water?
• Each have the property of being electrolytes so will therefore dissociate
• Water itself can act as an acid or a base H+ + H2O H3O+ (or H+ + OH- H2O) H3O+ H+ + H2O (or H2O H+ + OH- )
5.4 – Conjugate Acid/Base
When acids and bases go through the process of donating or accepting protons, they then switch roles as they can easily reverse the reaction
Acids become conjugate bases Bases become conjugate acids Strong become weak Weak become strong
Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H+ (H3O+) in water
Arrhenius base is a substance that produces OH- in water
A Brønsted acid is a proton donorA Brønsted base is a proton acceptor
acidbase conj. acid conj. base
A Brønsted acid must contain at least one ionizable proton!
5.5 - Conjugate Acids and Bases
• Conjugate pairs are two substances that differ by one H+ (they gain or lose one PROTON)
HCl (acid) Cl- (conjugate base) NH3 (base) NH4
+ (conjugate acid)
• When an acid loses a proton it becomes its conjugate base
H2O OH- or HCl H+ + Cl-
• When a base gains a proton it becomes its conjugate acid
H2O H3O+ or NH3 + H+ NH4+
