Old DefinitionsOld Definitions
ClassicClassic– Acids taste sourAcids taste sour– Bases taste bitterBases taste bitter
Arrhenius modelArrhenius model– Acids produce hydronium ions (HAcids produce hydronium ions (H33OO++) in solution) in solution
– Bases produce hydroxide ions (OHBases produce hydroxide ions (OH--) in solution) in solution
Current DefinitionCurrent Definition
Bronsted – Lowry ModelBronsted – Lowry Model– Acids donate protonsAcids donate protons– Bases accept protonsBases accept protons
Conjugate Acid/Base PairsConjugate Acid/Base Pairs
When an acid donates a proton, it forms a When an acid donates a proton, it forms a conjugate baseconjugate base– HCl donates and becomes ClHCl donates and becomes Cl--
When a base accepts a proton, it forms a When a base accepts a proton, it forms a conjugate acidconjugate acid– OHOH-- accepts and becomes H(OH) accepts and becomes H(OH)
These differ by only ONE hydrogen atomThese differ by only ONE hydrogen atom If the acid is strong, it’s conjugate base is If the acid is strong, it’s conjugate base is
weak (and vice versa)weak (and vice versa)
Acid-Base ReactionsAcid-Base Reactions
Can occur in either direction, but both sides Can occur in either direction, but both sides compete for the free H ions so 1 direction compete for the free H ions so 1 direction often dominatesoften dominates
HCl + HHCl + H22O HO H33OO++ + Cl + Cl--

[H+] and [OH-] Ions [H+] and [OH-] Ions
Acids create HAcids create H++ ions when mixed in water because ions when mixed in water because they donate H they donate H ++ to it to it
Bases create OHBases create OH-- ions when mixed in water ions when mixed in water because they take a H because they take a H ++ away from it away from it
If [H If [H ++] > [OH] > [OH--], the solution is acidic], the solution is acidic If [H If [H ++] < [OH] < [OH--], the solution is basic], the solution is basic If [H If [H ++] = [OH] = [OH--], the solution is neutral], the solution is neutral However, for any solution [H However, for any solution [H ++] [OH] [OH--] = 1 x 10] = 1 x 10-14-14
An exampleAn example
If a solution has a [OHIf a solution has a [OH--] = 3.4 x 10] = 3.4 x 10-9 -9 M, what M, what is the concentration of [His the concentration of [H++]?]?
[H[H++] (3.4 x 10] (3.4 x 10-9-9) = 1 x 10) = 1 x 10-14-14
[H[H++] = 2.9 x 10] = 2.9 x 10-6-6 M M Is the solution acid or basic?Is the solution acid or basic?
since [Hsince [H++] > [OH] > [OH--], it is acidic], it is acidic
(remember that negative exponents mean (remember that negative exponents mean more zeros after the decimal, so a smaller more zeros after the decimal, so a smaller #)#)
pH ScalepH Scale
An easier way to measure acids and bases An easier way to measure acids and bases because the concentrations we work with because the concentrations we work with are so smallare so small
0-7 acidic0-7 acidic 7 neutral7 neutral 7-14 basic7-14 basic The closer to 7 the weaker the substance is, The closer to 7 the weaker the substance is,
the further away the stronger it isthe further away the stronger it is Each step is actually a factor of 10 Each step is actually a factor of 10
– So pH 2 is 100 X stronger than pH 4So pH 2 is 100 X stronger than pH 4

pH measures the concentration of H ions (or pH measures the concentration of H ions (or hydronium ions) in solutionhydronium ions) in solution
pH = -log [HpH = -log [H++]] pOH = -log [OHpOH = -log [OH--]] pH + pOH = 14pH + pOH = 14 To get [HTo get [H++] from pH:] from pH:
[H[H++] = inverse log (-pH)] = inverse log (-pH)
