1 CHAPTER 18 ACID-BASE EQUILIBRIA 18.1 The Arrhenius definition classified substances as being acids or bases by their behavior in the solvent water. 18. All Arrhenius acids contain hydrogen and produce hydronium ion (H 3 O ) in aqueous solution. All Arrhenius bases contain an OH group and produce hydroxide ion (OH - ) in aqueous solution. Neutralization occurs when each H 3 O molecule combines with an OH - molecule to form molecules of H O. Chemists found that the H rxn was independent of the combination of strong acid with strong base. In other words, the reaction of any strong base with any strong acid always produced 56 kj/mol ( H -56 kj/mol). This was consistent with Arrhenius s hypothesis describing neutralization, because all other counter ions (those present from the dissociation of the strong acid and base) were spectators and did not participate in the overall reaction It is limited by the fact that it only classified substances as an acid or base when dissolved in the single solvent water. The anhydrous neutralization of NH 3 (g) and HCl(g) would not be included in the Arrhenius acid/base concept. In addition, it limited a base to a substance that contains OH in its formula. NH 3 does not contain OH in its formula but produces OH - ions in H O Strong acids and bases dissociate completely into their ions when dissolved in water. Weak acids only partially dissociate. The characteristic property of all weak acids is that a significant number of the acid molecules are not dissociated. For a strong acid, the concentration of hydronium ions produced by dissolving the acid is equal to the initial concentration of the undissociated acid. For a weak acid, the concentration of hydronium ions produced when the acid dissolves is less than the initial concentration of the acid a) Water, H O, is an Arrhenius acid because it produces H 3 O ion in aqueous solution. Water is also an Arrhenius base because it produces the OH - ion as well. b) Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) is a base, not an acid. c) Phosphoric acid, H 3 PO 4, is a weak Arrhenius acid. It is weak because the number of O atoms exceeds the ionizable H atoms by 1. d) Hydroiodic acid, HI, is a strong Arrhenius acid Only (a) NaHSO Barium hydroxide, Ba(OH), and potassium hydroxide, KOH, (b and d) are Arrhenius bases because they contain hydroxide ions and form OH - when dissolved in water. H 3 AsO 4 and HOCl a) and c) are Arrhenius acids, not bases (b) H O and (d) H NNH both are very weak 18.9 a) HCN(aq) H O(l) H 3 O (aq) CN - (aq) CN H3O K a [ HCN] b) HCO - 3 (aq) H O(l) H 3 O (aq) CO - 3 (aq) CO 3 H3O K a HCO 3 c) HCOOH(aq) H O(l) H 3 O (aq) HCOO - (aq) HCOO H3O K a HCOOH [ ] 18-1

Hydroiodic acid, HI, is not shown in Appendix C because K a approaches infinity for strong acids and is not meaningful. Therefore, HI is the strongest acid and acetic acid, CH 3 COOH, is the weakest: CH 3 COOH < HF < HIO 3 < HI HCl > HNO > HClO > HCN a) Arsenic acid, H 3 AsO 4, is a weak acid. The number of O atoms is 4, which exceeds the number of ionizable H atoms, 3, by one. This identifies H 3 AsO 4 as a weak acid. b) Strontium hydroxide, Sr(OH), is a strong base. Soluble compounds containing OH - ions are strong bases. c) HIO is a weak acid. The number of O atoms is 1, which is equal to the number of ionizable H atoms identifying HIO as a weak acid. d) Perchloric acid, HClO 4, is a strong acid. HClO 4 is one example of the type of strong acid in which the number of O atoms exceeds the number of ionizable H atoms by more than. 18-

The number of O atoms is 1, which is equal to the number of ionizable H atoms identifying HIO as a weak acid a) weak base b) strong acid c) weak acid d) weak acid Autoionization reactions occur when a proton (or, less frequently, another ion) is transferred from one molecule of the substance to another molecule of the same substance.

The solution of an acid with the smaller K a 4x10-5 has a lower [H 3 O ] and higher ph. b) pk a is equal to -log K a. The smaller the K a, the larger the pk a is. So the acid with the larger pk a, 3.5, has a lower [H 3 O ] and higher ph. c) Lower concentration of the same acid means lower concentration of hydronium ions produced. The 0.01 M solution has a lower [H 3 O ] and higher ph. d) At the same concentration, strong acids dissociate to produce more hydronium ions than weak acids. The 0.1 M solution of a weak acid has a lower [H 3 O ] and higher ph. e) Bases produce OH - ions in solution, so the concentration of hydronium ion for a solution of a base solution is lower than that for a solution of an acid. The 0.1 M base solution has the higher ph. f) poh equals -log [OH - ]. At 5 C, the equilibrium constant for water ionization, K w, equals 1x10-14 so 14 ph poh. As poh decreases, ph increases. The solution of poh 6.0 has the higher ph a) Plan: This problem can be approached two ways. Because NaOH is a strong base, the [OH - ] eq [NaOH] init. One method involves calculating [H 3 O ] using from K w [H 3 O ] [OH - ], then calculating ph from the relationship ph -log [H 3 O ]. The other method involves calculating poh and then using ph poh to calculate ph. Solution: First method: [H 3 O ] K w / [OH - ] 1.0 x / x M (unrounded) ph -log [H 3 O ] -log ( x ) Second method: poh -log [OH - ] -log (0.0111) (unrounded) ph poh With a ph > 7, the solution is basic. Check: Both solution methods match each other, so the answer is correct. b) There are again two acceptable methods analogous to those in part a; only one will be used here.

Therefore, OH - ion is added to increase the ph. Since 1 mole of H 3 O will react with 1 mole of OH -, the difference in [H 3 O ] would be equal to the [OH - ] added. [H 3 O ] 10 -ph x 10-4 M H 3 O (unrounded) [H 3 O ] 10 -ph x 10-4 M H 3 O (unrounded) Add ( x 10-4 M x 10-4 M) x x 10-4 mol of OH - per liter The ph is decreasing so the solution is becoming more acidic. Therefore, H 3 O ion is added to decrease the ph. Since 1 mole of H 3 O reacts with 1 mole of OH -, the difference in [OH - ] would be equal to the [H 3 O ] added.

[H 3 O ] 10 -ph x 10-5 M H 3 O (unrounded) [H 3 O ] 10 -ph x 10-6 M H 3 O (unrounded) Add ( x 10-5 M x 10-6 M) (6.5 L) x x 10-5 mol of OH The ph is decreasing so the solution is becoming more acidic. Therefore, H 3 O ion is added to decrease the ph. Since 1 mole of H 3 O reacts with 1 mole of OH -, the difference in [OH - ] would be equal to the [H 3 O ] added. [H 3 O ] 10 -ph x 10-9 M H 3 O (unrounded) [H 3 O ] 10 -ph x 10-7 M H 3 O (unrounded) Add ( x 10-7 M x 10-9 M) (87.5 ml) (10-3 L / 1 ml) x x 10-8 mol of H 3 O per liter Water in its pure form has only a very small conductance. Its electrical conductivity is due mostly to dissolved ions a) Heat is absorbed in an endothermic process: H O(l) heat H 3 O (aq) OH - (aq). As the temperature increases, the reaction shifts to the formation of products. Since the products are in the numerator of the K w expression, rising temperature increases the value of K w. b) Given that the ph is 6.80, the [H ] can be calculated. The problem specifies that the solution is neutral, meaning [H ] [OH - ]. A new K w can then be calculated. [H 3 O ] 10 -ph x 10-7 M H 3 O 1.6 x 10-7 M [OH - ] K w [H 3 O ] [OH - ] ( x 10-7 ) ( x 10-7 ) x x For a neutral solution: ph poh The Brønsted-Lowry theory defines acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors, while the Arrhenius definition looks at acids as containing ionizable H atoms and at bases as containing hydroxide ions. In both definitions, an acid produces hydronium ions and a base produces hydroxide ions when added to water. Ammonia and carbonate ion are two Brønsted-Lowry bases that are not Arrhenius bases because they do not contain hydroxide ions. Brønsted-Lowry acids must contain an ionizable H atom in order to be proton donors, so a Brønsted-Lowry acid that is not an Arrhenius acid cannot be identified. (Other examples are also acceptable.) Every acid has a conjugate base, and every base has a conjugate acid. The acid has one more H and one more positive charge than the base from which it was formed Acid-base reactions are proton transfer processes. Thus, the proton will be transferred from the stronger acid to the stronger base to form the weaker acid and weaker base An amphoteric substance can act as either an acid or a base. In the presence of a strong base (OH - ), the dihydrogen phosphate ion acts like an acid by donating hydrogen: H PO 4 - (aq) OH - (aq) H O(aq) HPO 4 - (aq) In the presence of a strong acid (HCl), the dihydrogen phosphate ion acts like a base by accepting hydrogen: H PO 4 - (aq) HCl(aq) H 3 PO 4 (aq) Cl - (aq) a) When phosphoric acid is dissolved in water, a proton is donated to the water and dihydrogen phosphate ions are generated. - H 3 PO 4 (aq) H O(l) H PO 4 (aq) H 3 O (aq) HO 3 HPO 4 K a HPO

8 18.53 The conjugate pairs are H S (acid)/hs - (base) and HCl (acid)/cl - (base). The reactions involve reacting one acid from one conjugate pair with the base from the other conjugate pair. Two reactions are possible: (1) HS - HCl H S Cl - and () H S Cl - HS - HCl The first reaction is the reverse of the second. To decide which will have an equilibrium constant greater than 1, look for the stronger acid producing a weaker acid. HCl is a strong acid and H S a weak acid. The reaction that favors the products (K c > 1) is the first one where the strong acid produces the weak acid. Reaction () with a weaker acid forming a stronger acid favors the reactants and K c < K c > 1: HNO 3 F - - NO 3 HF - K c < 1: NO 3 HF HNO 3 F a) HCl NH 3 NH 4 Cl - strong acid stronger base weak acid weaker base HCl is ranked above NH 4 in Figure and is the stronger acid. NH 3 is ranked above Cl - and is the stronger base. NH 3 is shown as a stronger base because it is stronger than Cl -, but is not considered a strong base. The reaction proceeds towards the production of the weaker acid and base, i.e., the reaction as written proceeds to the right and K c > 1. b) H SO 3 NH 3 - HSO 3 NH 4 stronger acid stronger base weaker base weaker acid H SO 3 is ranked above NH 4 and is the stronger acid. NH 3 is a stronger base than HSO - 3. The reaction proceeds towards the production of the weaker acid and base, i.e., the reaction as written proceeds to the right and K c > b a) NH 4 - HPO 4 NH 3 - H PO 4 weaker acid weaker base stronger base stronger acid K c < 1 This is because acid-base reaction favors stronger acid and base. b) - HSO 3 HS - H SO 3 S - K c < 1 weaker base weaker acid stronger acid stronger base a a) The concentration of a strong acid is very different before and after dissociation. After dissociation, the concentration of the strong acid approaches 0, or [HA] 0. b) A weak acid dissociates to a very small extent, so the acid concentration after dissociation is nearly the same as before dissociation. c) Same as (b), but the percent, or extent, of dissociation is greater than in (b). d) Same as (a) No, HCl and CH 3 COOH are never of equal strength because HCl is a strong acid with K a > 1 and CH 3 COOH is a weak acid with K a < 1. The K a of the acid, not the concentration of H 3 O in a solution of the acid, determines the strength of the acid. 18-8

The electronegative nonmetal attracts the electrons more strongly in the polar bond, shifting the electron density away from H and making the H more easily transferred to a surrounding water molecule to make H 3 O As the nonmetal increases in size, its bond to hydrogen becomes longer and weaker, so that H is more easily lost, and a stronger acid results. 18-8

29 There is an inverse relationship between the strength of the bond to the acidic proton and the strength of the acid. A weak bond means the hydrogen ion is more easily lost, and hence the acid is stronger The two factors that explain the greater acid strength of HClO 4 are: 1) Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, so chlorine more strongly attracts the electrons in the bond with oxygen. This makes the H in HClO 4 less tightly held by the oxygen than the H in HIO. ) Perchloric acid has more oxygen atoms than HIO, which leads to a greater shift in electron density making the H in HClO 4 more susceptible to transfer to a base a) Selenic acid, H SeO 4, is the stronger acid because it contains more oxygen atoms. b) Phosphoric acid, H 3 PO 4, is the stronger acid because P is more electronegative than As. c) Hydrotelluric acid, H Te, is the stronger acid because Te is larger than S and so the Te-H bond is weaker a) H Se b) H SO 4 c) H SO a) H Se, hydrogen selenide, is a stronger acid than H 3 As, arsenic hydride, because Se is more electronegative than As. b) B(OH) 3, boric acid also written as H 3 BO 3, is a stronger acid than Al(OH) 3, aluminum hydroxide, because boron is more electronegative than aluminum. c) HBrO, bromous acid, is a stronger acid than HBrO, hypobromous acid, because there are more oxygen atoms in HBrO than in HBrO a) HBr b) H 3 AsO 4 c) HNO Acidity increases as the value of K a increases. Determine the ion formed from each salt and compare the corresponding K a values from Appendix C. a) Copper(II) sulfate, CuSO 4, contains Cu ion with K a 3 x Aluminum sulfate, Al (SO 4 ) 3, contains Al 3 ion with K a 1 x The concentrations of Cu and Al 3 are equal, but the K a of Al (SO 4 ) 3 is almost three orders of magnitude greater. Therefore, 0.05 M Al (SO 4 ) 3 is the stronger acid. b) Zinc chloride, ZnCl, contains the Zn ion with K a 1 x Lead chloride, PbCl, contains the Pb ion with K a 3 x Since both solutions have the same concentration, and K a (Pb ) > K a (Zn ), 0.1 M PbCl is the stronger acid a) FeCl 3 b) BeCl A higher ph (more basic solution) results when an acid has a lower K a (from Appendix C). a) The Ni(NO 3 ) solution has a higher ph than the Co(NO 3 ) solution because K a of Ni (1 x ) is smaller than the K a of Co ( x ). Note that nitrate ions are the conjugate bases of a strong acid and therefore do not influence the ph of the solution. b) The Al(NO 3 ) 3 solution has a higher ph than the Cr(NO 3 ) solution because K a of Al 3 (1 x 10-5 ) is smaller than the K a of Cr 3 (1 x 10-4 ) a) NaCl b) Co(NO 3 ) Salts that contain anions of weak acids and cations of strong bases are basic. Salts that contain cations of weak bases or small, highly charged metal cations, and anions of strong acids are acidic. Basic salt: KCN Acid salt: FeCl 3 or NH 4 NO 3 Neutral salt: KNO Sodium fluoride, NaF, contains the cation of a strong base, NaOH, and anion of a weak acid, HF. This combination yields a salt that is basic in aqueous solution. Sodium chloride, NaCl, is the salt of a strong base, NaOH, and strong acid, HCl. This combination yields a salt that is neutral in aqueous solution. 18-9

30 If K a for the conjugate acid of the anion is approximately equal to K b for the conjugate base, the solution will be close to neutral. Otherwise, the solution will be acidic or basic. In this case, the K a for the conjugate acid (CH 3 COOH) is 1.8 x 10-5, and the K b for the conjugate base (NH 3 ) is 1.76 x For each salt, first break into the ions present in solution and then determine if either ion acts as a weak acid or weak base to change the ph of the solution. a) KBr(s) H O(l) K (aq) Br - (aq) K is the conjugate acid of a strong base, so it does not influence ph. Br - is the conjugate base of a strong acid, so it does not influence ph. Since neither ion influences the ph of the solution, it will remain at the ph of pure water with a neutral ph. b) NH 4 I(s) H O(l) NH 4 (aq) I - (aq) NH 4 is the conjugate acid of a weak base, so it will act as a weak acid in solution and produce H 3 O as represented by the acid dissociation reaction: NH 4 (aq) H O(l) NH 3 (aq) H 3 O (aq) I - is the conjugate base of a strong acid, so it will not influence the ph. The production of H 3 O from the ammonium ion makes the solution of NH 4 I acidic. c) KCN(s) H O(l) K (aq) CN - (aq) K is the conjugate acid of a strong base, so it does not influence ph.

The base dissociation reaction of acetate ion is CH 3 COO - (aq) H O(l) CH 3 COOH(aq) OH - (aq) c) A solution of dimethylammonium bromide is acidic because (CH 3 ) NH is the conjugate acid of a weak base and therefore forms H 3 O in solution whereas Br - is the conjugate base of a strong acid and does not influence the ph of the solution.

The K a of NH 4 is determined by using the K b of its conjugate base, NH 3 (Appendix C). The K b of PO 4 3- is determined by using the K a of its conjugate acid, HPO 4. The K a of HPO 4 - comes from K a3 of H 3 PO 4 (Appendix C). Since K b > K a, a solution of (NH 4 ) 3 PO 4 is basic. b) The two ions that comprise sodium sulfate, Na SO 4, are sodium ion, Na, and sulfate ion, SO 4 -. The sodium ion is derived from the strong base NaOH. The sulfate ion is derived from the weak acid, HSO 4 -. SO 4 - (aq) H O(l) HSO 4 - (aq) OH - (aq) A solution of sodium sulfate is basic. c) The two ions that comprise lithium hypochlorite, LiClO, are lithium ion, Li, and hypochlorite ion, ClO -.

Potassium nitrate, KNO 3, is a neutral solution because potassium ion is the conjugate acid of a strong base and nitrate ion is the conjugate base of a strong acid, so neither influences solution ph. Potassium sulfite, K SO 3, and potassium sulfide, K S, are similar in that the potassium ion does not influence solution ph but the anions do because they are conjugate bases of weak acids. K a for HSO - 3 is 6.5 x 10-8, so K b for SO - 3 is 1.5 x 10-7, which indicates that sulfite ion is a weak base. K a for HS - is 1 x from Table 18.5, so sulfide ion has a K b equal to 1 x Sulfide ion is thus a strong base. The solution of a strong base will have a greater concentration of hydroxide ions (and higher ph) than a solution of a weak base of equivalent concentrations. b) In order of increasing ph: NaHSO 4 < NH 4 NO 3 < NaHCO 3 < Na CO 3 In solutions of ammonium nitrate, only the ammonium will influence ph by dissociating as a weak acid: NH 4 (aq) H O(l) NH 3 (aq) H 3 O (aq) with K a 1.0 x / 1.8 x x Therefore, the solution of ammonium nitrate is acidic. In solutions of sodium hydrogen sulfate, only HSO - 4 will influence ph. The hydrogen sulfate ion is amphoteric so both the acid and base dissociations must be evaluated for influence on ph. As a base, HSO - 4 is the conjugate base of a strong acid, so it will not influence ph. As an acid, HSO - 4 is the conjugate acid of a weak base, so the acid dissociation applies HSO - 4 (aq) H O(l) SO - 4 (aq) H 3 O (aq) K a 1. x 10 - In solutions of sodium hydrogen carbonate, only the HCO - 3 will influence ph and it, like HSO - 4, is amphoteric: As an acid: HCO - 3 (aq) H O(l) CO - 3 (aq) H 3 O (aq) As a base: K a 4.7 x 10-11, the second K a for carbonic acid from Table 18.5 HCO - 3 (aq) H O(l) H CO 3 (aq) OH - (aq) K b 1.0 x / 4.5 x x 10-8 Since K b > K a, a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate is basic.

Two of the solutions are acidic. Since the K a of HSO 4 - is greater than that of NH 4, the solution of sodium hydrogen sulfate has a lower ph than the solution of ammonium nitrate, assuming the concentrations are relatively close. Two of the solutions are basic. Since the K b of CO 3 - is greater than that of HCO 3 -, the solution of sodium carbonate has a higher ph than the solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, assuming concentrations are not extremely different a) KClO > MgCl > FeCl > FeCl 3 b) NaBrO > NaClO > NaBr > NH 4 Br 18-3

33 18.19 Both methoxide ion and amide ion produce OH - in aqueous solution. In water, the strongest base possible is OH -. Since both bases produce OH - in water, both bases appear equally strong. CH 3 O - (aq) H O(l) OH - (aq) CH 3 OH(aq) NH - (aq) H O(l) OH - (aq) NH 3 (aq) H SO 4 is a strong acid and would be 100% dissociated in H O and any solvent more basic than H O (such as NH 3 ). It would be less than 100% dissociated in solvents more acidic than H O (such as CH 3 COOH) Ammonia, NH 3, is a more basic solvent than H O. In a more basic solvent, weak acids like HF act like strong acids and are 100% dissociated A Lewis base must have an electron pair to donate. A Lewis acid must have a vacant orbital or the ability to rearrange its bonding to make one available. The Lewis acid-base reaction involves the donation and acceptance of an electron pair to form a new covalent bond in an adduct A Lewis acid is defined as an electron pair acceptor, while a Brønsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor. If only the proton in a Brønsted-Lowry acid is considered, then every Brønsted-Lowry acid fits the definition of a Lewis acid since the proton is accepting an electron pair when it bonds with a base. There are Lewis acids that do not include a proton, so all Lewis acids are not Brønsted-Lowry acids. A Lewis base is defined as an electron pair donor and a Brønsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor. In this case, the two definitions are essentially the same except that for a Brønsted-Lowry base the acceptor is a proton a) No, a weak Brønsted-Lowry base is not necessarily a weak Lewis base. For example, water molecules solvate metal ions very well: Zn (aq) 4 H O(l) Zn(H O) 6 (aq) Water is a very weak Brønsted-Lowry base, but forms the Zn complex fairly well and is a reasonably strong Lewis base. b) The cyanide ion has a lone pair to donate from either the C or the N, and donates an electron pair to the Cu(H O) 6 complex. It is the Lewis base for the forward direction of this reaction. In the reverse direction, water donates one of the electron pairs on the oxygen to the Cu(CN) 4 - and is the Lewis base. c) Because K c > 1, the reaction proceeds in the direction written (left to right) and is driven by the stronger Lewis base, the cyanide ion All three concepts can have water as the product in an acid/base neutralization reaction. It is the only product in an Arrhenius neutralization reaction a) NH 3 can only act as a Brønsted-Lowry or Lewis base. b) AlCl 3 can only act as a Lewis acid a) Cu is a Lewis acid because it accepts electron pairs from molecules such as water. b) Cl - is a Lewis base because it has lone pairs of electrons it can donate to a Lewis acid. c) Tin(II) chloride, SnCl, is a compound with a structure similar to carbon dioxide, so it will act as a Lewis acid to form an additional bond to the tin. d) Oxygen difluoride, OF, is a Lewis base with a structure similar to water, where the oxygen has lone pairs of electrons that it can donate to a Lewis acid a) Lewis acid b) Lewis base c) Lewis base d) Lewis acid 18-33

34 a) The boron atom in boron trifluoride, BF 3, is electron deficient (has 6 electrons instead of 8) and can accept an electron pair; it is a Lewis acid. b) The sulfide ion, S -, can donate any of four electron pairs and is a Lewis base. c) The Lewis dot structure for the sulfite ion, SO 3 - shows lone pairs on the sulfur and on the oxygens. The sulfur atom has a lone electron pair that it can donate more easily than the electronegative oxygen in the formation of an adduct. The sulfite ion is a Lewis base. d) Sulfur trioxide, SO 3, acts as a Lewis acid a) Lewis acid b) Lewis base c) Lewis acid d) Lewis acid a) Sodium ion is the Lewis acid because it is accepting electron pairs from water, the Lewis base. Na 6 H O Na(H O) 6 Lewis acid Lewis base adduct b) The oxygen from water donates a lone pair to the carbon in carbon dioxide. Water is the Lewis base and carbon dioxide the Lewis acid. CO H O H CO 3 Lewis acid Lewis base adduct c) Fluoride ion donates an electron pair to form a bond with boron in BF - 4. The fluoride ion is the Lewis base and the boron trifluoride is the Lewis acid. F - BF 3 - BF 4 Lewis base Lewis acid adduct a) Fe 3 H O FeOH H 3 O Lewis acid Lewis base b) H O H - OH - H Lewis acid Lewis base c) 4 CO Ni Ni(CO) 4 Lewis base Lewis acid a) Since neither H nor OH - is involved, this is not an Arrhenius acid-base reaction. Since there is no exchange of protons, this is not a Brønsted-Lowry reaction. This reaction is only classified as Lewis acid-base reaction, where Ag is the acid and NH 3 is the base. b) Again, no OH - is involved, so this is not an Arrhenius acid-base reaction. This is an exchange of a proton, from H SO 4 to NH 3, so it is a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction. Since the Lewis definition is most inclusive, anything that is classified as a Brønsted-Lowry (or Arrhenius) reaction is automatically classified as a Lewis acidbase reaction. c) This is not an acid-base reaction. d) For the same reasons listed in (a), this reaction is only classified as Lewis acid-base reaction, where AlCl 3 is the acid and Cl - is the base a) Lewis acid-base reaction b) Brønsted-Lowry, Arrhenius, and Lewis acid-base reaction c) This is not an acid-base reaction. d) Brønsted-Lowry and Lewis acid-base reaction 18-34

Water and methanol have different acid-base characters. b) The K a is the measure of an acid s strength. A stronger acid has a smaller pk a. Therefore, phenol is a stronger acid in water than it is in methanol. In other words, water more readily accepts a proton from phenol than does methanol, i.e., water is a stronger base than methanol. c) C 6 H 5 OH(solvated) CH 3 OH(l) CH 3 OH (solvated) C 6 H 5 O - (solvated) The term solvated is analogous to aqueous. Aqueous would be incorrect in this case because the reaction does not take place in water. d) In the autoionization process, one methanol molecule is the proton donor while another methanol molecule is the proton acceptor. CH 3 OH(l) CH 3 OH(l) CH 3 O - (solvated) CH 3 OH (solvated) In this equation (solvated) indicates that the molecules are solvated by methanol. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is the autoionization constant of methanol: K [CH 3 O - ] [CH 3 OH ] 18-35

The electron configuration of tin is [Kr]5s 4d 10 5p. The four bonds to tin are formed by sp 3 hybrid orbitals, which completely fill the 5s and 5p orbitals. The 5d orbitals are empty and available for the bond with trimethylamine Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that almost completely dissociates in water. Therefore, the concentration of H 3 O is the same as the starting acid concentration: [H 3 O ] [HCl]. The original solution ph: ph -log (1.0 x 10-5 ) 5.00 ph. A 1:10 dilution means that the chemist takes 1 ml of the 1.0 x 10-5 M solution and dilutes it to 10 ml (or dilute 10 ml to 100 ml). The chemist then dilutes the diluted solution in a 1:10 ratio, and repeats this process for the next two successive dilutions. Dilution 1: [H 3 O ] HCl (1.0 x 10-5 M) (1.0 ml / 10. ml) 1.0 x 10-6 M H 3 O ph -log (1.0 x 10-6 ) Dilution : [H 3 O ] HCl (1.0 x 10-6 M) (1.0 ml / 10. ml) 1.0 x 10-7 M H 3 O Once the concentration of strong acid is close to the concentration of H 3 O from water autoionization, the [H 3 O ] in the solution does not equal the initial concentration of the strong acid. The calculation of [H 3 O ] must be based on the water ionization equilibrium: H O(l) H 3 O (aq) OH - (aq) with K w 1.0 x at 5 C. The dilution gives an initial [H 3 O ] of 1.0 x 10-7 M.

Therefore, the phosphoric acid contributes more H 3 O to the solution a) Electrical conductivity of 0.1 M HCl is higher than that of 0.1 M CH 3 COOH. Conductivity is proportional to the concentration of charge in the solution. Since HCl dissociates to a greater extent than CH 3 COOH the concentration of ions, and thus the charge, is greater in 0.1 M HCl than in 0.1 M CH 3 COOH. b) The electrical conductivity of the two solutions will be approximately the same because at low concentrations the autoionization of water is significant causing the concentration of ions, and thus the charge, to be about the same in the two solutions. In addition, the percent dissociation of a weak electrolyte such as acetic acid increases with decreasing concentration In step (1), the RCOOH is the Lewis base and the H is the Lewis acid. In step (), the RC(OH) is the Lewis acid and the R'OH is the Lewis base

Ammonia is able to escape the solution as a gas a) As the ph of a water solution containing casein increases, the H ions from the carboxyl groups on casein will be removed. This will increase the number of charged groups, and the solubility of the casein will increase. b) As the ph of a water solution containing histones decreases, -NH and NH groups will accept H ions from solution. This will increase the number of charged groups, and the solubility of the histones will increase a) The concentration of oxygen is higher in the lungs so the equilibrium shifts to the right. b) In an oxygen deficient environment, the equilibrium would shift to the left to release oxygen. c) A decrease in the [H 3 O ] concentration would shift the equilibrium to the right. More oxygen is absorbed, but it will be more difficult to remove the O. d) An increase in the [H 3 O ] concentration would shift the equilibrium to the left.
