Misc Concepts I. Brønsted -Lowery Acid- H+ donor (labile O-H bond) Base- H+ acceptor (has lone e- pairs) NOTES – Acids, Bases and pH, Chapter 14 Ex: Brønsted -Lowery acid: HNO2 2- Brønsted -Lowery base: SO3 II. Arrhenius + Acid- forms H3O ions in solution Base- forms OH- ions in solution III. Lewis Acid- e- pair acceptor Base- e- pair donor Ex: BF3 + NH3 → BF3NH3 L.A. L.B. Acceptor Donor IV. Acid strength Strong acid- 100% dissociates in water HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3, HIO3, HClO4 Weak acid < 100% dissociates in water Acid strength is based on strength of the bond Stronger bond = weaker acid and weaker bond = stronger acid Dissociation reaction: HA → H+ +A¯, if a strong acid then this is HA H+ +A¯ Acid dissociation constant: Ka = [H+][A¯]/[HA] V. Base strength Strong bases- release OH- into solution 100% dissociates in aqueous solution Group 1 and some of group 2 (Ca, Ba) hydroxide Ex: NaOH, KOH Weak bases- metal OH’s that don’t fully dissolve covalent molecules (typically amines, C6H5NH2) that create OH- in solution + + Dissociation rxn: B + H2O → BH +OH¯, if a weak base then this is B + H2O BH +OH¯ The stronger base is more dissociated, the more dissociated the more products, the more products the higher the Kb so Kb reflects base strength VI. Water as an acid and a base Amphoteric- can be either an acid or a base Water autodissociates to form proton and hydroxide each at a concentration of 10-7 M. Typically this amount is negligible when added to the amount of proton or hydroxide generated from an acid or a base. However in dilute solutions of acids/bases (<10-7 M ) have a pH based on the autodissociation of water. (10-7 M, so pH = 7) + - Autodissociation of water: 2H2O H + OH + + - -7 Kw = [H ][OH¯] if [H ] = [OH ] = 1.0 x 10 M -7 -7 Kw = ( 1.0 x 10 )(1.0 x 10 ) (H2O is a pure liquid, so don’t include it) -14 Kw = 1.0 x 10 Kw = Ka Kb This expression can be used to calculate the dissociation constants of conjugate pairs VII The pH Scale The pH scale is a scale from 1-14 to represent solution acidity or basicity It is a log scale based on 10, where pH = -log [H+] i. pH changes by 1 for every power of 10 change in [H+] ii. pH decreases as [H+] increases because pH = -log [H+] + - Consider the log form of the expression: Kw = [H ][OH ] NOTES – Acids, Bases and pH, Chapter 14 + - Kw = [H ][OH ] + - log Kw = log [H ] + log [OH ] + - - log Kw = -log [H ] - log [OH ]) + - Therefore: pKw = p[H ] + p[OH ]) -14 Since Kw = 1.0 x 10 , -14 pKw = -log (1.0 x 10 ) = 14.00 Thus, for all aqueous solutions at 25°C, pH, and pOH add up to 14.00 PH + pOH = 14.00 ex: Calculate pH and pOH for each of the following solutions at 25°C a. 1.0 X 10 –3 M OH– Kw 1.0 x 10 -14 [H+] = = = 1.0 x 10 –11 M [OH ] 1.0 x 10 -3 pH = -log [H+] = -log (1.0 x 10 –11 ) = 11.00 pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (1.0 x 10 –3 ) = 3.00 b. 1.0 M H+ K 1.0 x 10 -14 [OH-] = w = = 1.0 x 10 –14 M [H ] 1.0 pH = -log [H+] = -log (1.0) = 0.00 pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (1.0 x 10 –14 ) = 14.00 VIII Calculating the pH of Acidic Solutions a. Mainly deals with the solution components and their chemistry, so it is important to identify and focus on the major species i. 1.0 M HCl is actually H+ and Cl- ions b. Major species are those that are present in large amounts + - i. In the solution 1.0 M HCl, the major species are H , Cl , and H2O c. Strong acids are those that dissolve (nearly) completely in solution EX: Calculate the pH of 0.10 M HNO3 + 1. List major species: H , NO 3 , and H2O 2. Consider the major source of acid: HNO3 3. [H+] = 0.10 M and pH = -log(0.01) = 1.00 d. Weak Acid Equilibrium Problems i. List the major species in solution ii. Choose the species that produce H+ ions, and write balanced equations for those rxns iii. Using the values of the equilibrium constants (K) for the rxns you have written, decide which is the major producer of H+ ions iv. Write the equilibrium expression for the dominant equilibrium v. Make an ICE table to find the change in equilibrium in terms of “x” vi. Solve for x vii. Check to see if approximation is valid (5%) rule viii. Calculate [H+] and pH EX: see pg. 673 for an in-depth example of this type of problem e. The pH of a Mixture of Weak Acids i. Sometimes a solution may contain two weak acids of different strengths -10 EX: Calculate the pH of a solution that contains 1.00 M HCN (Ka = 6.2 x 10 ) and 5.00 M -4 HNO2 (Ka = 4.0 x 10 ). (p 676) NOTES – Acids, Bases and pH, Chapter 14 1. Major species: HCN, HNO2 , and H2O 2. All rxns produce H+: + - -10 a. HCN H + CN Ka = 6.2 x 10 + -4 b. HNO2 H + NO2 Ka = 4.0 x 10 + - -14 c. H2O H + OH Ka = 1.0 x 10 3. Because of the Ka values, it can be determined that HNO2 is the major producer of H+ ions 4. Write the equilibrium equation for HNO2: -4 [H ][NO2 ] a. Ka = 4.0 x 10 = [HNO2 ] 5. Make an ICE table to find x = [H+] + a. HNO2 H + NO2 Initial: 5.00 0 0 Change: -x +x +x Equilibrium: 5.00 – x x x b. Solve for x {let (5.00 - x = 5.00)} using the -4 Ka = 4.0 X 10 = 6. Therefore [H+] = x = 4.5 X 10-2 M and pH = 1.35 f. Percent Dissociation i. Used to find the amount of weak acid that has dissociated in reaching equilibrium in aqueous solution amount dissociated (mol/L) ii. Percent dissociation = 100 % initial concentration (mol/L) + -2 EX: Refer to previous example and find the percent dissociation of HNO2 where [H ] = x = 4.5 x 10 M and pH = 1.35 [H ] The percent dissociation is: 100% = .9% [HNO 2 ] IX. Bases According to the Bronsted and Lowry model, and the Arrhenius concept, a base both accepts protons and yields OH- ions. This can be shown by the dissociation of NaOH: NaOH Na+(aq) + OH- (aq) - The dissociation of a base can also be represented by B + H20 BH + OH The neutralization of an acid and base will always result in water and a salt. Acid Base Water Salt HCl + NaOH H2O + NaCl a. Calculating pH of Strong Bases Since strong, assume 100% dissociation.

  • Inorganic Chemistry Lesson 5 Oxides in Nature
    Inorganic Chemistry Lesson 5 Oxides in nature. Acidic oxides. Acids. October 22, 2017 / 1 Oxides in nature. As we already know, oxygen is the most abun- dant element in the Earth crust: it constitutes about 49% of Earth lithosphere (by mass), and 20% of atmosphere (by volume).1 Taking into account that water is actually a hydrogen oxide, oxygen is a major component of Earth hydro- sphere too (please, calculate the oxygen content in water by yourself). Oxygen exists in a chemi- cally bound form everywhere except in the Earth atmosphere, and various oxides are among the most abundant forms of chemically bound oxy- gen on the Earth. Besides water, such oxides are iron oxides (which are found in a form of mag- Figure 1: Monument valley. Arizona and netite, hematite, goethite, limonite, etc, see Fig. Utah sandstones are red due to a large 1), aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide (in a form of content of iron oxide. quartz, opal etc). 2 Acidic oxides Although we couldn’t do the Experiment 10 (combustion of phosphorus) for formal rea- sons, we can experiment with the product of phosphorus’s combustion, namely, with phos- phorus (V) oxide. Let’s look at this compound closer. Phosphorus (V) oxide, P2O5 is a white powder that quickly turns into a sticky and viscous mass when left at open air. To understand why does it happen, let’s do an experiment. 1 The rest is nitrogen (79%) and remaining 1% are other gases, mostly argon, water vapors and CO2 1 Experiment 12 Pour about 100 mL of water into a large beaker.

    AP Chemistry Textbook : Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 4th ed. Nivaldo Tro. Course: Chemistry 130 is a study of fundamental chemistry principles, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, kinetic theory, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, solutions, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry and equilibrium. Recommended for pre-professional, engineering and related science and medicine majors. I hope to create a similar college classroom experience to prepare the students for the next steps they will take in college. Students will learn through teacher lead discussions as well as laboratory inquiry experiences throughout the year. The course is structured around the enduring understandings within the six big ideas described in the AP Chemistry Curriculum Framework. Attendance : The students are expected to be a class on time ready to learn everyday. As a part of this course there will be a one day per week zero hour lab section starting at 7:00 am. Students are expected to be on time and if there is a prelab exercise it is due upon arrival. If it is not completed the student will not be able to participate in the laboratory activity. Grading: The grades will be weighted in this class. ● Homework/Quizzes 15% ● Exams (~ 3 exams/9 weeks) 55% ● Labs 30% (25% of the instructional time will be devoted to laboratory experience) Students will be performing labs and lab reports in line with expectations of an introductory college level chemistry course and allow students to apply the seven science practices of the AP Framework. They will focus on developing good laboratory technique as well as an inquiry and guided inquiry approach to performing in lab.

  • Organic Functional Group Analysis
    Experiment 1 1 Laboratory Experiments for GOB Chemistry ___________________________________________________________________________________________ I ORGANIC FUNCTIONAL GROUP ANALYSIS I. OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND This experiment will introduce you to some of the more common functional groups of organic chemistry. The functional group is that portion of the molecule that undergoes a structural change during a chemical reaction. The functional groups that will be studied in this experiment are carboxylic acid, amines aldehyde, ketone, alcohols and alkenes. You will learn chemical tests that will allow you to distinguish one functional group from another. You will use the chemical tests to identify the functionality of an unknown organic compound. In addition, you will use a water solubility test to determine whether your organic compound is of high or low formula weight. The chemical tests you will perform make up a sequence of experiments designed to determine the absence of or suggest the presence of particular functional groups. The complete sequence is shown in the flow diagram on page 8. This diagram can serve you in several ways: It is a summary of the procedure that you are to follow in classifying your unknown as one of the functional group types. It can order your thoughts as you read the discussion of each test, and help you to understand the significance of that test. It can enhance your appreciation for and enjoyment of this experiment. Your role is that of chemist and detective: you will employ this cleverly devised scheme to sleuth out the identity of your unknown's functionality.

  • Comparative Strengths of Four Organic Bases in Benzene1 Marion Maclean Davis and Hannah B
    Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards Vol. 48, No. 5, May 1952 Research Paper 2326 Comparative Strengths of Four Organic Bases in Benzene1 Marion Maclean Davis and Hannah B. Hetzer Spectropho to metric studies have shown that the reaction of the base 1,3-di-o-tolylguani- dine with the acidic indicator dye bromophthalein magenta E (tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester) in benzene at 25° C, like the reactions of 1,3-diphenylguanidine and 1,2,3-tri- phenylguanidine with the same indicator, can be represented by the following two equations: B + HA ^ BH+.A- (colorless base) (yellow acid) (magenta salt) BH+.A- + B^(BHB)+A- (blue salt) For ditolylguanidine, the equilibrium constants K\ and K2 for the first and second reactions, respectively, are estimated to be 1.1 X106 and 6.4. These values are compared with values for Ki and K2 previously found for di- and triphenylguanidine and the value of Ki found for triethylamine. The values for K\, which measure the relative tendencies of the bases to form salts with the indicator acid in benzene, would be expected to parallel the ionic dissociation constants of the bases in water. However, the parallelism is not good. Diphenylguanidine and ditolylguariidine, which are presumed to be weaker bases in water than triethylamine, are much more reactive in benzene. The results demonstrate how misleading the aqueous dissociation constants may be as a gage of the relative reactivities of bases in a nonaqueous solvent such as benzene. Steric and solvation effects are discussed. 1. Introduction i optical instruments then available, it was possible to make only roughly quantitative comparisons of Hantzsch and his coworkers were the first to J acidic strengths.

  • Chapter 14 – Acid-Base Equilibria Most Solutions That Occur in Nature Are Slightly Acidic. One Reason for This Is That When C
    Chapter 14 – Acid-Base Equilibria Most solutions that occur in nature are slightly acidic. One reason for this is that when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, H2CO3. Basic solutions that exist in nature typically have limited direct exposure to air. For example, your blood is slightly basic and, under ideal circumstances, is not open to the air. Likewise, peach pits contain strychnine, an organic base, which is not protonated because of the shell that seals out the atmosphere. Figure 14.2 (p. 769) lists the pHs of some common substances. Note that only seawater occurs openly in nature with a pH over 7. We’ll see why before this chapter is through. 14.1 Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases Earlier, in Chapter 2, you were given quick working definitions of acids and bases. We will now expand on those definitions, but begin with a short reminder of how acids and bases were originally identified and characterized. Acidic solutions generally have a sour taste (e.g. grapefruit and lemon juices) and dissolve certain metals. Bases have a bitter taste and feel slippery. The slippery feeling comes from the base breaking down oils and fatty acids in your hands. The old lye soap used a century ago cleaned by removing the top layer of skin and anything that was attached to it. Modern soaps use a different type of active chemical that doesn’t react with your skin. The first good definition of acids and bases was proposed by Arrhenius (the same person who proposed activation energy). He proposed that acids were substances that produces H+ ions in water and bases were substances that produces OH- ions in water.
