TITRATIONS 

ACIDS.​- a substance that produces hydrogen ions, H+, in an aqueous solution.

● Taste sour
● React with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. (Zn, Fe, Mg, etc.)
● Changes litmus paper red
● Conducts electricity
● Reacts with bases to form salt, water.
● Arrhenius Acid​ - produces H+ ions or hydronium ions, like HCl
● Bronsted-Lowry acid​: proton donor
○ A proton is really just a hydrogen atom that has lost an electron.

MONOPROTIC AND POLYPROTIC ACIDS


● Monoprotic: can donate only one hydrogen ion per molecule (HCl)
● Diprotic: can donate two hydrogen ions per molecule (H2SO4)
● Triprotic acids: can donate three hydrogen ions per molecule (H3PO4)

BASES​.- a substance that produces hydroxide ions, OH-, in an aqueous solution.

● Arrhenius base​: produce OH- ions like NaOH


○ One problem is that not all bases do not produce hydroxide ions.
● Bronsted-Lowry base:​ proton acceptor.
● Tastes bitter
● Feel slippery or soapy
● Conduct electricity
● Changes litmus paper blue
● Reacts with acids to form salts and water
● Alkali: a soluble base. When dissolved on water, alkalis all release the hydroxide ion.

CONJUGATE PAIRS​, when one of the misses an electron compared to it´s pair.

AMPOTHERIC / AMPHIPROTIC SUBSTANCES

● Substances that can act like Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases, meaning they can
either accept or donate a proton.
● These features allow them to have a double identity:
○ To be an acid, they must be able to dissociate and release H+
○ To act as base, must be able to accept H+, which means they must have a
non bonding pair of electrons.
● Water is a perfect example- it can donate H+ and has two lone pairs of electrons.
○ Autoionization of water:
○ H2O + H2O <--- → H3O+ + OH-
● Amphoteric: can act as either acid or base
● Amphiprotic: type of amphoteric substance that can act as a base or acid but by
specifically donating or accepting hydrogen ions.

STRENGTH OF ACIDS AND BASES

● Strong acids and bases of equal concentrations have higher conductivity than weak
acids and bases.
● A strong acid is a good proton donor, and has a weak conjugate base.
● A strong base is a good proton acceptor, and has a weak conjugate acid.
● A strong acid ionizes completely in aqueous solutions
○ HCl, HBr, HI, HNO​3​, H2SO​4​, HCIO​4
● A weak acid releases few hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions
● As with acids, the strength of a base depends on the extent to which it dissociates or
adds hydroxide ions, to the solution.
● Seven strong bases completely ionize in water.
○ LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Sr(OH)​2​, Ba(OH)​2​, Ca(OH)​2
● Bases are strong when there are lots of OH​-​ ions in solution, because the compounds
dissociate well.

% ionization = (amount ionized / initial concentration) *100

KEY REACTIONS

1. Acid + base → salt + water


2. Acid + metal → salt + hydrogen
3. Acid + metal carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide

NEUTRALIZATION

● Net ionic equation is H​+​(aq) + OH​-​(aq) <--→ H​2​O (l)


THE pH SCALE

● pH is a measurement of the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution while the


pOH scale measures the concentration of hydroxide ions.
○ pH + pOH = 14
○ [H​+​] = 10​-pH
○ [OH​-​] = 10​-pOH

pH= -log​10​[H​+​]
○ pOH= -log [OH​-​]
● Goes from 0 to 14
● pH 7 is neutral, anything less than 7 is acidic and anything more than 7 is basic.
● pH 1 is ten times stronger than pH 2, pH1 is a hundred timed stronger than pH 3, and
so on...

LOGARITHMIC SCALE

● Is a nonlinear scale used when there is a large range of quantities. Common uses
include earthquake strength.
