the conjugate base of the acid H2O. - A compound that can act as either an acid or a
base, such as the H2O in the above examples, is
called amphoteric

24pH and acidity
The pH values of several common substances are
shown at the right. Many common foods are weak
acids Some medicines and many household cleaners
are bases.
25Indicators Substances that change color when the
concentration of hydrogen changes.
26Neutralization
- An acid will neutralize a base, giving a salt
and water as products - Examples
- HCl NaOH ? NaCl
H2O - H2SO4 2 NaOH ? Na2SO4 2 H2O
- H3PO4 3 KOH ? K3PO4 3 H2O
- 2 HCl Ca(OH) 2 ? CaCl2 2 H2O
27Neutralization Problems
- moles acid moles base
- If an acid and a base combine in a 1 to 1 ratio,
then the volume of the acid multiplied by the
concentration of the acid is equal to the volume
of the base multiplied by the concentration of
the base - Vacid M acid V base M base
28Neutralization Problems
- Example 1
- HCl KOH ? KCl H2O
- If 15.00 cm3 of 0.500 M HCl exactly
neutralizes 24.00 cm3 of KOH solution, what is
the concentration of the KOH solution? -
29Neutralization Problems
- Whenever an acid and a base do not combine in
a 1 to 1 ratio, a mole factor must be added to
the neutralization equation - n Vacid C acid V base C base
- The mole factor (n) is the number of times
the moles the acid side of the above equation
must be multiplied so as to equal the base side.
(or vice versa) - Example
- H2SO4 2 NaOH ? Na2SO4 2 H2O
-
- moles base 2 x moles acid
30Neutralization Problems
- Example 3
- H3PO4 3 KOH ? K3PO4 3 H2O
- If 30.00 cm3 of 0.300 M KOH exactly
neutralizes 15.00 cm3 of H3PO4 solution, what
is the concentration of the H3PO4 solution? - Solution
-
31Neutralization Problems
- Example 2 Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium
hydroxide according to the following reaction - H2SO4 2 NaOH ? Na2SO4 2 H2O
- If 20.00 cm3 of 0.400 M H2SO4 exactly
neutralizes 32.00 cm3 of NaOH solution, what is
the concentration of the NaOH solution? - Solution
- In this case the mole factor is 2 and it goes on
the acid side, since the mole ratio of acid to
base is 1 to 2. Therefore - 2 Vacid Cacid Vbase Cbase
- 2 (20.00 cm3 )(0.400 M) (32.00 cm3 )
Cbase - Cbase (2) (20.00 cm3 )(0.400 M)
- (32.00 cm3 )
- Cbase 0.500 M
32Neutralization Problems
- Example 4
- 2 HCl Ca(OH)2 ? CaCl2 2 H2O
- If 25.00 cm3 of 0.400 M HCl exactly
neutralizes 20.00 cm3 of Ca(OH)2 solution, what
is the concentration of the Ca(OH)2 solution? -
33 34Acid Base Dissociation
Acid-base reactions are equilibrium
processes. The relationship between the relative
concentrations of the reactants and products is a
constant for a given temperature. It is known as
the Acid or Base Dissociation Constant Ka and
Kb The stronger the acid or base, the larger the
value of the dissociation constant.

The conjugate base is weaker and has a
negligible tendency to be
protonated. - Weak Acid - Transfers only a fraction of its
protons to water - - Partly ionized - Weak

46Amphoteric Solutions
- A chemical compound able to react with both an
acid or a base is amphoteric. - Water is amphoteric. The two acid-base couples of
water are H3O/H2O and H2O/OH-It behaves
sometimes like an acid, for example - And sometimes like a base
- Hydrogen carbonate ion HCO3- is also amphoteric,
it belongs to the two acid-base couples
H2CO3/HCO3- and HCO3-/CO32-
47Common Ion Effect
- The common ion effect is a consequence of Le
Chateliers Principle - When the salt with the anion (i.e. the conjugate
base) of a weak acid is added to that acid, - It reverses the dissociation of the acid.
- Lowers the percent dissociation of the acid.
- A similar process happens when the salt with the
cation (i.e, conjugate acid) is added to a weak
base. - These solutions are known as Buffer Solutions.
48Buffers
- A buffer solution is na aqueous solution that
resists a change in pH when a small amount of
acid, base or water is added to it. - Acidic Buffers Weak acid and its salt

60Titration Curves
- Simulations http//chem-ilp.net/labTechniques/Aci
dBaseIdicatorSimulation.htm - A graph showing pH vs volume of acid or base
added - The pH shows a sudden change near the equivalence
point - The equivalence point is the point at which the
moles of OH- are equal to the moles of H3O - The end point is when the indicatorchanges
color acurate to the addition of one dro.
61Equivalence Point x End Pointhttp//www.chem.ubc.
ca/courseware/pH/section15/index.html
- The endpoint of a titration is NOT the same thing
as the equivalence point. - The equivalence point is a single point defined
by the reaction stoichiometry as the point at
which the base (or acid) added exactly
neutralizes the acid (or base) being titrated. - The endpoint is defined by the choice of
indicator as the point at which the colour
changes. Depending on how quickly the colour
changes, the endpoint can occur almost
instantaneously or be quite wide. - Intuition may suggest that the endpoint of the
titration will occur at the equivalence point if
we choose an indicator whose pKa is equal to the
pH of the equivalence point
62Indicators Substances that change color when
the concentration of hydrogen changes. The choice
of an indicator is determined by the pH of the
solution at the equivalence point
http//www.avogadro.co.uk/chemeqm/acidbase/titrati
on/phcurves.htm
63- An indicator is a solution of a weak acid in
which the the conjugate base has a different
color from that of the undissociated acid - Given na aqueous solution of na indicator HIn(aq)
- HIn(aq) ? H(aq) In-(aq)
- Color A Color
B - (in acid solution) ( in basic
solution) - The end point of the indicator will be when pH
pkIN - At low pH we see color A
- At high pH we see color B
64Strong acid-strong base
- At equivalence point, Veq
- Moles of H3O Moles of OH-
- There is a sharp rise in the pH as one approaches
the equivalence point - With a strong acid and a strong base, the
equivalence point is at - pH 7
- Indicators methyl red and phenophtalein
- Change between 4 and 10
65- a strong acid-strong base has a very sharp
equivalence point, meaning that a very large
change in pH occurs due to the addition of a very
small amount of titrant, often a single drop. - . This means that any indicator that starts to
change colour in this range will signal equally
well that the equivalence point has been reached. - Any acid-base indicator that changes colour
between pH 4 and pH 10 is suitable to detect the
end-point for a strong acid - strong base
titration. Both methyl orange and phenolphthalein
could be used. Just one drop of the added base
will bring about a change in colour of the
indicator.

68Weak acid-strong base
- The increase in pH is more gradual as one
approaches the equivalence point - With a weak acid and a strong base, the
equivalence point is higher than pH 7 - CH3COOH NaOH
- Ka
- Indicator phenophtalein
69WEAK ACID - STRONG BASE
NaOH(aq) HF(aq) ? NaF(aq) H2O(l)
70Strong Acid X Weak Base
- The equivalence point is below 7 because the salt
(NH4Cl) formed at the neutralization reacts with
water to give H ions. The equivalence point lies
at about pH 5.3. It is, therefore necessary to
use an indicator with pH range slightly on the
acidic side. Methyl orange can be used.
Phenolphthalein is not suitable because its
colour change occurs away from the equivalence
point.
71Weak Acid Weak Base
- There will hardly be a pH change around the
equivalence point
72Buffered Weak Acid-Strong Base Titration Curve
- The initial pH is higher than the unbuffered acid
- As with a weak acid and a strong base, the
equivalence point for a buffered weak acid is
higher than pH 7 - The conjugate base is strong enough to affect the
pH
73Polyprotic Weak Acid-Strong Base Titration Curve
- Phosphoric Acid has three hydrogen ions.
- There are three equivalence points

- The acidity of a salt also depends on the size
and charge of the anion. - Aluminum chloride reacts vigorously with water to
produce a strong acidic solution. - AlCl3(s) 3H2O(l) ? Al(OH )3 (s) 3HCl(g)
amphoteric nature - The charge of aluminum is spread over the small
ion giving it a high charge density. It will then
attract six pair of electrons forming the
hexahydrated ion CC page 155 - http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolysis
- The greater the charge of nthe ion or
