Acid-base reactions
An acid-base reaction is often called neutralization
reaction. When just enough base is added to react
exactly with the acid in a solution, we say the acid
has been neutralized.
In this section, we will discuss the changes that
occur in pH during an acid base titration.

(cont.)
E. 100.0 ml (total) of 0.1M NaOH has been added.
At this point the amount of NaOH that has been added is
100ml x 0.1M = 10.0 mmol.
The original amount of HCl was 50.0 ml x 0.2M = 10.0
mmol.
At that point, the major species are Na+, Cl- and H2O,
and the solution is neutral. (The pH is 7.0)

(cont.)
F. 150 ml (total) of 0.1m NaOH has been added
H+ + OH- H2O
Before reaction 50.0x0.2 150x0.1
= 10.0 mmol =15.0 mmol
After reaction 10.0-10.0 15.0-10.0
= 0 mmol = 5.0(excess OH- added)
After reaction,
[OH-]= mmol of OH- excess/volume of solution
ml = 5.0/ (50.0+150.0) = 0.025 M
[H+] = 1.0x10-14/2.5x10-2 = 4.0x10-13M pH = 12.40

The results of the previous steps are
summarized by the pH curve shown in

Calculating pH of weak acid solutions
For weak acid, as they are not 100%
ionized in water, the previous steps to
calculate the pH can’t be valid but we should
take in account the dissociation constant Ka
which is much more complicated.
13
Example
Calculate the pH of 1.00M solution of HF (Ka = 7.2x10-4).
HF H+ + F-
As HF is a weak acid let us consider that the amount dissociated
from it equal x, thus [H+] and [F-] = x and that of [HF]
decreased by x
but this last decrease can be approximated as it is less
than 1% of the original concentration, thus
K = [H+][F-] 7.2x10-4 = (x)(x)
[HF] 1.00
X2 = (7.2x10-4)(1.00)
X = 2.7x10-2 (x= is the actual amount of H+ present in solution)
pH = -log(2.7x10-2) = 1.57 ,
That is pH= -log K [acid] (Relation commonly USED)

Example:
Calculate the pH of a 0.30 M NaF solution.
The Ka value for HF is 7.2x10-4.
Kb = Kw / Ka = 1.0x10-14/7.2x10-4 = 1.4x10-11
19
Example:
Calculate the pH of a 0.01 M NH4Cl
solution. The Kb value for NH3 is 1.8x10-5.
Recalling that Ka X Kb = Kw
Ka= 1.0x10-14/1.8x10-5 = 5.6x10-10

Solutions of acids or bases containing
common ion
Suppose that we have a solution containing the
weak acid hydrofluoric acid (HF , Ka = 7.2x10-4) and
its salt sodium fluoride (NaF).
Recall that when a salt dissolves in water, it breaks
up completely into its ions, (it is strong electrolyte).
NaF(s) Na+(aq) + F-(aq)
Since hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid it will only
slightly dissociate.
The common ion in this solution is F- since it is
produced by both hydrofluoric acid and sodium
fluoride.
What effect does the presence of the
dissolved sodium fluoride have on the
dissociation equilibrium of hydrofluoric acid?
21
Solutions of acids or bases containing
common ion (cont.)
The dissociation equilibrium for HF can be represented as:
HF(aq) H+(aq) + F-(aq)
While in the presence of F- ions from the NaF, according to
Le Chatelier’s principle, the extent of dissociation of HF
will be less in the presence of dissolved NaF:
HF(aq) H+(aq) + F-(aq)
23
Example
If the equilibrium concentration of H+ in a 1.0M HF solution is
2.7x10-2M and the percent dissociation of HF is 2.7%. Calculate
[H+] and the percent dissociation of HF in a solution containing
1.0M HF (Ka = 7.2x10-4) and 1.0M NaF.
The acid dissociation equilibrium that controls [H+] in this
solution.
HF(aq) H+(aq) + F-(Aq)
Ka = [H+][F-] / [HF] = 7.2x10-4
Notice that: the [F-] = 1.0M plus (x) which is resulting
from the dissociation of HF
[H ][F ] (x)(1.0 x) (x)(1.0)
K 7.2x10 4
(1.0 x)
a
[HF] (1.0)
x= [H+] = 7.2X10-4 M, Notice that, x is much small compared to
the original concentration.
pH =- log 7.2X10-4 = 3.14 24
Example (cont.)
The percent dissociation (defined as the amount of protons
produced divided by the original acid concentration) in this
solution is:
[H ] 7.2x10 4 M
x 100 x 100 0.072%
[HF]0 1.0M
Compare these values for [H+] and percent dissociation of HF with those for a
1.0M HF solution, where [H+] =2.7x10-2 M and the percent dissociation is
2.7%.
The large difference shows clearly that the presence of the F- ions
from the dissolved NaF greatly inhibits the dissociation of HF.
31
(example cont.)
Applying Hasselbalch-Handrerson
equation
pH = pKa + log [base]/[acid]
5 1.0/60.0
log1.8x10 log
4.0/60.0
pH = 4.14
32
(example cont.)
C. 25.0 ml (total) of 0.1 M NaOH has been
added
The procedure is similar to point B. the stoichiometry will be:
33
(example cont.)
This is a special point in the titration because it is
halfway to the equivalence point.
The original solution, 50.0 ml of 0.1 M HC2H3O2
contained 5.0 mmol HC2H3O2 and this requires 5.0
mmol NaOH for equivalence.
After 25.0 ml NaOH is added, half the original
HC2H3O2 is converted to C2H3O2-. At this point,
their concentration will be equal then
35
(example cont.)
Therefore,
36
(example cont.)
This is an important result: the pH at the
equivalence point of a weak acid with a strong base
is always greater than 7.
37
(example cont.)
E. 60.0 ml (total) of 0.1 M NaOH has been added.
At this point excess OH- has been added. The stoichiometry
will be
