The BrnstedLowry Theory


Arrhenius theory: an acid forms H+ in water; and a base forms OH in water. But not all acidbase reactions involve water, and many bases (NH3, carbonates) do not contain any OH. BrnstedLowry theory defines acids and bases in terms of proton (H+) transfer. A BrnstedLowry acid is a proton donor. A BrnstedLowry base is a proton acceptor. The conjugate base of an acid is the acid minus the proton it has donated. The conjugate acid of a base is the base plus the accepted proton.

Strength of Conjugate AcidBase Pairs


A stronger acid can donate H+ more readily than a weaker acid. The stronger an acid, the weaker is its conjugate base. The stronger a base, the weaker is its conjugate acid. An acidbase reaction is favored in the direction from the stronger member to the weaker member of each conjugate acidbase pair.

Acid/Base Strength and Direction of Equilibrium


In Table 15.1, HBr lies above CH3COOH in the acid column. Since HBr is a stronger acid than CH3COOH, the equilibrium for the reaction:

Weaker base
Weaker acid lies to the left.

Stronger base

Stronger acid

We reach the same conclusion by comparing the strengths of the bases (right column of Table 15.1). CH3COO lies below Br ; CH3COO is the stronger base:

Strong Acids
The strong acidsHCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4are considered strong because they ionize completely in water. The strong acids all appear above H3O+ in Table 15.1. The strong acids are leveled to the same strengthto that of H3O+when they are placed in water.

Periodic Trends in Acid Strength


The greater the tendency for HX (general acid) to transfer a proton to H2O, the more the forward reaction is favored and the stronger the acid. A factor that makes it easier for the H+ to leave will increase the strength of the acid. Acid strength is inversely proportional to HX bond-dissociation energy. Weaker HX bond => stronger acid. Acid strength is directly proportional to anion radius. Larger X radius => stronger acid.

Strengths of Amines as Bases


Aromatic amines are much weaker bases than aliphatic amines. This is due in part to the fact that the p electrons in the benzene ring of an aromatic molecule are delocalized and can involve the nitrogen atoms lone-pair electrons in the resonance hybrid. As a result, the lone-pair electrons are much less likely to accept a proton. Electron-withdrawing groups on the ring further diminish the basicity of aromatic amines relative to aniline.

Self-Ionization of Water
Even pure water conducts some electricity. This is due to the fact that water self-ionizes:

The equilibrium constant for this process is called the ion product of water (Kw). At 25 C, Kw = 1.0 x 1014 = [H3O+][OH] This equilibrium constant is very important because it applies to all aqueous solutionsacids, bases, salts, and nonelectrolytesnot just to pure water.

Chapter Fifteen

27

The pH Scale
Concentration of H3O+ can vary over a wide range in aqueous solution, from about 10 M to about 1014 M. A more convenient expression for H3O+ is pH. pH = log [H3O+] and so [H3O+] = 10pH The negative logarithm function of pH is so useful that it has been applied to other species and constants. pOH = log [OH] and so [OH] = 10pOH pKw = log Kw At 25 C, pKw = 14.00 pKw = pH + pOH = 14.00

Ions as Acids and Bases


HCl is a strong acid, therefore Cl is so weakly basic in water that a solution of chloride ions (such as NaCl) is virtually neutral. Acetic acid, CH3COOH, is a weak acid, so acetate ion, CH3COO, is significantly basic in water. A solution of sodium acetate (which dissociates completely into sodium and acetate ions in water) is therefore slightly basic: CH3COO + H2O CH3COOH + OH

Buffer Solutions
Many industrial and biochemical reactionsespecially enzyme-catalyzed reactionsare sensitive to pH. To work with such reactions we often need a solution that maintains a nearly-constant pH. A buffer solution is a solution that changes pH only slightly when small amounts of a strong acid or a strong base are added. A buffer contains significant concentrations of both a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

Prentice Hall 2005

General Chemistry 4th edition, Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry

Chapter Fifteen

52

Buffer Solutions (contd)


The acid component of the buffer neutralizes small added amounts of OH, forming the weaker conjugate base which does not affect pH much: HA + OH H2O + A The base component neutralizes small added amounts of H3O+, forming the weaker conjugate acid which does not affect pH much. A + H3O+ H2O + HA Pure water does not buffer at all
Prentice Hall 2005 Chapter Fifteen

General Chemistry 4th edition, Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry

Pure water increases in pH by about 5 pH units when the OH is added, and decreases by about 5 pH units when the H3O+ is added.

53

In contrast, the same amounts of OH and H3O+ added to a buffer solution barely change the pH.

54

An Equation for Buffer Solutions


In certain applications, there is a need to repeat the calculations of the pH of buffer solutions many times. This can be done with a single, simple equation, but there are some limitations. The HendersonHasselbalch equation: [conjugate base] pH = pKa + log [weak acid]

To use this equation, the ratio [conjugate base]/[weak acid] must have a value between 0.1010 and both concentrations must exceed Ka by a factor of 100 or more.

Buffer Capacity and Buffer Range


There is a limit to the ability of a buffer solution to neutralize added acid or base. This buffer capacity is reached before either buffer component has been consumed. In general, the more concentrated the buffer components in a solution, the more added acid or base the solution can neutralize. As a rule, a buffer is most effective if the concentrations of the buffer acid and its conjugate base are equal or nearly so. Therefore, a buffer is most effective when the desired pH of the buffer is very near pKa of the weak acid of the buffer.

AcidBase Indicators
An acidbase indicator is a weak acid or base. The acid form (HA) of the indicator has one color, the conjugate base (A) has a different color. One of the colors may be colorless. In an acidic solution, [H3O+] is high. Because H3O+ is a common ion, it suppresses the ionization of the indicator acid, and we see the color of HA. In a basic solution, [OH] is high, and it reacts with HA, forming the color of A. Acidbase indicators are often used for applications in which a precise pH reading isnt necessary.

Neutralization Reactions
At the equivalence point in an acidbase titration, the acid and base have been brought together in precise stoichiometric proportions. The endpoint is the point in the titration at which the indicator changes color. Ideally, the indicator is selected so that the endpoint and the equivalence point are very close together. The endpoint and the equivalence point for a neutralization titration can be best matched by plotting a titration curve, a graph of pH versus volume of titrant.

Titration Curve, Strong Acid with Strong Base

Bromphenol blue, bromthymol blue, and phenolphthalein all change color at very nearly 20.0 mL

At about what volume would we see a color change if we used methyl violet as the indicator?

Titration Curve, Weak Acid with Strong Base


The equivalence-point pH is NOT 7.00 here. Why not??

69

Bromphenol blue was ok for the strong acid/strong base titration, but it changes color far too early to be useful here.

Lewis Acids and Bases


There are reactions in nonaqueous solvents, in the gaseous state, and even in the solid state that can be considered acidbase reactions which BrnstedLowry theory is not adequate to explain. A Lewis acid is a species that is an electron-pair acceptor and a Lewis base is a species that is an electron-pair donor. CaO(s) + SO2(g) CaSO3(s)
Sulfur accepts an electron pair from the oxygen of CaO

In organic chemistry, Lewis acids are often called electrophiles (electron-loving) and Lewis bases are often called nucleophiles (nucleus-loving).
