review: Arrhenius theory of ACIDS and BASES
• An acid is a substance that dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions (H+)
• A base is a substance that dissociates in water to
release hydroxide ions (OH-)
➧ Arrhenius acids increase the H+ concentration, so they must contain an H atom
➧ Arrhenius bases increase the OH-‐ concentration, so they must contain an OH group
➧ Neutralization according to Arrhenius:
An acid and a base react to produce a SALT and WATER; reaction takes place in water:
➧ net ionic equation:

Corrections to the Arrhenius theory:
➧ does H+ exist on its own in water?
remember: water is a polar molecule
H+
-‐-‐> has a positive and a negative pole
Hydrogen ions (H+ = protons) attach themselves
to a water molecule and form hydronium (H3O+) ions in water.
what really happens:
remember: H+ is only a proton

Brønsted-‐Lowry theory of acids and bases
An acid is a substance in which a proton (=hydrogen ion) can be removed. An acid is a PROTON DONOR.
A base is a substance that can remove a proton from another substance. A base is a PROTON ACCEPTOR.
➧ Like Arrhenius acids, Brønsted-‐Lowry acids must contain an H atom
➧ All negative ions, not only (OH-‐), and also neutral molecules can be Brønsted-‐Lowry bases.
➧ Neutralization is the transfer of a proton from one substance to another.
➧ A substance behaves as an acid or a base rather than is an acid or a base.

compound formed after an acid released a proton is called the conjugate base of that acid
compound formed after base accepted a proton is called the conjugate acid of that base

pH and pOH
The pH is a measure of the H+ / H3O+ concentration of a solution:
pH = -‐ log[H+]
Examples:
[H+] = 1.0 x 10-7 mol/L
[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-5mol/L
[H+] = 1.0 x 10-3.7mol/L
[H+] = 2.0 x 10-4 mol/L
The pOH is a measure of the HO- concentration of a solution:
pOH = -‐ log[OH-]
A solution has a pH = 4.5 -‐ what is the H+ concentration?
A solution has a pOH = 3 -‐ what is the OH- concentration?

To a very small degree water dissociates /ionizes into H+ and OH-‐ according to the following EQUILIBRIUM:
Equilibrium using hydronium ion:
Equilibrium constant
Constant called: ion product constant of water (KW)
KW = [H+]·∙[OH-‐] = 10-14
If equilibrium is disturbed by addition of H+, what will happen?
[H+]·∙[OH-‐] = 10-14

• reverse reaction is favoured
• new equilibrium

10-‐2 mol/L ?
What is the new OH-‐ concentration if [H+] = 10-‐2?

Rule between pH and pOH:
if KW = [H+]·∙[OH-‐] = 10-14
➔ pH + pOH = 14
Examples:pH of a solution is ..., what is its pOH?

[H3O+] = equilibrium concentra'on of H3O+
[HAtotal] = concentra'on of acid (ini'al concentra'on)

strong/weak bases -‐ Basicity constant
strong bases -‐ predominantly contain OH-‐ and fully dissociate into ions in water:
B(OH)(aq) B+ + OH-‐
weak bases -‐ usually don't contain OH-‐ and attain a dissociation equilibrium in water:
B(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ HB+ + OH-‐
Kb =
Kb = basicity constant
[HB+] = equilibrium concentra'on of HB+
(=conjugate acid)
[OH-‐] = equilibrium concentra'on of OH-‐
[B] = concentra'on of base B at equilibrium (ICE-‐table required!!!)
The weaker the base, the smaller Kb
