Document Summary

Chemistry 178- cristina bonaccorsi - exam two study guide. Based on the chemical formula, determine the strength of acids and bases by checking the known strong acids. The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base and vice versa. Hbr is one of the strong acids. Hcl is a stronger acid than hf (which is fairly weak) f - is a strong. Hclo is one of the seven strong acids the acid with the more o atoms. H 2 so 4 is a stronger acid than h 2 s - so hs - is the stronger conjugate base. Acid base equilibria favor formation of the weaker acid and base. Compare the is stronger [see section 16. 10] conjugate base of hf relative strengths of the substances acting as acids on opposite sides of the equation (bases can also be compared; the conclusions should more or less be the same)

We measure the pH of a solution experimentally in two ways. In the first of these we use a chemical an indicator, which is sensitive to pH. These substances have colors that change over a relatively short two pH units) and can, when properly chosen, be used to determine roughly the pH of a solu- called H range on. Two very common indicators are litmus, usually used on paper, and phenolphthalein, the most common indicator in acid-base titrations. Litmus changes from red to blue as the pH of a solution goes from about 6 to about 8. Phenolphthalein changes from colorless to red as the pH goes from 8 to 10. A given indicator is useful for determining pH only in the region in which it changes color. Indicators are available for measure- ment of pH in all the important ranges of acidity and basicity. By matching the color of a suitable indicator in a solution of known pH with that in an unknown solution, one can determine the pH of the unknown to within about 0.3 pH units. The other method for finding pH is with a device called a pH meter. In this device two electrodes, one of which is sensitive to [H'], are immersed in a solution. The potential between the two electrodes is related to the pH. The pH meter is designed so that the scale will directly furnish the pH of the solution. A pH meter gives much more precise measurement of pH than does a typical indicator and is ordinarily used when an accurate determination of pH is needed Some acids and bases undergo substantial ionization in water, and are called strong because of their essentially complete ionization in reasonably dilute solutions. Other acids and bases, because of incomplete ionization (often far less than even 1% in 0.1 M solution), are called weak Hydrochloric acid, HCl, and sodium hydroxide, NaOH, are typical examples of a strong acid and a strong base. Acetic acid, HCH,0, and ammonia, NH, are classic examples of a weak acid and a weak base. A weak acid will ionize according to the Law of Chemical Equilibrium HB(aq)H'(a) B (aq) 3)
