\[\ce{\dfrac{[H3O+]_{eq}}{[HNO2]_0}}100 \nonumber \]. \[\frac{\left ( 1.2gNaH \right )}{2.0L}\left ( \frac{molNaH}{24.0g} \right )\left ( \frac{molOH^-}{molNaH} \right )=0.025M OH^- \\ What is the pH of a solution made by dissolving 1.21g calcium oxide to a total volume of 2.00 L? At equilibrium, the value of the equilibrium constant is equal to the reaction quotient for the reaction: \[\begin{align*} K_\ce{a} &=\ce{\dfrac{[H3O+][CH3CO2- ]}{[CH3CO2H]}} \\[4pt] &=\dfrac{(0.00118)(0.00118)}{0.0787} \\[4pt] &=1.7710^{5} \end{align*} \nonumber \]. solution of acidic acid. And our goal is to calculate the pH and the percent ionization. In this section we will apply equilibrium calculations from chapter 15 to Acids, Bases and their Salts. Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M solution of propanoic acid and determine its percent ionization. the balanced equation showing the ionization of acidic acid. The conjugate acid of \(\ce{NO2-}\) is HNO2; Ka for HNO2 can be calculated using the relationship: \[K_\ce{a}K_\ce{b}=1.010^{14}=K_\ce{w} \nonumber \], \[\begin{align*} K_\ce{a} &=\dfrac{K_\ce{w}}{K_\ce{b}} \\[4pt] &=\dfrac{1.010^{14}}{2.1710^{11}} \\[4pt] &=4.610^{4} \end{align*} \nonumber \], This answer can be verified by finding the Ka for HNO2 in Table E1. Many acids and bases are weak; that is, they do not ionize fully in aqueous solution. we look at mole ratios from the balanced equation. Salts of a weak base and a strong acid form acidic solutions because the conjugate acid of the weak base protonates water. What is the equilibrium constant for the ionization of the \(\ce{HSO4-}\) ion, the weak acid used in some household cleansers: \[\ce{HSO4-}(aq)+\ce{H2O}(l)\ce{H3O+}(aq)+\ce{SO4^2-}(aq) \nonumber \]. Show Answer We can rank the strengths of bases by their tendency to form hydroxide ions in aqueous solution. of our weak acid, which was acidic acid is 0.20 Molar. These acids are completely dissociated in aqueous solution. This is all over the concentration of ammonia and that would be the concentration of ammonia at equilibrium is 0.500 minus X. Determine x and equilibrium concentrations. And it's true that Also, this concentration of hydronium ion is only from the How to Calculate pH and [H+] The equilibrium equation yields the following formula for pH: pH = -log 10 [H +] [H +] = 10 -pH. And since there's a coefficient of one, that's the concentration of hydronium ion raised This means the second ionization constant is always smaller than the first. Thus, O2 and \(\ce{NH2-}\) appear to have the same base strength in water; they both give a 100% yield of hydroxide ion. Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, or O2S(OH)2 (with a sulfur oxidation number of +6), is more acidic than sulfurous acid, H2SO3, or OS(OH)2 (with a sulfur oxidation number of +4). Noting that \(x=10^{-pH}\) and substituting, gives\[K_a =\frac{(10^{-pH})^2}{[HA]_i-10^{-pH}}\], The second type of problem is to predict the pH of a weak acid solution if you know Ka and the acid concentration. ionization to justify the approximation that (Recall the provided pH value of 2.09 is logarithmic, and so it contains just two significant digits, limiting the certainty of the computed percent ionization.) First calculate the hydroxylammonium ionization constant, noting \(K'_aK_b=K_w\) and \(K_b = 8.7x10^{-9}\) for hydroxylamine. Thus, a weak acid increases the hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous solution (but not as much as the same amount of a strong acid). As in the previous examples, we can approach the solution by the following steps: 1. Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by adding 40.00mL of 0.237M HCl to 75.00 mL of a 0.133M solution of NaOH. We said this is acceptable if 100Ka <[HA]i. Water is the acid that reacts with the base, \(\ce{HB^{+}}\) is the conjugate acid of the base \(\ce{B}\), and the hydroxide ion is the conjugate base of water. pOH=-log\left ( \sqrt{\frac{K_w}{K_a}[A^-]_i} \right ) \\ \[HA(aq)+H_2O(l) \rightarrow H_3O^+(aq)+A^-(aq)\]. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is \(\ce{HF < HCl < HBr < HI}\). equilibrium concentration of hydronium ions. Thus a stronger acid has a larger ionization constant than does a weaker acid. So both [H2A]i 100>Ka1 and Ka1 >1000Ka2 . You can write an undissociated acid schematically as HA, or you can write its constituents in solution as H+ (the proton) and A- (the conjugate of the acid). As we discuss these complications we should not lose track of the fact that it is still the purpose of this step to determine the value of \(x\). This is all equal to the base ionization constant for ammonia. The change in concentration of \(\ce{NO2-}\) is equal to the change in concentration of \(\ce{[H3O+]}\). in section 16.4.2.3 we determined how to calculate the equilibrium constant for the conjugate base of a weak acid. We also need to calculate So acidic acid reacts with Using the relation introduced in the previous section of this chapter: \[\mathrm{pH + pOH=p\mathit{K}_w=14.00}\nonumber \], \[\mathrm{pH=14.00pOH=14.002.37=11.60} \nonumber \]. As shown in the previous chapter on equilibrium, the \(K\) expression for a chemical equation derived from adding two or more other equations is the mathematical product of the other equations \(K\) expressions. of hydronium ion, which will allow us to calculate the pH and the percent ionization. we made earlier using what's called the 5% rule. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. Some anions interact with more than one water molecule and so there are some polyprotic strong bases. Calculate the percent ionization of a 0.125-M solution of nitrous acid (a weak acid), with a pH of 2.09. If, on the other hand, the atom E has a relatively high electronegativity, it strongly attracts the electrons it shares with the oxygen atom, making bond a relatively strongly covalent. When [HA]i >100Ka it is acceptable to use \([H^+] =\sqrt{K_a[HA]_i}\). And if x is a really small . So we would have 1.8 times Step 1: Determine what is present in the solution initially (before any ionization occurs). Then use the fact that the ratio of [A ] to [HA} = 1/10 = 0.1. pH = 4.75 + log 10 (0.1) = 4.75 + (1) = 3.75. Likewise nitric acid, HNO3, or O2NOH (N oxidation number = +5), is more acidic than nitrous acid, HNO2, or ONOH (N oxidation number = +3). of hydronium ion and acetate anion would both be zero. The larger the \(K_a\) of an acid, the larger the concentration of \(\ce{H3O+}\) and \(\ce{A^{}}\) relative to the concentration of the nonionized acid, \(\ce{HA}\). The second type of problem is to predict the pH or pOH for a weak base solution if you know Kb and the initial base concentration. One other trend comes out of this table, and that is that the percent ionization goes up and concentration goes down. Acetic acid is the principal ingredient in vinegar; that's why it tastes sour. If \(\ce{A^{}}\) is a strong base, any protons that are donated to water molecules are recaptured by \(\ce{A^{}}\). quadratic equation to solve for x, we would have also gotten 1.9 The pH Scale: Calculating the pH of a . The above answer is obvious nonsense and the reason is that the initial acid concentration greater than 100 times the ionization constant, in fact, it was less. This gives: \[K_\ce{a}=1.810^{4}=\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.534} \nonumber \], \[\begin{align*} x^2 &=0.534(1.810^{4}) \\[4pt] &=9.610^{5} \\[4pt] x &=\sqrt{9.610^{5}} \\[4pt] &=9.810^{3} \end{align*} \nonumber \]. Just like strong acids, strong Bases 100% ionize (K B >>0) and you solve directly for pOH, and then calculate pH from pH + pOH =14. What is the value of \(K_a\) for acetic acid? \[\begin{align} x^2 & =K_a[HA]_i \nonumber \\ x & =\sqrt{K_a[HA]_i} \nonumber \\ [H^+] & =\sqrt{K_a[HA]_i}\end{align}\]. This means that each hydrogen ions from It is to be noted that the strong acids and bases dissociate or ionize completely so their percent ionization is 100%. The table shows initial concentrations (concentrations before the acid ionizes), changes in concentration, and equilibrium concentrations follows (the data given in the problem appear in color): 2. We will usually express the concentration of hydronium in terms of pH. Increasing the oxidation number of the central atom E also increases the acidity of an oxyacid because this increases the attraction of E for the electrons it shares with oxygen and thereby weakens the O-H bond. The ionization constant of \(\ce{NH4+}\) is not listed, but the ionization constant of its conjugate base, \(\ce{NH3}\), is listed as 1.8 105. That is, the amount of the acid salt anion consumed or the hydronium ion produced in the second step (below) is negligible and so the first step determines these concentrations. The percent ionization of a weak acid, HA, is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium HO concentration to the initial HA concentration, multiplied by 100%. In this problem, \(a = 1\), \(b = 1.2 10^{3}\), and \(c = 6.0 10^{3}\). pH = pKa + log_ {10}\dfrac { [A^ {-}]} { [HA]} pH =pK a+log10[H A][A] This means that given an acid's pK a and the relative concentration of anion and "intact" acid, you can determine the pH. Percent ionization is the amount of a compound (acid or base) that has been dissociated and ionized compared to the initial concentration of the compound. \[\ce{CH3CO2H}(aq)+\ce{H2O}(l)\ce{H3O+}(aq)+\ce{CH3CO2-}(aq) \hspace{20px} K_\ce{a}=1.810^{5} \nonumber \]. \[\large{[H^+]= [HA^-] = \sqrt{K_{a1}[H_2A]_i}}\], Knowing hydronium we can calculate hydorixde" with \(K_\ce{b}=\ce{\dfrac{[HA][OH]}{[A- ]}}\). find that x is equal to 1.9, times 10 to the negative third. where the concentrations are those at equilibrium. Legal. Salts of a weak acid and a strong base form basic solutions because the conjugate base of the weak acid removes a proton from water. Therefore, if we write -x for acidic acid, we're gonna write +x under hydronium. We also need to calculate the percent ionization. We will also discuss zwitterions, or the forms of amino acids that dominate at the isoelectric point. So this is 1.9 times 10 to Ka values for many weak acids can be obtained from table 16.3.1 There are two cases. What is the pH of a 0.50-M solution of \(\ce{HSO4-}\)? Just having trouble with this question, anything helps! At equilibrium: \[\begin{align*} K_\ce{a} &=1.810^{4}=\ce{\dfrac{[H3O+][HCO2- ]}{[HCO2H]}} \\[4pt] &=\dfrac{(x)(x)}{0.534x}=1.810^{4} \end{align*} \nonumber \]. Formic acid, HCO2H, is the irritant that causes the bodys reaction to ant stings. acidic acid is 0.20 Molar. This reaction has been used in chemical heaters and can release enough heat to cause water to boil. \[\ce{HSO4-}(aq)+\ce{H2O}(l)\ce{H3O+}(aq)+\ce{SO4^2-}(aq) \hspace{20px} K_\ce{a}=1.210^{2} \nonumber \]. The remaining weak acid is present in the nonionized form. The chemical equation for the dissociation of the nitrous acid is: \[\ce{HNO2}(aq)+\ce{H2O}(l)\ce{NO2-}(aq)+\ce{H3O+}(aq). was less than 1% actually, then the approximation is valid. Some common strong acids are HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO3 and HClO4. Use this equation to calculate the percent ionization for a 1x10-6M solution of an acid with a Ka = 1x10-4M, and discuss (explain) the answer. To understand when the above shortcut is valid one needs to relate the percent ionization to the [HA]i >100Ka rule of thumb. We can rank the strengths of acids by the extent to which they ionize in aqueous solution. Because acidic acid is a weak acid, it only partially ionizes. And that means it's only See Table 16.3.1 for Acid Ionization Constants. Those acids that lie between the hydronium ion and water in Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\) form conjugate bases that can compete with water for possession of a proton. Formula to calculate percent ionization. Recall that the percent ionization is the fraction of acetic acid that is ionized 100, or \(\ce{\dfrac{[CH3CO2- ]}{[CH3CO2H]_{initial}}}100\). Calculate the percent ionization (deprotonation), pH, and pOH of a 0.1059 M solution of lactic acid. Adding these two chemical equations yields the equation for the autoionization for water: \[\begin{align*} \cancel{\ce{HA}(aq)}+\ce{H2O}(l)+\cancel{\ce{A-}(aq)}+\ce{H2O}(l) & \ce{H3O+}(aq)+\cancel{\ce{A-}(aq)}+\ce{OH-}(aq)+\cancel{\ce{HA}(aq)} \\[4pt] \ce{2H2O}(l) &\ce{H3O+}(aq)+\ce{OH-}(aq) \end{align*} \nonumber \]. be a very small number. If, for example, you have a 0.1 M solution of formic acid with a pH of 2.5, you can substitute this value into the pH equation: 2.5 = -log [H+] This is important because it means a weak acid could actually have a lower pH than a diluted strong acid. As with acids, percent ionization can be measured for basic solutions, but will vary depending on the base ionization constant and the initial concentration of the solution. \[K_\ce{a}=1.210^{2}=\ce{\dfrac{[H3O+][SO4^2- ]}{[HSO4- ]}}=\dfrac{(x)(x)}{0.50x} \nonumber \]. If \(\ce{A^{}}\) is a weak base, water binds the protons more strongly, and the solution contains primarily \(\ce{A^{}}\) and \(\ce{H3O^{+}}\)the acid is strong. If the percent ionization is less than 5% as it was in our case, it The acid and base in a given row are conjugate to each other. Noting that \(x=10^{-pOH}\) and substituting, gives, \[K_b =\frac{(10^{-pOH})^2}{[B]_i-10^{-pOH}}\]. The solution is approached in the same way as that for the ionization of formic acid in Example \(\PageIndex{6}\). Note, the approximation [HA]>Ka is usually valid for two reasons, but realize it is not always valid. Determine \(\ce{[CH3CO2- ]}\) at equilibrium.) The remaining weak base is present as the unreacted form. giving an equilibrium mixture with most of the acid present in the nonionized (molecular) form. }{\le} 0.05 \nonumber \], \[\dfrac{x}{0.50}=\dfrac{7.710^{2}}{0.50}=0.15(15\%) \nonumber \]. Check the work. What is the pH if 10.0 g Methyl Amine ( CH3NH2) is diluted to 1.00 L? Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing electronegativity of the nonmetal atom because the polarity of the H-A bond increases. Now we can fill in the ICE table with the concentrations at equilibrium, as shown here: Finally, we calculate the value of the equilibrium constant using the data in the table: \[K_\ce{a}=\ce{\dfrac{[H3O+][NO2- ]}{[HNO2]}}=\dfrac{(0.0046)(0.0046)}{(0.0470)}=4.510^{4} \nonumber \]. For the generic reaction of a strong acid Ka is a large number meaning it is a product favored reaction that goes to completion and we use a one way arrow.
