Chapter 15 Acid Base Titration and pH

Chapter 15Section 1 – Aqueous Solutions and the

Concept of pHSection 2 – Determining pH and Titrations

15.1 Aqueous Solutions and pHDescribe the self-ionization of water.

Define pH, and give the pH of a neutral solution at 25°C.

Explain and use the pH scale.

Given [H3O+] or [OH−], find pH.

Given pH, find [H3O+] or [OH−].

l + l aq + aq–2 2 3H O( ) H O( ) H O ( ) OH ( )

Self Ionization of WaterTwo water molecules produce a hydronium ion

and hydroxide ion by proton transfer

In water at 25°C, [H3O+] = 1.0 ×10−7 M and [OH−] = 1.0 × 10−7 M

The ionization constant of water, Kw

Kw = [H3O+][OH−]

At 25OC

Kw = [H3O+][OH−] = (1.0 × 10−7)(1.0 × 10−7) = 1.0 × 10−14

Kw = 1.0 x 10-14

Kw increases as temperature increases

Ion Concentration[H3O+] = [OH−]

[H3O+] = ______________Unknown: [OH-] = ?

Kw = [H3O+][OH−] = 1.0 × 10−14

pHDefinition of the pH of a solution: negative of the

common logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration, [H3O+].

pH = −log [H3O+]

Example: a neutral solution has a [H3O+] = 1×10−7

pH = −log [H3O+] = −log(1 × 10−7) = −(−7.0) = 7.0

pH Values as Specified [H3O+]

The pH Scale

pOHThe pOH of a solution is defined as the negative of

the common logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration, [OH−].

pOH = −log [OH–]

pH + pOH = 14.0

Example: a neutral solution has a [OH–] = 1×10−7

the pH of this solution is?

Calculating [H3O+] from pH

Finding the [H3O+] from pH requires taking the antilog of the negative pH

[H3O+] = antilog (-pH)

You can find the [OH−] by also taking the antilog of the negative pOH.

[OH-] = antilog (-pOH)

Comparing pH and pOH Video

pH of Weak Acids and BasesThe pH of solutions of weak acids and

weak bases must be measured experimentally.

The [H3O+] and [OH−] can then be calculated from the measured pH values.

Significant FiguresThere must be as many significant figures to

the right of the decimal as there are in the number whose logarithm was found.

Example: [H3O+] = 1 × 10−7

one significant figure

pH = 7.0

15.2 Determining pH and TitrationsDescribe how an acid-base indicator

functions.

Explain how to carry out an acid-base titration.

Calculate the molarity of a solution from titration data.

IndicatorsAcid-base indicators: compounds whose

colors are sensitive to pH.

The pH range over which an indicator changes color is called its transition interval.

pH MeterspH meter determines the pH of a

solution by measuring the voltage between the two electrodes that are placed in the solution.

The voltage changes as the hydronium ion concentration in the solution changes.

Measures pH more precisely than indicators

TitrationNeutralization occurs when hydronium

ions and hydroxide ions are supplied in equal numbers by reactants.

H3O+(aq) + OH−(aq) 2H2O(l)Titration: the controlled addition and

measurement of the amount of a solution of known concentration required to react completely with a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration.

Titration Pointsequivalence point: point at which the

two solutions used in a titration are present in chemically equivalent amounts

end point: point in a titration at which an indicator changes color

Which indicator do I choose?pH less than 7

Indicators that change color at pH lower than 7 are used to determine the equivalence point of strong-acid/weak-base titrations.

strong-acid/weak-base titration = acidic.pH at 7

Indicators that undergo transition at about pH 7 are used to determine the equivalence point of strong-acid/strong base titrations.

strong acids/strong bases = salt solution with a pH of 7.

Which indicator do I choose?pH greater than 7

Indicators that change color at pH higher than 7 are used to determine the equivalence point of weak-acid/strong-base titrations.

weak-acid/strong-base = basic

Molarity and Titrationstandard solution: solution that contains the

precisely known concentration of a solute
