fruits contain citric acid.

Cause color changes in plant dyes.


React with certain metals to produce
hydrogen gas.
2HCl (aq) + Mg (s) MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

React with carbonates and bicarbonates


to produce carbon dioxide gas.

2HCl (aq) + CaCO3 (s) CaCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

Classify each of the following species in aqueous solution as a


Brønsted acid or base:

(a) HBr

(b)

(c)
Example 4.3

Strategy
What are the characteristics of a Brønsted acid?

Does it contain at least an H atom?

With the exception of ammonia, most Brønsted bases that you


will encounter at this stage are anions.
Example 4.3
Solution
(a) We know that HCl is an acid. Because Br and Cl are both
halogens (Group 7A), we expect HBr, like HCl, to ionize in
water as follows:

Therefore HBr is a Brønsted acid.

(b) In solution the nitrite ion can accept a proton from water to
form nitrous acid:

This property makes a Brønsted base.


Example 4.3

(c) The bicarbonate ion is a Brønsted acid because it ionizes in


solution as follows:

It is also a Brønsted base because it can accept a proton to


form carbonic acid:

Comment The species is said to be amphoteric


because it possesses both acidic and basic properties. The
double arrows show that this is a reversible reaction.

Example 4.4

Write molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations for each of the
following acid-base reactions:

(a) hydrobromic acid(aq) + barium hydroxide(aq)

(b) sulfuric acid(aq) + potassium hydroxide(aq)


Example 4.4
Strategy
The first step is to identify the acids and bases as strong or
weak.

We see that HBr is a strong acid and H2SO4 is a strong acid for
the first step ionization and a weak acid for the second step
ionization.

Both Ba(OH)2 and KOH are strong bases.


Example 4.4
Solution
(a) Molecular equation:
2HBr(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) BaBr2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Ionic equation:

2H+(aq) + 2Br−(aq) + Ba2+(aq) + 2OH−(aq)


Ba2+(aq) + 2Br−(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Net ionic equation:
2H+(aq) + 2OH−(aq) 2H2O(l)
or
H+(aq) + OH−(aq) H2O(l)
Both Ba2+ and Br− are spectator ions.
Example 4.4
(b) Molecular equation:

H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Ionic equation:

Net ionic equation:

Note that because is a weak acid and does not ionize


appreciably in water, the only spectator ion is K+.
Neutralization Reaction Producing a Gas

acid + base salt + water + CO2

2HCl (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) 2NaCl (aq) + H2O +CO2

2H+ + 2Cl- + 2Na+ + CO32- 2Na+ + 2Cl- + H2O + CO2


2H+ + CO32- H2O + CO2

Titrations
In a titration, a solution of accurately known concentration is
added gradually added to another solution of unknown
concentration until the chemical reaction between the two
solutions is complete.

Equivalence point – the point at which the reaction is complete

Indicator – substance that changes color at (or near) the


equivalence point

Example 4.11

In a titration experiment, a student finds that 23.48 mL of a


NaOH solution are needed to neutralize 0.5468 g of KHP. What
is the concentration (in molarity) of the NaOH solution?
Example 4.11
Strategy We want to determine the molarity of the NaOH
solution. What is the definition of molarity?

need to
find

want to given
calculate

The volume of NaOH solution is given in the problem.


Therefore, we need to find the number of moles of NaOH to
solve for molarity. From the preceding equation for the reaction
between KHP and NaOH shown in the text we see that 1 mole
of KHP neutralizes 1 mole of NaOH. How many moles of KHP
are contained in 0.5468 g of KHP?
Example 4.11
Solution First we calculate the number of moles of KHP
consumed in the titration:

Because 1 mol KHP ≏ 1 mol NaOH, there must be 2.678 × 10−3


mole of NaOH in 23.48 mL of NaOH solution. Finally, we
calculate the number of moles of NaOH in 1 L of the solution or
the molarity as follows:
Example 4.12

How many milliliters (mL) of a 0.610 M NaOH solution are


needed to neutralize 20.0 mL of a 0.245 M H2SO4 solution?
Example 4.12
Strategy We want to calculate the volume of the NaOH
solution. From the definition of molarity [see Equation (4.1)],
we write

find

want to given
calculate
From the equation for the neutralization reaction just shown, we
see that 1 mole of H2SO4 neutralizes 2 moles of NaOH.

How many moles of H2SO4 are contained in 20.0 mL of a 0.245


M H2SO4 solution?

How many moles of NaOH would this quantity of H2SO4


neutralize?
Example 4.12
Solution
First we calculate the number of moles of H2SO4 in a 20.0 mL
solution:

From the stoichiometry we see that 1 mol H2SO4 ≏ 2 mol NaOH.


Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH reacted must be
2 × 4.90 × 10−3 mole, or 9.80 × 10−3 mole.

wine was consumed. The other half, after it had been
standing open to the air for a month, was found to have a
hydrogen ion concentration equal to 1.0 x 10-3 M. Calculate the
pH of the wine on these two occasions.
