salt
A salt is an ionic compound that is not classified as bases.
Water-soluble salts (solubility rules) are always considered as 100% dissociated in water to produce ions. Therefore, soluble salts are strong electrolytes.
NaCl, NaHCO3, CaCO3, MgSO4, CuCl2
The Hydrogen Cation & The Proton
Recall hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron.
When a H atoms loses its electron,
H● → H+ + e-
H+ = the nucleus of hydrogen
= a proton
Therefore, another name for H+, is a proton.
Remember, H+ = proton
Bronsted-Lowry acid is
a proton (H+) donor;
Bronsted-Lowry base is
a proton (H+) acceptor.
Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base Theory
thinking acid-base in terms of proton (H+) transfer
Any acid-base reaction involving a Bronsted-Lowry acid must also involve a Bonsted-Lowry base.
Proton donation cannot occur unless an acceptor is present.
H3O+ =
hydronium ion
= H+-H2O (the way H+ actually exist in aqueous solution)
= a hydrated hydrogen cation = a hydrated proton
Arrhenius vs. BrØnsted Acids & Bases
The Bronsted-Lowry theory is consistent with the Arrhenius definition.
Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs
In any acid-base reaction, there are two conjugate
acid-base pairs
Each pair related by the loss and gain of H+ .
One occurs in the forward direction.
One occurs in the reverse direction.
A Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs are related to each other by
gain or loss of H+.
To write the conjugate base of an acid (remove H+)
1) remove one H from the formula of acid
2) add a “-” charge to the remaining formula.
the conjugate base of HSO4- is SO42-
To write the conjugate acid of a base (add H+)
1) add one H to the formula of base
2) add a “+” charge to the formula.
the conjugate acid of HPO42- is H2PO4-
Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions
When acids and bases are mixed, they react with one another to produce water and a salt. This is called neutralization reactions
HX + MOH MX + HOH
acid + base → salt + water
(MX is the salt of acid HX)
Acid Base Neutralization reactions are
double replacement reactions.
Writing balanced equations for neutralization Reactions
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + HOH
(Na salt of HCl)
Acid + Base → Salt + HOH
** salt is an ionic compound; the total charges of cations and anions must be the same.
auto-ionization
A very small population of water molecules become ionized when 2 H2O molecules collide and H+ is transferred from one H2O molecule to another
- a reversible reaction that overwhelmingly favors the neutral H2O side
Out of every 1 billion water molecules, how many exists as H3O+ and OH-
only 2 actually exist as H3O+ and OH-
The Chemical Equation of
Water Auto-ionization
H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH−
Hydronium ion is a hydrated hydrogen cation.
For simplicity reason, we often write H3O+ as H+
H2O H+ + OH-
The Quantities of H3O+ and OH- in Pure Water
Notice equal number of H3O+ and OH- are formed during the ionization
- Pure Water is Neutral
Auto-ionization of water is a reversible reaction in which the molar concentrations of H3O+ and OH- are determined by a constant called
ion product constant, Kw
- Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = [1x 10-7][1x10-7] = 1 x 10-14
If [H3O+] goes ↑, [OH-] must goes ↓
If [H3O+] goes ↓, [OH-] must goes ↑
Adding Acid to H2O, makes
[H3O+] ↑, [OH-] ↓
Adding base to H2O makes
[OH-]↑, [H3O+.] ↓
pH
(power of Hydronium ion)
Notice the symbol is lower case p and capital H
The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of its hydronium ions.
pH = - log [H3O+]
Buffers are
solutions that can maintain its pH or resist major changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to it.
Buffers are important in
the proper functioning of cells and blood.
Buffers in the body absorb
H3O+ or OH¯ from foods and cellular processes to maintain pH.
Buffer maintains the pH of our blood to
close to 7.4. A change in the pH of the blood affects the uptake of oxygen and cellular processes.
A buffer solution contains
equal moles of a weak (acid and its conjugate base (salt) or equal moles of weak base and its conjugate acid.
Any acid that is NOT in the strong acid table is a
weak acid
examples of buffer
1) a weak acid and its conjugate base (or salt of the acid):
H3PO4 + NaH2PO4(H2PO4-), H2CO3 + NaHCO3(HCO3-) 2) a weak base and its conjugate acid: NH3 + NH4Cl (NH4+)
acidosis
(CO2 pH ): emphysema, pneumonia, stroke, renal disease
alkalosis
(CO2 pH ): hyperventilation, vomiting, exercise, hypoxia
What is an Organic Compound?
Chemicals were classified as organic if they originated from living organisms rather than rocks.
The German scientist Wöhler synthesized the compound urea (a component of urine) without the use of any living organism, proving that it was possible to generate organic compounds independent of a living creature.
Organic chemistry is defined today as
the chemistry of the element carbon and its compounds.
Organic compounds contain
carbon and only a few other type of atoms (heteroatoms) H, O, N, the halogens (especially Cl, Br, and I) S and (to a lesser extent), P
Inorganic compounds are those
which are not based mainly on carbon.
- by convention, not all carbon-containing compounds are considered to be organic (for example: diamond, graphite, CO2, Na2CO3)
The simplest type of organic compounds are
hydrocarbons: compounds that are made of only H and C.
Saturated hydrocarbon
a hydrocarbon in which all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon is
a hydrocarbon that contains one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds.
The simplest open-chain (acyclic) saturated hydrocarbons are called
alkanes
IUPAC Names And Condensed Structures For the First Ten Linear-Chain Alkanes
CH4 meth methane C2H6 eth ethane C3H8 prop propane C4H10 but butane C5H12 pent pentane C6H14 hex Hexane C7H16 hept heptane C8H18 oct octane C9H20 non nonae C10H22 dec decane
The general chemical formula of alkane:
CnH2n+2 C3H2(3) +2 = C3H8
Extended structural formula
shows all atoms and all bonds in a molecule.
Condensed structural formula
shows all bonds except C-H single bonds by writing the Hs to the right of C atom that is bonded to.
CH3-CH2-CH3
Skeletal Structure:
C-C-C
Alkanes with more than three carbon atoms can be arranged or joined in a multiple number of ways, forming different
isomers.
Structual isomers have the same
chemical formulas
Since atoms are hooked up differently structural isomers are
distinct molecules with distinct properties
Sturcture isomers are also called
constitutional isomers.
The Number of Structural Isomers With Increasing Number Of C
-increasing exponentially with # of C
C1: 1 isomer — methane C2: 1 isomer — ethane C3: 1 isomers — propane C4: 2 isomers — n-butane, isobutane C5: 3 isomers — n-pentane, isopentane, neopentane C6: 5 isomers C12: 355 isomers C32: 27,711,253,769 isomers C60: 22,158,734,535,770,411,074,184 (> 2.2 X 1022) isomers
Naming Branched Alkanes
Find the longest linear chain as the “parent chain”.
Treat the branch as a substitution of a hydrogen on the carbon at the branch point.
Alkyl Groups (R group)
An alkane that is missing one H from the terminal C.
Then binds to a carbon chain as a “substituent”
Named with a –yl ending.
