How did the Bronsted-Lowry name come about?
Johannes Nicolaus Bronsted and Martin Thomas Lowry did not work together but both chemists formulated the idea that acids are proton donors and bases are protons acceptors
The Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory is a development of these earlier ideas and states that:
.An acid is a proton donor.A base is a proton acceptor
.How many protons, neutrons and electrons does a Hydrogen ion, H+ have?
.A hydrogen ion is just a proton

WHat does pH = -log10[H+] only work for?
ONLY WORKS FOR STRONG ACIDS
[H^+] equation for changing concentraation
[H+] = [H+]old x (old volume / new volume)
How are weak acids different to strong ones?
.Weak acids do not dissociate fully like strong acids
What happens when a weak acid dissociates?
An equilibrium is established between the ions and the acid
As an equibrlium is established when weak acids dissociate, what can we calculate?
we can calculate an equilibrium constant Ka (Acids dissociation cons tat)
What does Ka equal for, HA H+ + A-?
Ka = ( [H+] [A-] ) / [HA]
For the Ka equation what two assumptions need to be made?
.A pure acids will split evenly into equal quantities of [h+] and [A-].The concentration of the acid doesn’t change as the equilibrium lies so far to the left it can be considered equal
does [H+] = [H+ aq]?
yes
.A sample of ethanoic acid of concentration 0.04 moldm-3.What is the value of Ka?
2.5x10-9 moldm-3
Steps to calculating pH of weak acid
.Step 1: Calculate [H+] from ka and [HA].Step 2: Calculate pH
Are the approximations for weak acids justified?
.The first approximation assumes that the dissociation from water is negligible.[H+(aq)]eqm = [A-(aq)]eqm - if pH>6 then water dissociates and [H+] from water will be more significant than from dissociation of acid.This approximation breaks down for very weak acids or very dilute solutions.Second approximation assumes that the concentration of the acid [HA] is much greater than the [H+] concentration at equilibrium.[HA]start»_space; [H+]eqm [HA]eqm = [HA]start – [H+]eqm so [HA]eqm = [HA]start.Not valid as acid gets stronger as [H+] becomes more significant and real difference between [HA]eqm = [HA]start – [H+]eqm.Not justified for stronger weak acids / very dilute solutions.
.The value of Ka for weak acids is almost always very small and difficult to compare numbers with negative indices, how do we get around this?
create a scale of more useable numbers we often use the value of pKa, when talking about the aciditing of weak acids
What is pKa often used for?
to compare acids in biological systems
pKa equation
pKa = -log10Ka
What do the values of pKa mean?
The higher the value of pKa, the weaker the acidThe lower the value of pKa, the stronger the acid
How does wine show behaviour of typical dibasic and tribasic acids?
Wines often contain traces of sulphurous acid, H2SO3, added as a preservative.Sulphurous acid is dibasic and its dissociation is shown as:H2SO3 H+ + HSO3 - (pKa = 1.92)HSO3 - H+ + SO3 2- (pKa = 7.18).For the first dissociation, H2SO3, acts as a weak acid.From the pKa values, HSO3, is a far weaker acid than H2SO3.The behaviour is typical of dibasic and tribasic acids
Where strong acids completely dissociate to release all H+ ions into solution, weak acids only partially dissociate, explain this in terms of equations
Strong: HA → H+ + A-Weak: HA ⇌ H+ + A-
As weak acids form an equilibrium their dissociation can be represented by the acid dissociation constant, Ka, whats the equation for this?
Ka = “[H+(aq)][A-(aq)]” /”[HA(aq)]”
Explain why a larger value for Ka means a lower pH
.The larger the value for Ka the more the equilibria lies to the right and so the lower the pH i.e. higher [H+]
What alters Ka?
Temperature
.As the values for Ka are very small it is easier to give their negative logarithm, pKa, instead, what is the equation for this?
pKa = - logKa
pKa = - logKa, what is the inverse equation for this?
The inverse for this equation is: Ka = 10-pKa
This means that the weaker an acid the:._____ Ka._____ pKa
.Smaller Ka.Larger pKa
.The [H+] of a weak acid depends on the value of what?
Ka and [HA]
.The equilibrium concentrations, [ ]eqm, can be used to determine a value for Ka, what is the equation for this?
Ka = “[H+]eqm [A-]eqm” /”[HA]eqm”
There are two approximations that need to be made when calculating Ka, what are they?
.HA dissociation forms equal [H+] and [A-].The change in [HA] is negligible so [HA]eqm = [HA]start
Using the approximations, Ka can be determined by what equation?
Ka = “[H+]eqm 2” /”[HA]start”
How can pH be calculated for a weak acid?
[H+] = √(“Ka x [HA]” ) → pH = -log[H+]
.A value for Ka can be determined experimentally, how?
by using a pH meter to get the pH of a standard solution
.The larger the value for Ka, the greater the _________
dissociation
When calculating values for Ka there are issues with the approximations made, what are these issues?
• At pH values >6 water dissociation is significantTherefore doesn’t work for very weak acids or very dilute solutions• If [H+] concentration is significant there will be a difference between [HA]eqm and [HA]startTherefore doesn’t work stronger weak acids with Ka > 10-2 mol dm-3 or very dilute solutions

At 298K, Kw =
1x10-14 mol2dm-6
Why is the pH of pure water at 298K, 7?
Kw = [H+] x [OH-]1x10-14 = [H+] x [OH-]The concentrations are the same and so it can be written as:1x10-14 = [H+]21x10-7 = [H+]pH = 7
Effect of temperature on Kw
The dissociation of water is endothermicTemperature increase will move the equilibrium to the right, and so Kw will increaseTemperature decrease will move the equilibrium to the left, and so Kw will decreaseWater will always remain neutral at all temperatures, pH may change with temperature, but [H+] = [OH-] all the time and so it is neutral

Why, when moving down group two, do the temperatures required to break the lattice increase?
.They have decreasing charge densities.Mg2+ is a smaller ion than Ba2+ , so the +2 charge occupies a smaller volume – this means Mg2+ has a higher charge density than Ba2+.Mg2+ can distort the electron clouds within the CO32- ion (called polarisation), this weakens the covalent bonding in the ion and reduces its decomposition temperature
What is a buffer?

Weak Acid and Salt of Weak AcidExcess Weak Acid and Strong Base
Suggest and explain a Weak Acid and Salt of Weak Acid buffer
Weak Acid – Ethanoic Acid – CH3COOH(aq) CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq)Salt of Weak Acid – Sodium Ethanoate – CH3COONa(s) + (aq) CH3COO-(aq) + Na+(aq)¬Buffer Contains – CH3COOH(aq) CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq)When add H+, H+ reacts with conjugate base, equilibrium will move to the left to reduce the amount of H+, pH is constantAdding –OH (alkali) –-OH + H+ H2OConc of H+ decreases, equilibrium moves to the right to increase the conc of H+, pH is constant
Suggest and explain an excess Weak Acid and strong base buffer
CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) –> CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l)CH3COONa(aq) CH3COO-(aq) + Na+(aq)CH3COOH(aq) CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq)When add H+, H+ reacts with conjugate base, equilibrium will move to the left to reduce the amount of H+, pH is constantAdding –OH (alkali) –-OH + H+ H2OConc of H+ decreases, equilibrium moves to the right to increase the conc of H+, pH is constant
Excess methanoic acid is reacted with potassium hydroxide, explain how a buffer solution is produced and how pH is controlled when 5cm3 of HCl is added.
The solution now contains HCOOK(aq) HCOO- (aq) + K+(aq) and HCOOH(aq) HCOO-(aq) + H+ equilibriums in solution – the buffer. When 5cm3 of HCl is added, it dissociates into H+ and Cl-, the H+ ions increase the concentration of the H+ already in the solution, so the HCOOH(aq) HCOO-(aq) + H+ point of equilibrium moves to the right – decreasing the conc of H+ in solution, and so keeping the pH constant.

Carbonic acid dissociation equation
H2CO3 H+ + HCO3-
If blood becomes too acidic (acidosis), what presents?
fatigue, shortness of breath, shock, death
If blood becomes too alkaline (alkalosis), what presents?
spasms, light-headed, nausea
What happens if the body produces more acidic products?
.The H+ concentration in the blood will increase, the equilibrium of the hydrogencarbonate dissociation will shift to the left, the H+ ions will be used up to form more hydrogencarbonate, the H+ concentration will return to normal, the pH will have had minimal change.If the acid level continued to rise, fatigue, shortness of breath, shock, or death would eventually set in.This would occur when we have ran out of HCO3- ions
Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form what? What is the equation for this?
carbonic acid:CO2 + H2O H2CO3
Inhalation of high levels of CO2 means what?
Inhalation of high levels of CO2 mean that the equilibrium in the blood must shift to the right to form more H2CO3, this means that the level of H2CO3 in the blood increase, so in the equilibrium H2CO3 H+ + HCO3- the equilibrium shifts to the right to counter this, this forms more H+ ions in the blood, making it more acidic, and resulting in acidosis which would lead to fatigue, shortness of breath, shock, and eventual death. Increased [H+] means enzymes would also be denatured.
