Trang 2Stomach Acid & Heartburn
• the cells that line your stomach produce
hydrochloric acid
to kill unwanted bacteria
to help break down food
to activate enzymes that break down food
• if the stomach acid backs up into your esophagus, it irritates those tissues, resulting in heartburn
acid reflux
GERD = gastroesophageal reflux disease = chronic
leaking of stomach acid into the esophagus

Arrhenius Theory
• bases dissociate in water to produce OH- ions and
cations
ionic substances dissociate in water
NaOH(aq) → Na+(aq) + OH–(aq)
• acids ionize in water to produce H+ ions and anions
because molecular acids are not made of ions, they cannot dissociate
they must be pulled apart, or ionized, by the water
HCl(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
in formula, ionizable H written in front
HC2H3O2(aq) → H+(aq) + C2H3O2–(aq)
Trang 10Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 14
Arrhenius Theory
HCl ionizes in water,
producing H+ and Cl– ions
NaOH dissociates in water,producing Na+ and OH– ions
Trang 11Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 15
Hydronium Ion
• the H+ ions produced by the acid are so reactive they cannot exist in water
H+ ions are protons!!
• instead, they react with a water molecule(s) to produce complex ions, mainly hydronium ion, H3O+
H+ + H2O H3O+
there are also minor amounts of H+ with multiple water
molecules, H(H2O)n+
Trang 12Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 16
Arrhenius Acid-Base Reactions
it is often helpful to think of H2O as H-OH
anion from the acid to make a salt
acid + base → salt + water
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Trang 13Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 17
Problems with Arrhenius Theory
• does not explain why molecular substances, like NH3, dissolve in water to form basic solutions – even
though they do not contain OH– ions
• does not explain how some ionic compounds, like
Na2CO3 or Na2O, dissolve in water to form basic
solutions – even though they do not contain OH– ions
• does not explain why molecular substances, like CO2, dissolve in water to form acidic solutions – even
though they do not contain H+ ions
• does not explain acid-base reactions that take place outside aqueous solution
Trang 14Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 18
Brønsted-Lowry Theory
H+ is transferred
does not have to take place in aqueous solution
broader definition than Arrhenius
base structure must contain an atom with an
unshared pair of electrons
H–A + :B :A– + H–B+
Trang 15Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 19
Brønsted-Lowry Acids
any material that has H can potentially be a
Brønsted-Lowry acid
because of the molecular structure, often one H in
the molecule is easier to transfer than others
H2O, forming H3O+ ions
water acts as base, accepting H+
HCl(aq) + H2O(l) → Cl–(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Trang 16Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 20
Brønsted-Lowry Bases
• Brønsted-Lowry bases are H+ acceptors
any material that has atoms with lone pairs can
potentially be a Brønsted-Lowry base
because of the molecular structure, often one atom in the molecule is more willing to accept H+ transfer
than others
• NH3(aq) is basic because NH3 accepts an H+
from H2O, forming OH–(aq)
water acts as acid, donating H+
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH–(aq)
Trang 17Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 21
Amphoteric Substances
• amphoteric substances can act as either an
acid or a base
have both transferable H and atom with lone pair
HCl(aq) + H2O(l) → Cl–(aq) + H3O+(aq)
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH–(aq)

Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base Reactions
• one of the advantages of Brønsted-Lowry theory
is that it allows reactions to be reversible
:A– + H–B+ H–A + :B
Trang 19Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 23
Conjugate Pairs
original base becomes an acid in the reverse
reaction, and the original acid becomes a base in the reverse process
and the original acid becomes the conjugate base

Bases and Their Conjugates in the Reaction
H2SO4 + H2O HSO4– + H3O+
acid base conjugate conjugate
H2SO4 + H2O HSO4– + H3O+
When the H2SO4 becomes HSO4, it lost an H+ so
H2SO4 must be the acid and HSO4 its conjugate base
When the H2O becomes H3O+, it accepted an H+ so
H2O must be the base and H3O+ its conjugate acid
Trang 22Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 27
Ex 15.1b – Identify the Brønsted-Lowry Acids and
Bases and Their Conjugates in the Reaction
When the H2O becomes OH, it donated an H+ so

Arrow Conventions
• chemists commonly use two kinds of
arrows in reactions to indicate the
degree of completion of the reactions
• a single arrow indicates all the reactant
molecules are converted to product
molecules at the end
• a double arrow indicates the reaction
stops when only some of the reactant
molecules have been converted into
products
in these notes
Trang 28Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 33
Strong or Weak
• a strong acid is a strong electrolyte
practically all the acid molecules ionize, →
• a strong base is a strong electrolyte
practically all the base molecules form OH– ions, either through dissociation or reaction with water, →
• a weak acid is a weak electrolyte
only a small percentage of the molecules ionize,
• a weak base is a weak electrolyte
only a small percentage of the base molecules form OH–
ions, either through dissociation or reaction with water,
Trang 29Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 34
Strong Acids
• The stronger the acid, the
more willing it is to donate H
use water as the standard base
• strong acids donate
practically all their H’s
Trang 30-Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 35
Weak Acids
fraction of their H’s
most of the weak acid
molecules do not donate H
Trang 31-Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 36
Polyprotic Acids
• often acid molecules have more than one ionizable H – these are called polyprotic acids
the ionizable H’s may have different acid strengths or be equal
1 H = monoprotic, 2 H = diprotic, 3 H = triprotic
HCl = monoprotic, H2SO4 = diprotic, H3PO4 = triprotic
• polyprotic acids ionize in steps
each ionizable H removed sequentially
• removing of the first H automatically makes removal of the second H harder
H2SO4 is a stronger acid than HSO4

Acids Conjugate Bases
Trang 33Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 39
General Trends in Acidity
weaker the conjugate base is at accepting H
• higher oxidation number = stronger oxyacid
H2SO4 > H2SO3; HNO3 > HNO2
• cation stronger acid than neutral molecule;
neutral stronger acid than anion
H3O+1 > H2O > OH-1; NH4+1 > NH3 > NH2-1
base trend opposite

Autoionization of Water
therefore there must be a few ions present
form ions through a process called
autoionization
H2O H+ + OH–
H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH–
the concentration of H3O+ and OH– are equal in water
[H3O+] = [OH–] = 10-7M @ 25°C
Trang 38Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 44
Ion Product of Water
concentrations is always the same number
• [H3O+] x [OH–] = Kw = 1 x 10-14 @ 25°C
if you measure one of the concentrations, you
can calculate the other
• as [H3O+] increases the [OH–] must decrease
so the product stays constant
inversely proportional

Sig Figs & Logs
• when you take the log of a number written in scientific notation, the digit(s) before the decimal point come from the exponent on 10, and the digits after the decimal point come from the decimal part of the number
log(2.0 x 106) = log(106) + log(2.0)
= 6 + 0.30303… = 6.30303
• since the part of the scientific notation number that
determines the significant figures is the decimal part, the
sig figs are the digits after the decimal point in the log
log(2.0 x 106) = 6.30
