Acids
Have a sour taste. Vinegar owes its taste to acetic acid. Citrus
fruits contain citric acid.
React with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas.
React with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce carbon
dioxide gas
Have a bitter taste.
Feel slippery. Many soaps contain bases.

The Ion Product of Water
Kc =
[H+][OH-]
[H2O]
[H2O] = constant
Kc[H2O] = Kw = [H+][OH-]
The ion-product constant (Kw) is the product of the molar
concentrations of H+ and OH- ions at a particular temperature.
At 250C
Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14
[H+] = [OH-]

pOH = -log [OH-]
[H+][OH-] = Kw = 1.0 x 10-14
-log [H+] – log [OH-] = 14.00
pH + pOH = 14.00
The pH of rainwater collected in a certain region of the
northeastern United States on a particular day was 4.82.
What is the H+ ion concentration of the rainwater?
pH = -log [H+]
[H+] = 10-pH = 10-4.82 = 1.5 x 10-5 M
The OH- ion concentration of a blood sample is 2.5 x 10-7 M.
What is the pH of the blood?
pH + pOH = 14.00
pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (2.5 x 10-7) = 6.60
pH = 14.00 – pOH = 14.00 – 6.60 = 7.40

Must solve for x exactly using quadratic equation or method of
successive approximation. 15.5
Solving weak acid ionization problems:
1. Identify the major species that can affect the pH.
• In most cases, you can ignore the autoionization of
water.
• Ignore [OH-] because it is determined by [H+].
2. Use ICE to express the equilibrium concentrations in terms
of single unknown x.
3. Write Ka in terms of equilibrium concentrations. Solve for x
by the approximation method. If approximation is not valid,
solve for x exactly.
4. Calculate concentrations of all species and/or pH of the
solution.

  • 21. Solving weak acid ionization problems: 1. Identify the major species that can affect the pH. • In most cases, you can ignore the autoionization of water. • Ignore [OH-] because it is determined by [H+]. 2. Use ICE to express the equilibrium concentrations in terms of single unknown x. 3. Write Ka in terms of equilibrium concentrations. Solve for x by the approximation method. If approximation is not valid, solve for x exactly. 4. Calculate concentrations of all species and/or pH of the solution. 15.5
