1. Definitions
a. Excess hydronium ion, [H3O1+] > [OH1−], pH < 7
b. Excess hydroxide ion, [H3O1+1 < [OH1−], pH > 7
c. Equal amounts of hydronium and hydroxide, pH = 7 and [H3O1+1 = [OH1−]
2. Neutralization is the chemical reaction that occurs between acids and bases. Acids provide
protons while Arrhenius bases provide OH1−(aq) and they combine to form H2O(l).
3. A salt is the substance formed between the anion of an acid and the cation of a base.
4. Definitions
a. A substance that gives up a proton, H+, such as HCl(aq) or HNO3(aq).
b. A substance that can accept a proton like OH−. H+(aq) + OH−(aq) H2O
c. The hydronium ion has the formula H3O1+, It is a water molecule with an H O H
H
extra proton bonded to one of the unshared pairs on the oxygen.
d. The hydroxide ion has the formula OH−. It is typically released by bases such as
potassium hydroxide, KOH.
5. Definitions
a. measures the fraction of molecules that ionize
b. ionizes 100%
c. ionizes 100%
d. only partially ionized, majority of acid molecules are still intact
e. partially ionized, the majority of base molecules or ions are still intact
6. Acidic solutions at 25°C have a pH below 7. This is often expressed as a range from 0 to 7.
The reality is that the pH can be less than 0 (a negative number) if [H3O1+] is greater than 1
Molar. [H3O1+] molarities > 1M are common for strong acids and for more concentrated
solutions of acid. Usually pH is not even used for these; the molarity is just stated instead.
7. pH above 7
8. Acid-base qualities of familiar materials
a. Vinegar, acidic
b. Citrus fruits, acidic
c. Aspirin, acidic
d. Black coffee, acidic
9. a. acidic b. acidic c. basic d. basic e. acidic f. basic
10. Tests for acidity/basicity
a. sour taste, acid
b. bitter taste, base

39. a. The pH for a 1 × 10-2 M HCl solution can be figured two ways. pH = −log[H3O1+]; pH =
−log 1 × 10−2 ; pH = 2The graphical relationship shown above can be used to get the
same result.
b. The pH for a 1 × 10−3 M HNO3 solution can be figured two ways. The [H3O1+] = 0.001;
pH = −log [H3O1+]; pH = −log 1 × 10−3; pH = 3The graphical relationship shown above
can be used to get the same result.
40. pH calculations
a. pH = 11
b. pH = 3
41. Using the relationship pH = –log[H3O+], the pH of the solution is 3.
42. Using a calculator and the relationship pH = –log[H3O+],the pH is calculated to be 7.6. Using
the bracketing method, the hydronium concentration can be estimated to be greater than 1 ×
10–8 M and less than 1 × 10–7 M. These correspond to pH values of 8 and 7. The pH is
expected to be closer to 7 than to 8.
43. Concentration conversions The molarity of the hydronium ion = [H3O1+]= 10−pH
a. pH = 1 ; [H3O1+] = 10−pH; [H3O1+] = 10−1 = 1 × 10−1 or 0.1
b. pH = 0 ; [H3O1+] = 10−pH; [H3O1+] = 10−0 = 1 × 10−0 or 1
c. pH = 5 ; [H3O1+] = 10−pH; [H3O1+] = 10−5 = 1 × 10−5 or 0.00001
d. pH = 3 ; [H3O1+] = 10−pH; [H3O1+] = 10−3 = 1 × 10−3 or 0.001

45. 75 mL
46. HBr(aq) + LiOH(aq) H2O + LiBr(aq)
The mol ratio is: 1 mol HBr = 1 mol LiOH For a neutral solution, the mols of LiOH and mols
of HBr must be equal. The set up to figure the volume in milliliters is
0.45 mol LiOH 1 mol HBr 1L 1000 mL
= mL HBr solution = 90. mL
1 1 mol LiOH 0.50 mol HBr 1L
47. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale and is not linear. Doubling the concentration of base
therefore does not double the pH. (In fact, it increases the pH by log(2) = 0.3.)
48. Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base. Since it can be used to lessen the effect of a bee sting, it
must do so by reacting with an acid that is present in the bee venom, leading to
neutralization.
49. No. Mixture is basic; 0.0035 mols of KOH remain after all HCl has been neutralized.
50. When acidic and basic solutions are mixed, a neutralization reaction occurs. First write the
balanced equation for the neutralization. HI(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O + NaI(aq) Find the
number of mols of solute in each given amount of solution. The mols of NaOH in 100 mL of
1.5 M NaOH is figured using the relation;
mols of base = molarity base × volume of solution mol of NaOH =
1.5 mole NaOH 100 mL 1 liter
1 liter 1 1000 mL = 0.15 mol NaOH rounded to 2 significant digits.
mols of acid = molarity of acid × volume of solution
0.50 mole HI 31 mL 1 liter
mols of HI = 1 liter 1 1000 mL = 0.016 mol HI rounded to 2 significant
digits.
The #mol of the base, NaOH, exceeds the #mols of acid, HI. Since the mol ratio in the
balanced equation is 1:1, 0.016 mol HI will react with 0.016 mol NaOH. There will be 0.13
mol NaOH left over and the final solution will be basic.
51. To calculate the molarity of the caffeine, the number of moles of caffeine needs to be
determined:
1g 1 mol
50 mg 2.6 104 mols
1000 mg 194.19 g
Then, the molarity can be calculated:
2.6 104 mol
Molarity (M) 7.3 104 M
0.355 L
52. Because buffers protect against large changes in pH by absorbing acid or base, the initial pH
of one solution could be measured before and after the addition a small amount of acid or
base. If the addition were to result in a significant change in pH, then the tested solution is
not a buffer.

53. Aluminum hydroxide does not alter the pH of pure water, so it must not dissolve to produce
hydroxide ions, which would be necessary for a change in pH to occur. In fact, this is exactly
the case. Al(OH)3 is very insoluble in water.
