Acid/Base Strengths and Dissociation Constants

ניתן לסווג חומצות ובסיסים על ידי חומצות חזקות, בסיסים חזקים, חומצות חלשות או בסיסים חלשים. יש מעט חומצות ובסיסים חזקים. רוב החומצות והבסיסים הם חלשים.חומצה חזקה, כגון חומצת מימן כלורי, מתפרקת לגמרי ליוני מימן וליוני כלור כשהיא מומסת במים. בסיס חזק כמו נתרן הידרוקסידי מתפרק לגמרי ליוני נתרן וליוני הידרוקסיד. חומצות חלשות ובסיסים חלשים מתפרקים חלקית ונמצאים גם בצורות מיוננות וגם בצורות לא-מיוננות.לדוגמה, גם חומצה אצטית וגם הבסיס המצומד החלש שלה, אצטט, נמצאים בתמיסה מימית. רמת הפירוק של חומצה או בסיס חלש ניתנים למדידה בעזרת קבוע שיווי המשקל שלהם. לקבוע שיווי המשקל של חומצות חלשות יש שם מיוחד, קבוע פירוק החומצה, או Ka.בחומצה חלשה גנרית HA, ה-Ka בטמפרטורה נתונה ניתן לחישוב על ידי משוואת שיווי משקל:חילוק הריכוז של התוצרים, יון A ויון הידרוניום בריכוז המגיבים, HA ומים.מכיוון שמים הם נוזל והריכוז שלהם נשאר כמעט ללא שינוי בתגובה, הם מוצאים מהמשוואה. ככל ש-Ka גבוה יותר, החומצה חזקה יותר. חומצה חנקתית חזקה מחומצה אצטית מכיוון שה-Ka של חומצה חנקתית גדול מה-Ka של חומצה אצטית.קבוע שיווי המשקל של בסיסים חלשים, קבוע פירוק הבסיס או Kb, פועל באופן דומה ל-Ka. בבסיס חלש גנרי B, ה-Kb בטמפרטורה נתונה ניתן לחישוב על ידי חילוק ריכוז התוצרים, יון BH ויון הידרוקסיד בריכוז המגיב, B.כמו בחומצות, חוזק הבסיסים נמצא ביחס ישיר ל-Kb. לדוגמה, אתילאמין חזק יותר משתנן מכיוון שה-Kb של אתילאמין גדול מה-Kb של שתנן.חוזק החומצה ניתן לביטוי באחוזי יינון. אחוז היינון של חומצה ניתן לחישוב על ידי חילוק ריכוז יון הידרוניום בשיווי משקל בריכוז המקורי של החומצה והכפלה במאה. באופן דומה, אחוז יינון של בסיסים ניתן לחישוב על ידי חלוקה של ריכוז יון הידרוקסיד בשיווי משקל בריכוז המקורי של הבסיס והכפלה במאה.ככל שאחוז היינון גבוה יותר, החומצה או הבסיס חזקים יותר.

חוזק חומצה/בסיס וקבועי דיסוציאציה

<div style="direction:rtl">

החוזק היחסי של חומצה או בסיס הוא המידה שבה הם מייננים כשהם מומסים במים. אם תגובת היינון כמעט שלמה, החומצה או הבסיס נקראים חזקים; אם מתרחש יינון מועט יחסית, החומצה או הבסיס חלשים. יש הרבה יותר חומצות ובסיסים חלשים מאשר חזקים. החומצות והבסיסים החזקים הנפוצים ביותר מפורטים להלן:

</table> 

ניתן לכמת את החוזק היחסי של חומצות על ידי מדידת קבועי שיווי המשקל שלהן בתמיסות מימיות. בתמיסות של אותו ריכוז, חומצות חזקות יותר מייננות במידה רבה יותר ולכן מניבות ריכוזים גבוהים יותר של יוני הידרוניום מאשר חומצות חלשות יותר. קבוע שיווי המשקל של חומצה נקרא קבוע יינון חומצה,Ka. לתגובה של חומצה HA: 
<img alt="Eq1" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq1.png" style="text-align: center; height: 50px;"> 

קבוע יינון החומצה כתוב כ:
<img alt="Eq2" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq2.png" style="text-align: center; height: 90px;"> 

כאשר הריכוזים הם בשיווי משקל. למרות שמים הם מגיב בתגובה, הם גם הממס, ולכן אנחנו לא כוללים את [H2O] במשוואה. ככל שה-Ka של חומצה גדול יותר, כך הריכוז של H3O+ ו-A−גדול יותר ביחס לריכוז החומצה הבלתי מייננת, HA, בתערובת שיווי משקל, והחומצה חזקה יותר. חומצה מסווגת כ"חזקה" כאשר היא עוברת יינון מלא, ובמקרה זה ריכוז ה-HA הוא אפס וקבוע היינון החומצי גדול לאין שיעור (Ka ≈ ∞). חומצות מיוננות חלקית נקראות "חלשות", וניתן למדוד בניסוי את קבועי היינון החומצי שלהן.

כדי להמחיש רעיון זה, שלוש משוואות יינון חומצה וערכי Ka מוצגות להלן. קבועי היינון עולים מהראשון לאחרון במשוואות המפורטות, מה שמצביע על עליות חוזק החומצה היחסי בסדר CH3CO2H < HNO2 < HSO4−..
<img alt="Eq3-5" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq3-5.png" style="text-align: center; height: 135px;"> 

מדד נוסף לחוזק של חומצה הוא אחוז היינון שלה. אחוז היינון של חומצה חלשה מוגדר במונחים של הרכב תערובת שיווי משקל: 
<img alt="Eq6" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq6.png" style="text-align: center; height: 90px;"> 

כאשר המונה שווה ערך לריכוז הבסיס המצומד של החומצה (לפי סטוכיומטריה, [A−] = [H3O+]). בניגוד לערך Ka, אחוז היינון של חומצה חלשה משתנה עם הריכוז הראשוני של החומצה, בדרך כלל פוחת ככל שהריכוז עולה. 

בדיוק כמו של חומצות, החוזק היחסי של בסיס בא לידי ביטוי בגודל קבוע היינון הבסיסי שלו (Kb) בתמיסות מימיות. בתמיסות של אותו ריכוז, בסיסים חזקים יותר מייננים במידה רבה יותר, ולכן מניבים ריכוזי יוני הידרוקסיד גבוהים יותר מאשר בסיסים חלשים יותר. לבסיס חזק יותר יש קבוע יינון גדול יותר מאשר לבסיס חלש יותר. לתגובה של בסיס, B: 
<img alt="Eq7" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq7.png" style="text-align: center; height: 50px;"> 

קבוע היינון כתוב כ:
<img alt="Eq8" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq8.png" style="text-align: center; height: 90px;"> 


בדיקת הנתונים עבור שלושה בסיסים חלשים המוצגים להלן מראה את עליות חוזק הבסיס בסדר NO2− < CH2 CO2− < NH3. 
<img alt="Eq9-11" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq9-11.png" style="text-align: center; height: 135px;"> 


באשר לחומצות, החוזק היחסי של בסיס בא לידי ביטוי גם באחוז היינון שלו, מחושב כ: 
<img alt="Eq12" src="/files/ftp_upload/11395/11395eq12.png" style="text-align: center; height: 90px;"> 


אך ישתנה בהתאם לקבוע היינון הבסיסי ולריכוז ההתחלתי של התמיסה.

acid and base strength in water

Acid and base strength in water depends on how much a substance ionizes after it dissolves. If ionization is nearly complete, the substance is called strong. If only a small amount ionizes, it is called weak. Weak acids and weak bases are much more common than strong ones.

The most common strong acids are HClO4, HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, and H2SO4. The most common strong bases are LiOH, NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. These strong acids and bases ionize essentially completely in water.

Acid strength can be measured with the acid-ionization constant, Ka. For an acid HA in water, Ka compares the concentrations of the products and the nonionized acid at equilibrium. Water is a reactant in the reaction, but it is not included in the equation because it is the solvent. A larger Ka means more H3O+ and A− relative to HA, so the acid is stronger.

A strong acid is considered completely ionized. In that case, the concentration of HA is zero, and Ka is immeasurably large, or approximately infinite. Weak acids ionize only partially, so their Ka values can be measured in the lab. The relative acid strengths in the examples increase in the order CH3CO2H &lt; HNO2 &lt; HSO4−.

Percent ionization is another way to describe weak acid strength. It is based on the amount of acid that ionizes at equilibrium. For a weak acid, the percent ionization changes with the starting concentration and usually gets smaller as the concentration gets higher. This makes percent ionization different from Ka.

Base strength is measured in a similar way with the base-ionization constant, Kb. For a base B in water, a larger Kb means the base ionizes more and produces a higher hydroxide ion concentration. A stronger base has a larger ionization constant than a weaker base.

The examples of weak bases show the strength order NO2− &lt; CH2CO2− &lt; NH3. Base strength can also be described with percent ionization. As with weak acids, this value depends on both the base-ionization constant and the initial concentration of the solution.

bronsted-lowry acids and bases

Proton Transfer in Acids and Bases

Acids and bases can be understood through proton transfer. Early scientists described acids by their sour taste, their effect on dyes, and their reaction with limestone, which releases carbon dioxide. Robert Boyle also noted that acid solutions can lose these properties after contact with alkali, or base, solutions. The modern view developed step by step. Humphry Davy showed that hydrogen is the essential part of acids. Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac then described acids as substances that neutralize...

Water as an Amphiprotic Substance

Water can act as both a Brønsted-Lowry acid and a Brønsted-Lowry base. When hydrogen fluoride dissolves in water, it donates protons to water. This is acid ionization. The products are hydronium ions and fluoride ions. Water can also accept protons from another substance. When pyridine dissolves in water, it accepts a proton from water molecules. This is base ionization. The products are hydroxide ions and pyridinium ions. These reactions show that water can play either role. A substance that...

ph scale

pH and pOH in Water

pH and pOH show how hydronium and hydroxide ions behave in water and other aqueous solutions. These ion concentrations are linked by the ion product of water, K w , so when one goes up, the other goes down. Because ion concentrations can differ by huge amounts, a logarithmic scale is used to describe them. pH is defined from the hydronium ion concentration, [H3O+], and pOH is the matching p-function for hydroxide ion concentration. These two values are also connected through the K w...

How Ka and Kb Show Acid-Base Strength

Brønsted-Lowry acid-base chemistry is based on proton transfer. That idea helps show how the strength of an acid is linked to the strength of its conjugate base, and vice versa. Acid and base strength is measured with ionization constants, Ka and Kb, which tell how far an ionization reaction goes. For the conjugate pair HA and A−, the acid ionizes in water and the base reaction can be written for the partner species. When the two reactions are added, they give the autoionization of water. The...

strong acid and base solutions

Strong Acids, Strong Bases, and pH

Strong acids and strong bases change the pH of a solution by dissociating completely in water. A strong acid produces hydronium ions, which are H3O+ ions, and a strong base produces hydroxide ions, OH-. Because the dissociation is complete, the ion concentration can be found from the starting concentration and the molar ratio. For example, 0.20 M hydrobromic acid dissociates fully in water. It produces 0.20 M hydronium ions and 0.20 M bromide ions. A 0.015 M KOH solution also dissociates...

weak acid solutions

Weak Acid Equilibrium in Water

Weak acid equilibrium in water explains why many acids only partially react when dissolved. Most weak acid molecules stay in their original form, and only a small amount of hydronium ions forms. Weak acids are common in nature. They help create the tangy taste of citrus fruits, the stinging sensation from insect bites, and the smells linked to body odor. Acetic acid is a familiar weak acid. It is the main ingredient in vinegar. Its equation uses a double arrow to show that the reaction with...

weak base solutions

Weak Base pH and Kb Calculations

Weak base pH and Kb calculations show how partially reacting bases change water chemistry. Weak bases produce hydroxide ions when they dissolve by reacting with water molecules. Because the reaction only happens partly, these compounds are classified as weak bases. Weak bases are common in nature and in technology. Ammonia is one major example. Global production of ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons each year. It is used as an agricultural fertilizer, a starting material for...

mixtures of acids

pH of Acid Mixtures

The pH of acid mixtures depends on the acids present, their dissociation constants, and their starting concentrations. When a solution contains two different acids, the pH can be found by choosing the method that fits their relative strengths. This makes acid mixtures a useful case for applying acid-base rules in chemistry. In a mixture of a strong acid and a weak acid, the strong acid dissociates completely and supplies almost all of the hydronium ions in the solution. The weak acid...

Salt Hydrolysis and pH of Solutions

Salt hydrolysis explains why some salt solutions are acidic, basic, or neutral. Salts are ionic compounds made of cations and anions. In water, either ion may react with water through an acid or base ionization reaction. The pH of the solution depends on the relative acid-base strength of the ions in the salt. Ammonium chloride is a good example of an acidic salt. When it dissolves, it separates into ammonium ions and chloride ions. The ammonium ion is the conjugate acid of ammonia, so it can...

determining the ph of salt solutions

Salt Hydrolysis and pH in Solutions

Salt hydrolysis and pH in solutions depend on the ions released when a salt dissolves. Some ions react with water, while others do not. The balance between the cation and anion helps show whether the solution becomes acidic, basic, or neutral. Salts with pH-neutral anions and cations that produce hydronium ions give acidic solutions with pH below 7. Ammonium nitrate is one example. In NH4NO3, NO3− does not react with water, but NH4+ forms hydronium ions, so the solution is acidic. Other salts...

Acid and base strength in water depends on how much a substance ionizes after it dissolves. If ionization is nearly complete, the substance is called strong. If only a small amount ionizes, it is called weak. Weak acids and weak bases are much more common than strong ones. The most common strong acids are HClO4, HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, and H2SO4.

polyprotic acids

Stepwise Ionization of Polyprotic Acids

Polyprotic acids lose hydrogen ions in steps. The number of ionizable protons in a molecule determines whether an acid is monoprotic, diprotic, or triprotic. This video also shows that polyprotic bases can accept more than one proton. Monoprotic acids have one ionizable hydrogen atom per molecule. Examples include HCl, HNO3, and HCN. Their reactions with water form hydronium ions and the matching anion. Acetic acid, CH3CO2H, is also monoprotic because only the hydrogen in the carboxyl group...

acid strength and molecular structure

How Bonding Affects Acid Strength

Acid strength depends on bonding, electronegativity, and oxidation number. These factors help explain why some hydrogen compounds act as strong acids, while others behave as weak acids or bases. For binary acids, which are hydrogen compounds with one other nonmetal, acidity increases as the H-A bond gets weaker down a group. That is why the order for group 17 is HF &lt; HCl &lt; HBr &lt; HI, and for group 16 it is H2O &lt; H2S &lt; H2Se &lt; H2Te. Across a period, acid strength increases as...

lewis acids and bases

Electron-Pair Reactions in Acid-Base Chemistry

Electron-pair reactions explain Lewis acid-base chemistry. In 1923, G. N. Lewis described acids and bases by how they accept or donate a pair of electrons. When that electron pair forms a coordinate covalent bond, one atom supplies both bonding electrons. This bond is also called a dative bond. A simple example is the reaction of water with a hydrogen ion to make a hydronium ion. Ammonia can also combine with a hydrogen ion to form an ammonium ion. In both cases, the reaction creates a Lewis...
