two primary uses of acid base indicators
mark end of titration
Estimate pH of a solution by using a different number of indicators, replace more expensive pH metre
What are acid base indicators
substances that change colour when The acidity of the solution changes
What is litmus
common indicator obtained from lichen, prepared by soaking absorbent paper with witness solution then drying
Why are acid-base indicators unique chemicals
can exist in two forms each with a distinctly different color, form of colour depends on acidity of a solution
Two forms of any indicator depend on
Whether a particular hydrogen atom is present in indicator molecule
HIn
In
given 2 pHs and volume one find volume two
show hydronium or hydroxide ions formed,
find to hydronium/hydroxide concentrations with formulas,
use dilution formula to solve
given concentration and two volumes, find PH
show hydronium or hydroxide ions formed
and determine ratio, calculate new concentration different ratio than 1 to 1,
use pH formula to solve
Give into volume and concentration, find concentration of diluted
Show hydroxide or hydromium formed,
determine ratio and calculate concentration is greater than 1 to 1,
identify that concentration of diluted equals C2,
use dilution formula to solve
Given two volumes and concentration, find pH of diluted solution
Find concentration of diluted solution,
use pH formula
what has an Inverse square relationship
exists between ion concentration and pH or POH
Greater hydronium ion concentration equals lower pH,
greater hydroxide ion concentration equals lower POH
Sig dig rules for hydro/hydrox ion concentrations and ph/poh
only use for POH and hydroxide and hydronium ion calculations
number of digits after the decimal in PH equals number of sig digs in ion concentrations
number of sig digs in ion concentration equals number of digits after the decimal in ph
what was hydronium ion concentration improved to and why
improved to pH formula, because we need pH measurements to one or more decimal places
monoprotic base and example
react with water wants to produce hydroxide ions
CH3COO-(aq)
polyprotic base and example
can react more than once with water but reactions are much less than 50%
week whose reactions with water decrease with each successive step
CO3 2-(aq)
Polyprotic base indicator
negative charge higher than one
non-polyprotic base and example
no possibility of successions with water
Ba(OH)2
What does pure water do
Self ionizes, contains hydroxide and hydronium ion’s
conductivity test of pure water
Concentrations are so low conductivity test would be negative
adding acid to water ads _____ which causes_____which makes the solution
Hydronium ion‘s, causing hydronium ion concentration to increase, makes solution conductive
adding base to water ads _____ which causes_____which makes the solution
hydroxide ions, causing hydroxide ion concentration to increase, makes solution conductive
exception to polyprotic acid being weak whose reaction with water decreases every time
H2SO4
strong acid because it’s first reaction with water is essentially complete, second reaction much less than 50% complete
polyprotic acid and example
weak whose Reaction with water decreases with each successive step
have more than one acidic hydrogen
H3PO4
Monoprotic acids
have only one acidic hydrogen atom in their compound formula
Strong acids classification and trick
HCL HBr HI HCIO4 H2SO4 HNO3
