ADVANCED CHEMISTRY
(Q2_LP1)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Do you know that the number of molecules in a single droplet of water is roughly 100 billion
times greater than the number of people on earth?

The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains, but by
the quantity of each type of atom or ion. For example, water, H2O, and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, are
alike in that their respective molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However,
because a hydrogen peroxide molecule contains two oxygen atoms, as opposed to the water molecule,
which has only one, the two substances exhibit very different properties. Today, we possess
sophisticated instruments that allow the direct measurement of these defining microscopic traits;
however, the same traits were originally derived from the measurement of macroscopic properties (the
masses and volumes of bulk quantities of matter) using relatively simple tools (balances and volumetric
glassware). This experimental approach required the introduction of a new unit for amount of
substances, the mole, which remains indispensable in modern chemical science.

The mole is an amount unit similar to familiar units like pair, dozen, gross, etc. It provides a
specific measure of the number of atoms or molecules in a bulk sample of matter. A mole is defined as
the amount of substance containing the same number of discrete entities (such as atoms, molecules,
and ions) as the number of atoms in a sample of pure 12C weighing exactly 12 g. One Latin connotation
for the word “mole” is “large mass” or “bulk,” which is consistent with its use as the name for this unit.
The mole provides a link between an easily measured macroscopic property, bulk mass, and an
extremely important fundamental property, number of atoms, molecules, and so forth.

ACTIVITY 3: MOLAR MASS


INSTRUCTIONS/ GUIDE QUESTIONS:

Please read on to know more about mass and molar mass…

As what you have learned, the atoms of different elements have different masses. The mass of
an atom expressed relative to the mass assigned to carbon-12 is the atomic mass of the atom. Now that
you know how to describe the atomic mass, in amu, how do you think would you find the mass of an
entire molecule of a compound?
Let us take a look at a molecule of water H2O. It contains two hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen
atom. You know from the periodic table that the atomic mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.0 amu. To find
the atomic mass of 2 hydrogen atoms then, you would multiply the atomic mass of single hydrogen
atom by 2. Thus, the atomic mass of 2 hydrogen atoms is 2.0 amu (2x1.0 amu). The atomic mass of 1
oxygen atom is 16.0 amu.
To find the total mass of the water molecule, you would add the mass of each atom in the
molecule. Hence, adding the atomic masses of all atoms in the water molecule yields a mass of 18.0
amu.( 2.0 amu+ 16.0 amu). The sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a compound is called the
formula mass of the compound.

4
Formula units are the number of particles on the subatomic scale. They refer to a particle that
can't be broken down into any other particles without changing what they are. Formula units can be
electrons, ions, atoms or molecules.
Formula Mass for Covalent Substances
For covalent substances, the formula represents the numbers and types of atoms composing a
single molecule of the substance; therefore, the formula mass may be correctly referred to as a
molecular mass.

Consider chloroform (CHCl3), a covalent compound once used as a surgical anesthetic and now
primarily used in the production of the “anti-stick” polymer, Teflon. The molecular formula of
chloroform indicates that a single molecule contains one carbon atom, one hydrogen atom, and three
chlorine atoms. The average molecular mass of a chloroform molecule is therefore equal to the sum of
the average atomic masses of these atoms. Figure 1-2 outlines the calculations used to derive the
molecular mass of chloroform, which is 119.37 amu.

Figure 1-2. The average mass of a chloroform molecule, CHCl3, is 119.37 amu, which is the sum of the average atomic
masses of each of its constituent atoms. The model shows the molecular structure of chloroform.

Likewise, the molecular mass of an aspirin molecule, C9H8O4, is the sum of the atomic masses
of nine carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and four oxygen atoms, which amounts to 180.15 amu
(Figure 1-3).

Figure 1-3. The average mass of an aspirin molecule is 180.15 amu. The model shows the molecular structure of aspirin,
C9H8O4.

Formula Mass for Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are composed of discrete cations and anions combined in ratios to yield
electrically neutral bulk matter. The formula mass for an ionic compound is calculated in the same way
as the formula mass for covalent compounds: by summing the average atomic masses of all the atoms

5
in the compound’s formula. Keep in mind, however, that the formula for an ionic compound does not
represent the composition of a discrete molecule, so it may not correctly be referred to as the “molecular
mass.”

As an example, consider sodium chloride, NaCl, the chemical name for common table salt.
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound composed of sodium cations, Na+, and chloride anions, Cl−,
combined in a 1:1 ratio. The formula mass for this compound is computed as 58.44 amu (see Figure 1-
4).

Figure 1-4. Table salt, NaCl, contains an array of sodium and chloride ions combined in a 1:1 ratio. Its formula mass is
58.44 amu.

The molar mass of a substance is the mass of one mole of that substance. Because of the nature
of the mole, the atomic mass of an element in atomic mass units is equal to the molar mass of that
substance in grams. Molar mass is useful in finding the number of moles of a substance within a given
sample.
To find the molar mass of a compound:
1. Use the chemical formula to determine the number of each type of atom present in the compound.
2. Multiply the atomic weight (from the periodic table) of each element by the number of atoms of that
element present in the compound.
3. Add it all together and put units of grams/mole after the number

Molar mass for O atoms = 16.00 g/mol

Molar mass for O2 molecules =

2 x (molar mass of O atoms) = 2 x (16.00 g/mol) = 32.00 g/mol

Molar mass for CO2 molecules =

1 x (molar mass of C atoms) = 1 x (12.01 g/mol) = 12.01 g/mol

+ 2 x (molar mass of O atoms) = 2 x (16.00 g/mol) = 32.00 g/mol

44.01 g/mol

Example 1. Computing Molecular Mass for a Covalent Compound


Ibuprofen, C13H18O2, is a covalent compound and the active ingredient in several popular
nonprescription pain medications, such as Advil and Motrin. What is the molecular mass (amu) for this
compound?

6
Solution
Molecules of this compound are comprised of 13 carbon atoms, 18 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen
atoms. Following the approach described above, the average molecular mass for this compound is
therefore:

purposes of computing a formula mass, it is helpful to rewrite the formula in the simpler format,
Al2S3O12. Following the approach outlined above, the formula mass for this compound is calculated as
follows:

ACTIVITY 4: THE MOLE CONCEPT
INSTRUCTIONS/ GUIDE QUESTIONS:
Read thoroughly the concept of mole and its relationship to mass and number of molecules below and
answer the given questions.

THE MOLE CONCEPT


Recall that mole is introduced to you as the amount of substance containing the same number
of atoms, molecules, ions, or other entities as the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of 12C.

The number of entities composing a mole has been experimentally determined to be


6.02214179 × 1023, a fundamental constant named Avogadro’s number (NA) or the Avogadro
constant in honor of Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro. This constant is properly reported with an
explicit unit of “per mole,” a conveniently rounded version being 6.022 × 1023/mol.
Consistent with its definition as an amount unit, 1 mole of any element contains the same
number of atoms as 1 mole of any other element. The masses of 1 mole of different elements, however,
are different, since the masses of the individual atoms are drastically different.
The relationships between formula mass, the mole, and Avogadro’s number can be applied to
compute various quantities that describe the composition of substances and compounds. For example,
if we know the mass and chemical composition of a substance, we can determine the number of moles
and calculate number of atoms or molecules in the sample. Likewise, if we know the number of moles
of a substance, we can derive the number of atoms or molecules and calculate the substance’s mass.
Look again at how these quantities are related.
55.847 g of iron = 6.022 x1023 iron atoms = 1 mol of iron
32.066 g of sulfur = 6.022 x 1023 sulfur atoms = 1 mol of sulfur

Table 1. Molar Masses of Common Elements and the Number of Particles in One Mole

Element Average Atomic Mass (amu) Molar Mass (g/mol) Atoms/Mole

C 12.01 12.01 6.022 × 1023

H 1.008 1.008 6.022 × 1023

O 16.00 16.00 6.022 × 1023

Na 22.99 22.99 6.022 × 1023

Cl 35.45 33.45 6.022 × 1023

8
THE MASS-MOLE RELATIONSHIP
The number of moles is computed by dividing its mass (g) by its atomic mass if it’s an element and
molar mass (g/mol) if it’s a compound. Mathematically, this can be written as
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
1. No. of moles = (if the substance is an element)
𝐴𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑐 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠

or by using symbols
𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔
n = 𝑨𝒕.𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
2. No. of moles = (if the substance is a compound)
𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠

or by using symbols
𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔
n = 𝑴𝒐𝒍.𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔

Example 3. Deriving Mass from number of Moles


According to nutritional guidelines from the US Department of Agriculture, the estimated average
requirement for dietary potassium is 4.7 g. What is the estimated average requirement of potassium in
moles?
Solution
The mass of K is provided, and the corresponding amount of K in moles is requested. Referring to the
periodic table, the atomic mass of K is 39.10 amu, and so its molar mass is 39.10 g/mol. The given
mass of K (4.7 g) is a bit more than one-tenth the molar mass (39.10 g), so a reasonable “ballpark”
estimate of the number of moles would be slightly greater than 0.1 mol.

Figure 1-7. Solution for deriving mass of K atoms from the given number of moles

𝟒.𝟕 𝒈
n=
𝟑𝟗.𝟏𝟎 𝒈/𝒎𝒐𝒍

n = 0.12 mol
The factor-label method supports this mathematical approach since the unit “g” cancels and the answer
has units of “mol:”
The calculated magnitude (0.12 mol K) is consistent with our ballpark expectation, since it is a bit
greater than 0.1 mol.

instruments. How many moles of Be are in a thin-foil window weighing 3.24 g?

Example 4. Deriving Mass from number of Moles
Problem: How many grams are in 0.762 mol of CO2?
Solution: We use dimensional analysis and the molar mass of carbon dioxide to solve this
problem. Earlier, we found the molar mass of CO2 to be 44.01 g/mol.

Figure 1-8. Solution for deriving the mass of CO2 from the given number of moles

Example 5. Deriving Mass from number of Moles


A liter of air contains 9.2 × 10−4 mol argon. What is the mass of Ar in a liter of air?
Solution
The molar amount of Ar is provided and must be used to derive the corresponding mass in grams. Since
the amount of Ar is less than 1 mole, the mass will be less than the mass of 1 mole of Ar, approximately
40 g. The molar amount in question is approximately one-one thousandth (~10−3) of a mole, and so the
corresponding mass should be roughly one-one thousandth of the molar mass (~0.04 g):

Figure 1-9. Solution for deriving the mass of Ar atoms from the given number of moles

9.2 × 10−4 mol x 40 g/mol = 0.04 g


The result agrees with our expectations, around 0.04 g Ar.

THE MOLE-NUMBER OF PARTICLES RELATIONSHIP


The mole concept provides conversion factors that establish the relationship of the moles of
substances and the number of particles they actually contain. When we say particles, we mean atoms
(for element) and molecules (for compounds).

10
As mentioned earlier, one mole of any substance contains a number of particles which is equal
to 6.02 x 1023 atoms or molecules (Avogadro’s number, symbol N). From this relationship, we can
conclude that the number of atoms or molecules contained in a given mass of a substance may be
computed as follows:
1. Number of atoms (if the given substance is an element)
# atoms = no. of moles x Avogadro’s number
or
# atoms = n x N
and since n= mass/atomic mass and N= 6.02 x 1023 atoms/mol, the above formula will become
𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔
# atoms = ( 𝑨𝒕.𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔) 6.02 x 1023 atoms/mol

2. Number of molecules (if the given substance is a compound)


# molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro’s number
or by using symbols
# molecules = n x N
𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔
and since n= 𝑴𝒐𝒍.𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔 and N= 6.02 x 1023 molecules/mol, the above equation may also be written as
𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔
# molecules = (𝑴𝒐𝒍.𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔 ) 6.02 x 1023 molecules/mol

Example 6. Deriving number of Moles from number of atoms of an element


Problem: How many atoms are in 2.15 mol of solid sodium metal?
Solution: We use dimensional analysis and an equivalent term for Avogadro’s number to solve this
problem.

Figure 1-10. Solution for deriving the number of moles of Na from its number of atoms

Example 7. Deriving number of atoms from Mass for an Element


Copper is commonly used to fabricate electrical wire. How many copper atoms are in 5.00 g of
copper wire?

11
Solution:

Figure 1-11. Solution for deriving the number of Cu atoms from its given mass

Considering that the provided sample mass (5.00 g) is a little less than one-tenth the mass of 1 mole of
Cu (~64 g), a reasonable estimate for the number of atoms in the sample would be on the order of one-
tenth NA, or approximately 1022 Cu atoms. Carrying out the two-step computation yields:
𝟓.𝟎𝟎 𝒈
# atoms of Cu = ( 𝟔𝟒 𝒈/𝒎𝒐𝒍) 6.02 x 1023 atoms/mol

# atoms of Cu = 4.74 x 1022


The factor-label method yields the desired cancellation of units, and the computed result is on the order
of 1022 as expected.

structural formula:

Given that saccharin has a molar mass of 183.18 g/mol, how many saccharin molecules are in a
40.0 mg (0.0400-g) sample of saccharin? How many carbon atoms are in the same sample?

12
Solution

Figure 1-13. Solution for deriving the number of saccharin molecules from its given mass

Using the provided mass and molar mass for saccharin yields:

# molecules = ( ) 6.02 x 1023 molecules/mol

# molecules = 1.31 x 1020

The compound’s formula shows that each molecule contains seven carbon atoms, and so the number
of C atoms in the provided sample is:
# C atoms = 1.31 x 1020 x 7
# C atoms = 9.20 x 1021

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Chemical reaction is a process in which a substance/s is changed to one or more new substances.
The reacting substances are called reactants while the substances formed are called products. The
chemists have devised a standard way to represent chemical reaction by using chemical equation. In a
chemical equation, the reactants are written on the left side of the arrow while the products are on the
right.

Example: H2 + O2 H2 O

reactants product

Consider the example above, when hydrogen gas (H2) burns in the air with oxygen (O2) to form
water (H2O). In the reactants, there are two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms while in the product
side there are two hydrogen atoms and only one oxygen atom. Therefore, the equation is not complete
because there are twice as many O2 atoms on the left side of the arrow as on the right side. To conform
with the Law of Conservation of Mass, there must be the same number of atoms on both sides of the
arrow. Therefore, in the example above, there is a need to balance the equation.

Take note of the different symbols used in writing chemical equations.

LEARNING COMPETENCY WITH CODE:

MELC: Balance chemical equation.

CG LC/ Code:
4. discuss chemical reaction and chemical equation
5. balance chemical equations
6. transform chemical reactions to balanced chemical equations

ACTIVITIES/ EXERCISES:

We can balance chemical equations by placing coefficients before the symbols of the reactants
and/or products. In the chemical equation below, we balance it by placing the coefficients 2 on
hydrogen atom and 2 on water molecule.

Example: H2 + O2 H2 O

2H2 + O2 2H2O

Let us now check if the equation is balanced by counting the number of each atom on both sides
of the arrow. We just have to multiply the coefficient with the subscript of each element. There are
now 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atom on both sides. Therefore, we can say that the chemical
equation is balanced.

Let us have the following examples. Study and list down certain techniques on how to balance
them.

UNBALANCED EQUATION BALANCED EQUATION

Al + O2 Al2O3 4Al + 3O2 2Al2O3

1 = Al = 2 4 = Al = 4

2 = O = 3 6 = O = 6
__________________________________________________________________________

KClO3 KCl + O2 2KClO3 2KCl + 3O2

1 = K = 2 2 = K = 2

1 = Cl = 1 2 = Cl = 2

3 = O = 2 6 = O = 6
__________________________________________________________________________

20
Mg + AgNO3 Mg (NO3)2 + Ag Mg + 2AgNO3 Mg (NO3)2 + 2Ag
1 = Mg = 1 1 = Mg = 1

1 = Ag = 1 2 = Ag = 2

1 = NO3 = 2 2 = NO3 = 2
__________________________________________________________________________

Let us discuss the solution in number 1 of our previous activity, Al + O2 Al2O3. List down
the symbol of elements or polyatomic molecules in the equation and write the number of atoms on each
side as shown in the examples above.

Al + O2 Al2O3.

1 = Al = 2
2 = O = 3

As you can see, the equation is not balanced. The element O has the largest number of atoms
on the left. Let us balance the O first. The LCM of the 2 and 3 is 6. So we have to produce 6 atoms of
O on each side of the equations. To produce 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation, multiply the
2 atoms of O by 3. On the other side, to produce 6 atoms of O, we have to multiply 3 atoms of O by 2.
The balance is shown below.

Al + 3O2 2Al2O3

The coefficient of 2 placed before Al2O3 which is intended for O, affects the number of atoms
of Al on the right. There are now 4 atoms of Al on the right while 1 atom of Al on the left. Therefore,
to balance the no. of atoms of Al, we have to multiply 1 atom of Al on the left by 4. The balance is
shown below. Then, check the number of atoms again.

4Al + 3O2 2Al2O3

4 = Al = 4
6 = O = 6

Since the number of atoms for each element on the left is equal to that of the right, then we can
say that the chemical equation is balanced.

ACTIVITY 1: BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS


INSTRUCTIONS/ GUIDE QUESTIONS:

Try to balance the following chemical equations and show your solution. Write the balanced
equation on the blank provided.

1. Na + H2 NaOH + H2 ________________________________

21
2. N2 + H2 NH3 ________________________________

3. Al + HCl H2 + AlCl3 ________________________________

4. K2O + H2O KOH ________________________________

5. (NH4)2SO4 + Fe (NO3)3 Fe2(SO4)3 + NH4NO3


________________________________

Now, that you are done with the activity. We know that chemical equations are balanced by
trial and error and by certain techniques depending on the forms of equations. The following rules are
helpful:

1. In most cases, it is advisable to start the balancing with the element having the largest number
of atoms.
2. If the element to be balanced appears in only one substance on one side of the equation and
in another substance on the other side, get the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers of atoms
of this element. The LCM is also the number of atoms at which the element balances.

3. If an element appears in more than one substance on a side of an equation, it is in most cases
advisable to make an odd number of atoms even by multiplying it by 2.

4. In cases wherein the atoms of a certain polyatomic ion on one side of the equation appear
to be intact and the same ion is found on the other side of the equation, consider the polyatomic ion as
one entity.

5. Any coefficient placed before the chemical formula is a multiple of the subscript of each
element.

ACTIVITY 2: BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATION


INSTRUCTIONS/ GUIDE QUESTIONS:

Balance the following chemical equations by writing their respective coefficients.

1. ___K + ___O2 ___K2O

2. ___Al + ___ZnCl2 ___AlCl3 + ___Zn

22
3. ___Mg + ___O2 ___MgO

4. ___Na + ___S ___Na2S

5. ___Na2CO3 + ___Mg (NO3)2 ___NaNO3 + ___MgCO3

6. ___C3H7OH + ___O2 ___CO2 + ___H2O

7. ___C2H5OH + ___O2 ___CO2 + ___H2O

8. ___P4O10 + ___H2O ___H3PO4

9. ___CaO + ___H2O ___ Ca (OH)2

10. ___LiO2 + ___H2O ___LiOH

The next activity is to transform chemical reactions into chemical equations to test if you have
already mastered writing chemical formulas and balancing chemical equations. To transform, we have
to identify first the reactants and products. Remember that elements are called free elements if they are
in their free state, meaning, they are not in combination with another element in the equation. They can
be monoatomic or diatomic. There are only seven diatomic free elements. Remember the acronym
BRINCLHOF, bromine (B2), iodine (I2), nitrogen (N2), chlorine (Cl2), hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2) and
fluorine (F2). You will be writing these seven diatomic elements’ symbol with 2 as their subscripts.
Study the example of transforming chemical reactions into chemical equations below and do the next
activity.

Example: Chemical Reaction: Nitrogen and hydrogen reacts to form ammonia

Chemical equation: N2 + H2 NH3

Balanced Equation: N2 + 3H2 2NH3

ADVANCED CHEMISTRY
(Q2_LP 3)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

In our previous lessons, you have learned that chemists count quantities of elements and
compounds in terms of moles and that they relate moles of a substance to mass by using the molar
mass. In addition, you have learned to write chemical equations so that they represent the
rearrangement of atoms that take place during chemical reactions, and you have learned to balance
these equations.
In this lesson, you will be able to put these separate skills together to make predictions about
the quantities of substances that react or are given off as products and relate those quantities to one
another based on balanced equations. This process of relating quantities of reactants and products
in a chemical reaction to one another is called stoichiometry. It is derived from the Ancient Greek
words ``stoicheion” which means element and “metron” which means to measure.

LEARNING COMPETENCY WITH CODE:

MELC: Perform stoichiometric calculations.

ADVANCED CHEMISTRY
(Q2_LP 4)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

One of the important classes of compounds are acids and bases. But what makes them different? They
differ physically and chemically. According to Arrhenius definition, acids ionize in water to produce a
hydronium ion and bases dissociate in water to produce hydroxide ions.
Physical differences can be detected by the senses, including taste and touch. Acids have a
sour or tart taste and can produce a stinging sensation to broken skin. Many acids are found in foods
and even in our body. Bases have a bitter taste and a slippery feel. Soap and many cleaning agents are
bases.
Reactions with acids and bases vary depending on the substances being reacted. They react
differently. The strength of their acidity or basicity can be determined using indicators such as litmus
paper, pH meter, phenolphthalein and methyl orange solution. Based on this strength, acids and bases
can be classified as strong or weak.
For us to fully understand the nature of acids and bases, let us explore this lesson!

LEARNING COMPETENCY WITH CODE:

MELC: Discuss general properties of acids and bases and identify strong and weak acids

properties in the third column.

39
Group Number Common properties

Acid

Base

Activity 2.2 – pH Value


The substances given in Activity 1 are few examples of the acids and bases that we encounter
every day. The acidity or basicity of a substance can be determined using indicators such as
phenolphthalein, methyl orange, bromothymol blue, pH meter and litmus paper. Among these,
the most commonly used is the litmus paper which has been treated with a specific indicator —a
mixture of 10 to 15 natural dyes obtained from lichens. It that turns red in response to acidic
condition and blue for basic condition.

40
Below is a pH scale chart which is used to determine the pH value of a substance.

Figure 1. The pH scale measures acidity. It ranges from 1-14.

Activity 2.4 – Weak and Strong Acid and Base


Acid and base can be strong or weak. The determinants for these are:
1. Strong acid or base completely ionizes or dissociates in aqueous solution thus considered a
strong electrolyte.
2. Weak acid or base is partially ionized or dissociates in aqueous solution.
3. Weak acid or base undergoes reversible reaction which is indicated by double arrow
in a chemical reaction equation
5. Ionization constant value is used to determine their strength of weak acids and bases.
Weak acids with relatively higher Ka values are stronger than acids with relatively
lower Ka values. Weak bases with relatively higher Kb values are stronger than bases with
relatively lower Kb values.
6. For oxyacid, the greater the number of oxygen, the more acidic it is.

A. Direction: Determine the following as to strong or weak acid or base. Write SA for strong

The table below shows the properties of acids and bases.

Acid and base are classified strong if it is completely ionized, and weak if partially ionized.
Weak acids and bases tend to undergo reversible reactions. The strength of weak acids and bases
can be determined using the ionization constant value. Weak acids with relatively higher Ka values
are stronger than acids with relatively lower Ka values. Weak bases with relatively
higher Kb values are stronger than bases with relatively lower Kb values.
Common strong acids and bases are listed below.

ADVANCE CHEMISTRY
(Q2_LP5)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Introductory Concept
In 1923, the Danish chemist Johannes Bronsted (1879-1947) and the English chemist Thomas
Lowry (1874-1936) independently proposed a new definition of acids and bases. The Brønsted-Lowry
theory describes acid-base interactions in terms of proton transfer between chemical species. The
Bronsted-Lowry theory defines an acid as a hydrogen-ion donor. Similarly, Bronsted-Lowry base
is a hydrogen-ion acceptor.
Using the Brønsted-Lowry definition, an acid-base reaction is any reaction in which a proton is
transferred from an acid to a base. We can use the Brønsted-Lowry definitions to discuss acid-base
reactions in any solvent, as well as those that occur in the gas phase.
Water is amphoteric, which means it can act as both a Brønsted-Lowry acid and a Brønsted-
Lowry base. Strong acids and bases ionize completely in aqueous solution, while weak acids and bases
ionize only partially. The conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is the species formed after an acid
donates a proton. The conjugate acid of a Brønsted-Lowry base is the species formed after a base
accepts a proton. The two species in a conjugate acid-base pair have the same molecular formula except
the acid has an extra, H, compared to the conjugate base. When a Brønsted acid dissociates, it increases
the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution, conversely, Brønsted bases dissociate by taking a
proton from the solvent (water) to generate [OH−].

_______5. How many equivalents are there in 9.8 g H3PO4?
a. 0.20 c. 0.30
b. 0.10 d. 0.15

CHEMICAL REACTIONS:

For example, consider the reaction of ammonia gas, NH3(g) with hydrogen chloride
gas, HCl(g) to form solid ammonium chloride, NH4Cl(s).
NH3(g)+HCl(g)→NH4Cl(s)
This reaction can also be represented using the Lewis structures of the reactants and products,
as seen below:

49
In this reaction, HCl donates its proton to NH3. Therefore, HCl is acting as a Brønsted-
Lowry acid. Since NH3 has a lone pair which it uses to accept a proton, NH3 is a Brønsted-Lowry
base.
ACTIVITY 2: ACIDS and BASES
INSTRUCTIONS: Box the Bronsted-Lowry acid and encircle the Bronsted-Lowry base in the
reaction:

HNO3(aq) + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + NO3−(aq)

1. NH3(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ NH4+ (aq) + OH−(aq)


2. HCO3- + HOH H2CO3 + OH-
3. HCl + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + Cl¯
4. C6H5NH2(aq) + H2O(ℓ)↽−−⇀C6H5NH+3(aq)+OH−(aq)
5. CH3CH2OH + H2SO4 <=> CH3CH2OH2+ + HSO4−

In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, a conjugate acid is the species formed after the
base accepts a proton. By contrast, a conjugate base is the species formed after an acid donates its
proton. The two species in a conjugate acid-base pair have the same molecular formula except the acid
has an extra H+, compared to the conjugate base.

ACTIVITY 3: CONJUGATE ACID-BASE PAIR

INSTRUCTIONS: Explain the conjugate acid-base pair in the reaction in ACTIVITY NO.2. The
first one is done for you.

Ex. HCl(aq) + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)


Acid base
1. After HCl donates its proton, the Cl− ion is formed; thus, Cl− is the conjugate base of HCl. When
water accepts a proton, H3O+ is formed. Therefore, H3O+ is the conjugate acid of H2O.

The Relative Strengths of Some Common Conjugate Acid–Base Pairs

A solution is neutral when it contains equal concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide


ions. When we mix solutions of an acid and a base, an acid-base neutralization reaction occurs.
However, even if we mix stoichiometrically equivalent quantities, we may find that the resulting
solution is not neutral. It could contain either an excess of hydronium ions or an excess of hydroxide
ions because the nature of the salt formed determines whether the solution is acidic, neutral, or basic.

The following four situations illustrate how solutions with various pH values can arise
following a neutralization reaction using stoichiometrically equivalent quantities:

1. A strong acid and a strong base will react to form a neutral solution since the conjugate partners
produced are of negligible strength.
2. A strong acid and a weak base yield a weakly acidic solution, not because of the strong acid
involved, but because of the conjugate acid of the weak base.
3. A weak acid and a strong base yield a weakly basic solution. A solution of a weak acid reacts
with a solution of a strong base to form the conjugate base of the weak acid and the conjugate
acid of the strong base. The conjugate acid of the strong base is a weaker acid than water and
has no effect on the acidity of the resulting solution. However, the conjugate base of the weak
acid is a weak base and ionizes slightly in water. This increases the amount of hydroxide ion in
the solution produced in the reaction and renders it slightly basic.
4. A weak acid plus a weak base can yield either an acidic, basic, or neutral solution. This is the
most complex of the four types of reactions. When the conjugate acid and the conjugate base
are of unequal strengths, the solution can be either acidic or basic, depending on the relative
strengths of the two conjugates. Occasionally the weak acid and the weak base will have
the same strength, so their respective conjugate base and acid will have the same strength, and

51
the solution will be neutral. To predict whether a particular combination will be acidic, basic or
neutral, tabulated K values of the conjugates must be compared.

This is the general format for a neutralization reaction:

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

It is important to note that neutralization reactions are just a specific type of double displacement
redox reaction. Remember the rules for writing displacement reactions.

1. Figure out what the reactants and products will be.


o The cations will switch places in the products for double replacement
reactions.
o The element will replace the cation in the reacting compound and result in
a new product for single replacement reactions.
2. Make sure that all of the compound formulas are correctly written based on the
oxidation state of the elements involved.
3. Balance the equation.
