Ionic equilibrium
The equilibrium between ions
and the undissociated molecules
are known as ionic equilibrium
and this type of equilibrium is
governed by weak acids and
bases and sparingly soluble salts .
Subhasish-orbital
Acid-base Theory
1. Arrhenius (1880s) :
Applied to aqueous solutions only
Acids : Substances that produce hydrogen ions, H+(aq)
when dissolved in water. E.g. HCl
Bases : Substances that produce hydroxide ions, OH(aq)
when dissolved in water.
E.g. NaOH

Acid-base Theory
Arrhenius Concept
According to Arrhenius concept all substances which
giveH+ionswhen dissolved in water are called acids while
those which ionize in water to furnishOH -ionsare called
bases.
HA = H++ A-(Acid)
BOH= B++ OH-(Base)
Subhasish-orbital-C-27
Acid-base Theory
Some acids and bases ionize completely in
solutions and are called strongacids and
bases. Others are dissociated to a limited
extent in solutions and are termedweak acids
and bases.
HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HCIO4, etc.,
are
examples of strong acids and NaOH, KOH,
(CH3)4NOH are strong bases.
Subhasish-orbital
Acid-base Theory
Every hydrogen compound cannot be regarded
as an acid, e.g., CH4is not an acid. Similarly,
CH3OH, C2H5OH, etc., have OH groups but
they are not bases, they must generate H+or
OH-ions in aqueous solution in order to be
defined as acid or base
Subhasish-orbital
Acid-base Theory
Actually free H+ions are highly reactive so
they do not exist in water. They combine with
water molecules to form hydronium ion (H3O+)
molecules,i.e., have strong tendency to get
hydrated.
HX + H2O = H3O++ X (Hydronium ion)
Subhasish-orbital-C-27
Acid-base Theory
The reaction between an acid and a base
is termedneutralization.
According to Arrhenius concept, the
neutralization in aqueous solution
involves the reaction between H+and
OH-ions or hydronium and OH-. This can
be represented as
H3O++ OH- = 2H2O
Subhasish-orbital
Acid-base Theory
Limitations ofArrhenius concept
1. For the acidic or basic properties, the presence
of water is absolutely necessary. Dry HCl shall
not act as an acid. HCl is regarded as an acid
only when dissolved in water and not in any other
solvent.
2 .The concept does not explain acidic and basic
character of substances in non-aqueous solvents.

Acid-base Theory
Limitations ofArrhenius concept
3. The neutralization process is limited to those
reactions which can occur in aqueous solutions
only, although reactions involving salt
formation do occur in the absence of solvent.
4. It cannot explain the acidic character of
certain salts such as AlCl3in aqueous solution.
5. An artificial explanation is required to explain
the basic nature of NH3and metallic oxides
and acidic nature of non-metal oxides.

the hydrogen-ion concentration.

THE pH CONCEPT
pKw = -log(Kw) = -log(1.00 x 10-14) = 14
pOH = -log[OH-]
[H3O+][OH-] = Kw
Implies that
pH + pOH = pKw
pH + pOH = 14.00

nCKa= nC [nC ]n= [nC ](n+1)

Subhasish-orbital-C-27
.. pH = -1/(n+1) log10(nCKa)
For monobasic acid, n = 1
pH = -logCK
Since Ka= [nC]n
ka/ = (nC)n
[nC ] = [K/]1/n= [H+]
pH = -1/n log10(K/)
For n = 1 pH = -log10(K/)

Limitations of pH Scale:
pH values of the solutions do not give us
immediate idea of the relative strengths
of the solutions. A solution of pH = 1 has a
hydrogen ion concentration 100 times that
of a solution of pH = 3 (not three times).
A 4 x 10-5NHCI is twice concentrated of
a 2 x 10-5NHCI solution, but the pH
values of these solutions are 4.40 and
4.70 (not double).

Solubility product
Other Applications of Solubility Product
(i)Purification of common salt
Natural common salt consists of many insoluble and soluble
impurities. Saturated solution of common salt is prepared and
insoluble impurities are filtered off. Hydrogen chloride gas (HCl)
is circulated through the saturated solution. HCl and NaCl
dissociate into their respective ions as:
NaCl Na++ ClHCl H++ ClThe concentration of Cl-ions increases considerably in solution
due to ionization HCl. Hence, the ionic product [Na +][Cl-] exceeds
the solubility product of sodium chloride and, therefore, pure
sodium chloride precipitates out from solution.

Solubility product
(ii) Salting out of soap
Soap is a sodium salt of higher acids. From the solution, soap
is precipitated by the addition of concentrated solution of
sodium chloride. Soap and sodium chloride are present in
the form of ions.
CnH2n+1COONa CnH2n+1COO-+ Na+
Soap
NaCl Na++ ClThus, the concentration of Na+ ions increases considerably on
addition of NaCl solution. Hence, the ionic product
[CnH2n+1COO-] [Na+] exceeds the solubility product of soap
and, therefore, soap precipitates out from the solution.

(iii)Manufacture of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda):
In Solvay's soda process. CO 2gas is passed through
ammonical brine to precipitate out NaHCO 3.
NH4OH + CO2 NH4HCO3
NH4HCO3+ NaCl NaHCO3+ NH4Cl
NaHCO3is precipitated first because of its lower
solubility product as compared to those of NH 4Cl,
NH3HCO3and NaCl.
Thus, baking soda (NaHCO3) can be quantifiably
estimated.

(iv)Application of solubility product in quantitative
analysis
Estimation of barium as barium sulphate:
H2SO4as precipitating agent is added to the aqueous
solution of BaCl2.
BaCl2+ H2SO4 BaSO4+ 2HCl
Precipitation of BaSO4takes place when its ionic
product exceeds solubility product. H2SO4is added in
slight excess to ensure complete precipitation. Large
excess of H2SO4is harmful for complex formation.
