Objectives
• Distinguish acidic from basic compounds
• Distinguish a strong acid/base from a
weak acid/base
• Determine experimentally the ionization
constant of a weak electrolyte
• Determine experimentally the solubility
product constant of a slightly soluble
substance
Review: Acids and Bases
• Arrhenius
– Acids: substances that contain hydrogen and
dissociate in water to yield hydronium ions
– Bases: substances that contain hydroxyl groups
and dissociate in water to yield hydroxide ions
• Bronsted-Lowry
- expanded the definition of a base
- Base: specie with an electron pair available to
accept a transferred proton.
Review: Acids and Bases
• Lewis
- Acids: electron pair acceptors
- Bases: electron pair donators
Review: Strength of Acids & Bases
• Acids & Bases –
electrolytes
• Strong acids & bases –
almost completely
dissociate or ionize in water
• Weak acids & bases –
dissociate only slightly
Ionic Equilibrium
• observed when ionization takes place in a
solvent medium.

Results and Discussion
Part 1. Strong and Weak
Electrolytes (Result)
• C2 = 0.00375 M
• C2 = [HCl] = 0.00375 M
• [HCl] = [H3O+] in HCl solution = 0.00375 M
– Because it is a strong acid
• [H3O+] in HCl solution = [H3O+] in the acetic acid
(HOAc) solution
– Because same color with same pH indicator
• Therefore, [H3O+] in the acetic acid solution = 0.00375M
Part 2. Ionization Constant of
Acetic Acid (Discussion)
At equilibrium, x = [H3O+]
[H3O+] = 0.00375 M.
Since x = [OAc-] = [H3O+]
[OAc-] = 0.00375 M.
At equilibrium,
[HOAc] = 1M – x
= 1M – 0.00375M
= 0.99625 M
Part 2. Ionization Constant of
Acetic Acid (Discussion)
Summary of Values
Volume of HCl used 0.6 mL
[H3O+] in HCl solution 0.00375 M
H3O+] in HOAc solution 0.00375 M
Equilibrium Concentration of HOAc 0.99625 M
solution
[C6H5COO-] = x
[H3O+] =x
[C6H5COO-] = [H3O+]
= 0.0197 M too
Part 3. Solubility Product Constant of
Benzoic Acid (Discussion)
• Calculating the solubility product constant
Ka = [C6H5COO- ][ H3O+]
[C6H5COOH]
Ka[C6H5COOH] = [C6H5COO-] [H3O+]
Ksp = [C6H5COO-][H3O+]
= (0.0197M) (0.0197M)
= 0.00038809
~ 3.9 x 10-4
Part 3. Solubility Product Constant of
Benzoic Acid (Discussion)
Calculating the solubility of benzoic acid
