Self Ionization of Water
H2O(l) + H2O(l) ' H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
This reaction occurs _____________________ (in very small amounts) in water
In this reaction one water acts as an acid and the other acts as a base. Water is amphiprotic
Substances that are amphiprotic can act as ___________ an acid or a base.
K = Kw =
= 1 x 10-14
(exact number)
Kw is called the ion-product of water
Example:
What is the [OH-] if the [H3O+] = 4.82 x 10-5?
18
pH and pOH
The [H3O+] of any aqueous solution is a very important characteristic, and we often need to
talk about it. It is inconvenient to talk about the concentration in units such as 4.50 x 10-12 M
or numbers similar to this form. So scientist defined a new number called _____ to talk
about the concentration in a more convenient form. The formula for pH is:
pH =
Example 1:
What is the pH of a solution if the [H3O+] = 1 x 10-8?
Example 2:
What is the pH of a solution if the [H3O+] = 3.65 x 10-12?
Remember that the “antilog” is 10x. So, if we know pH we can calculate the [H3O+] using the
formula [H3O+] = 10-pH
Example 3:
What is the [H3O+] if the pH = 3.5?
Example 4:
What is the [H3O+] if the pH is 10.6?
We can also use pOH to talk about the [OH-]: pOH =
We can use the properties of logs and the Kw to get the formula:
and
[OH-] = 10-pOH
pH + pOH = 14
