18 00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:52,940 So first off let's write down the information that was given 19 00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:55,670 and the information that he's asking for. 20 00:00:55,670 --> 00:01:04,990 So we have 333 milliliters of a solution 21 00:01:04,990 --> 00:01:09,360 with pH equal to 9.9. 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,590 And he's asking you what must the pH be if you want to put 23 00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:21,330 in 222 milliliters in order to completely neutralize that 24 00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:24,030 basic solution. 25 00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:26,040 And the key here is to recognize 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,150 what neutralize means. 27 00:01:28,150 --> 00:01:35,350 And a neutralization is when you take acid, or protons, and 28 00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:41,960 base and it reacts to form water, thus 29 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:44,950 creating a neutral solution. 30 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:50,780 So the next step would probably be to figure out how 31 00:01:50,780 --> 00:01:55,590 much excess hydroxide we have in this solution. 32 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:59,950 And then we can figure out how much hydrogen we need to react 33 00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:05,340 with that hydroxide and to form water in order to 34 00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:08,610 completely neutralize this solution. 35 00:02:08,610 --> 00:02:13,630 So first step is to find out what our 36 00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:17,840 concentration of OH minus is. 37 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,920 And we do that by remembering a few things 38 00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,900 about acid/base solutions. 39 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:24,330 Right? 40 00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:31,550 We know that if you have the pH plus the pOH it equals 14. 41 00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:35,370 And this is from the equilibrium constant of this 42 00:02:35,370 --> 00:02:38,810 neutralization reaction. 43 00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:45,530 And then we can figure out what the pOH is because we're 44 00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:50,100 given the pH of our initial solution-- 45 00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:51,920 9.9-- 46 00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,660 and that equals 4.01. 47 00:02:55,660 --> 00:03:02,720 Now using the definition of pOH, which is that the pOH 48 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:10,300 equals the negative log of the concentration of the OH minus, 49 00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:17,840 we can rearrange that and get that our OH minus 50 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,350 concentration equals 10 to the negative pOH. 51 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:23,630 Right? 52 00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:26,740 Just using our log rules there. 53 00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:31,930 So this gives us that our current concentration of the 54 00:03:31,930 --> 00:03:38,700 hydroxide ion is 10 to the negative 4.1. 55 00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:40,220 That gives us the concentration of the 56 00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:43,110 hydroxide, but what we really want to know, if we're going 57 00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:46,720 to use our neutralization reaction here, is we want to 58 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,960 know how many moles of hydroxide we 59 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,840 have in that solution. 60 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,390 And we can just do that with stoichiometry. 61 00:03:53,390 --> 00:03:54,220 Right? 62 00:03:54,220 --> 00:04:00,290 The concentration is in moles per liter. 63 00:04:00,290 --> 00:04:01,810 And we know-- 64 00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:11,370 so our moles hydroxide equals our concentration, which is 10 65 00:04:11,370 --> 00:04:18,630 to the negative 4.1 moles per liter. 66 00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:20,080 Times-- 67 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,640 if we want to get rid of that liter unit we multiply it by 68 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:37,890 our volume, which is 333 milliliters, converting it 69 00:04:37,890 --> 00:04:40,970 from milliliters to liters. 70 00:04:40,970 --> 00:04:58,720 And this gives us 2.65 times 10 to the negative 5 moles of 71 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,950 OH minus in solution. 72 00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:04,990 So that's just the first step of this problem. 73 00:05:04,990 --> 00:05:08,600 Now that we have the number of moles of OH minus we need to 74 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,350 find the number of moles of H plus necessary to react with 75 00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:17,110 this excess hydroxide, and then we will be able to find 76 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:20,920 the concentration of hydrogen, or protons, 77 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,650 in that second solution. 78 00:05:24,650 --> 00:05:27,730 So first off we're going to look at our neutralization 79 00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:31,470 reaction over here and realize that it's a one-to-one 80 00:05:31,470 --> 00:05:33,340 stoichiometric ratio. 81 00:05:33,340 --> 00:05:36,990 That means in order to react with 2.65 times 10 to the 82 00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:40,760 negative 5 moles of hydroxide, we need the same number of 83 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,300 moles of hydrogen. 84 00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:48,420 So over here I'm going to say that this also equals the 85 00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:51,960 moles of H plus needed. 86 00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:57,690 All right. 87 00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:00,690 Now that we have our moles H plus needed, we need to do the 88 00:06:00,690 --> 00:06:04,630 same process here but in reverse. 89 00:06:04,630 --> 00:06:09,700 So first we need to find the concentration of protons that 90 00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:18,270 we have. So given that we want to only have 222 milliliters 91 00:06:18,270 --> 00:06:20,190 of this solution, right? 92 00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:21,440 So we have-- 93 00:06:29,550 --> 00:06:38,140 and we just divide that by our volume, 0.222 liters. 94 00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:38,430 Right? 95 00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:40,740 Because we divide by 1,000 to convert from milliliters. 96 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:52,500 And that equals 1.19 times 10 to the 97 00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:56,716 negative 4 moles per liter. 98 00:06:56,716 --> 00:06:59,670 So this is another problem where you could get the answer 99 00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:03,170 but not actually be answering the question. 100 00:07:03,170 --> 00:07:03,490 Right? 101 00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:07,370 Because this is the concentration of protons that 102 00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:11,670 we need, but now we need to convert that to pH. 103 00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:15,390 So moving over here we'll just write the final steps. 104 00:07:15,390 --> 00:07:21,100 We know the definition of pH is the negative log of the 105 00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,750 concentration. 106 00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:28,740 And so because we know the concentration of protons we 107 00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:30,430 know that the-- 108 00:07:34,340 --> 00:07:42,450 we just need to plug this into our calculator and we get our 109 00:07:42,450 --> 00:07:51,180 answer, which is a pH of 3.92. 110 00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:54,110 Put a box around that one because it's our correct final 111 00:07:54,110 --> 00:07:56,200 answer, and you'll be good to go for 112 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,230 this part of the problem. 113 00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:04,740 Now moving on to part b we are asked, name the conjugate base 114 00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:06,790 of each of the following. 115 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:13,030 So we'll just start part b right here. 116 00:08:13,030 --> 00:08:15,870 And the first thing to recognize is what does a 117 00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:18,170 conjugate base mean. 118 00:08:18,170 --> 00:08:23,520 And in an acid/base pair, or when you have a kind of 119 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,470 dissociation of an acid, in the most simple terms we can 120 00:08:28,470 --> 00:08:31,430 think about it just losing a proton. 121 00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:37,570 In the leftover molecule, that's the conjugate base 122 00:08:37,570 --> 00:08:38,900 right there. 123 00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:45,095 So in this problem we're asked if the molecule loses a 124 00:08:45,095 --> 00:08:48,760 proton, what is the resulting molecule? 125 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,050 Ion, basically. 126 00:08:51,050 --> 00:09:02,800 So part i we have HPO4, and that will dissociate to 127 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,820 hydrogen phosphate ion. 128 00:09:10,460 --> 00:09:11,260 Simple enough. 129 00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:14,910 This is your conjugate base. 130 00:09:14,910 --> 00:09:16,930 So that's your answer for part i. 131 00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:22,280 Moving to part ii. 132 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:32,010 We have CH3NH3 plus. 133 00:09:32,010 --> 00:09:36,810 So it's kind of like an ammonia ion but not quite-- 134 00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:38,390 sorry, ammonium. 135 00:09:38,390 --> 00:09:42,310 And we know that this dissociates by losing a 136 00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:46,440 hydrogen off of the nitrogen, because that's where the 137 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,576 positive charge is. 138 00:09:47,576 --> 00:09:50,490 It makes more sense there. 139 00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:52,990 And we get-- 140 00:09:52,990 --> 00:09:55,930 sorry, keeping the same order as above-- 141 00:09:55,930 --> 00:09:57,180 a proton plus. 142 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,850 And this would be your conjugate base. 143 00:10:07,850 --> 00:10:10,100 If you were a little bit confused on this one it might 144 00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,130 help to draw the Lewis structure, and you would see 145 00:10:12,130 --> 00:10:17,360 that the formal charge does actually reside on nitrogen 146 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,000 and, therefore, it makes sense that the nitrogen 147 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,380 would lose a proton. 148 00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:26,560 In addition, if you think about the ammonia/ammonium ion 149 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:31,600 relationship you know that you have NH3 going to NH4. 150 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,760 And in this case we just have one of the hydrogens replaced 151 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,050 with a methyl group, and so you can make the analogy there 152 00:10:39,050 --> 00:10:41,850 that, oh, the hydrogen would come from the 153 00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:44,190 nitrogen in that case. 154 00:10:44,190 --> 00:10:44,640 All right. 155 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,120 So hopefully this was pretty straightforward. 156 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,340 As long as you're comfortable with what a conjugate base is 157 00:10:51,340 --> 00:10:56,120 and what the dissociation reactions look like for acids. 158 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,150 So now on part c we are asked to classify each of the 159 00:11:00,150 --> 00:11:02,760 following as a Lewis acid or a Lewis base. 160 00:11:06,050 --> 00:11:09,062 Now first we need to remember what a Lewis acid and 161 00:11:09,062 --> 00:11:10,890 a Lewis base are. 162 00:11:10,890 --> 00:11:20,450 So if you remember from lecture or in your reading, we 163 00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:31,960 know that a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor and a 164 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,230 Lewis base is an electron-pair donor. 165 00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:43,780 These definitions are just a little more general than the 166 00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:46,420 classic proton acceptor or proton donor. 167 00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:55,220 The first part is asking us about the cyanide ion. 168 00:11:55,220 --> 00:12:01,380 And to kind of clarify it for yourself and because we're 169 00:12:01,380 --> 00:12:05,350 asked about Lewis acids and bases, which are to deal with 170 00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:08,440 electron pairs, it might be helpful to 171 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,480 draw the Lewis structure. 172 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,900 So for this molecule a good Lewis structure looks like 173 00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:22,310 this, and it has a net negative charge. 174 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:27,700 And you can see that we have a couple of lone electron pairs 175 00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:30,130 there that aren't involved in bonding. 176 00:12:30,130 --> 00:12:34,260 And because it has a net negative charge you can 177 00:12:34,260 --> 00:12:38,080 imagine that these electron pairs would want to kind of 178 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,170 grab onto something else that's a little bit more 179 00:12:40,170 --> 00:12:43,110 electron positive. 180 00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:46,390 And because of that we know that this is 181 00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:49,540 actually a Lewis base. 182 00:12:49,540 --> 00:12:53,230 It acts as a base and would grab something like a proton 183 00:12:53,230 --> 00:13:01,790 and thus become more, I don't know, stable in some cases. 184 00:13:01,790 --> 00:13:02,190 All right. 185 00:13:02,190 --> 00:13:04,540 Moving to part 2. 186 00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:08,120 We are asked about water, which is a molecule that we 187 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,200 deal a lot with in acid/base chemistry. 188 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880 Again, you might be able to answer this right off the bat, 189 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,910 but we're going to look at the Lewis structure here. 190 00:13:19,910 --> 00:13:22,580 Water has two lone pairs. 191 00:13:22,580 --> 00:13:28,560 So that means it could very well act as a Lewis base. 192 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:29,850 Hopefully that makes a little bit of sense. 193 00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:30,130 Right? 194 00:13:30,130 --> 00:13:34,200 Because these electrons can go and grab something like a 195 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:42,140 proton and form the hydronium ion with a positive charge, 196 00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:44,950 thus acting as a Lewis base. 197 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:54,260 It's important to remember that even though we're 198 00:13:54,260 --> 00:13:58,210 creating an acid in the hydronium ion, this water 199 00:13:58,210 --> 00:14:04,400 molecule in converting to the acid acts as a Lewis base. 200 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,630 However, we also know that water can lose a hydrogen and 201 00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:22,700 accepts those electrons to form the hydroxide ion, and 202 00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:27,040 thus acts as a Lewis acid. 203 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,780 So in the case of water either Lewis acid or Lewis base was a 204 00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:35,580 correct answer in this case. 205 00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:39,300 Now moving on to part d. 206 00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:42,700 We will go over here, I think. 207 00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:43,300 I'm sorry. 208 00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,550 d, not b. 209 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:51,660 Again, it's going to be about acids and bases. 210 00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:55,320 Consider the effect each of the following substances has 211 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,510 on the ionization of the weak base ammonia. 212 00:14:58,510 --> 00:15:02,620 For each state whether the substance, one, suppresses 213 00:15:02,620 --> 00:15:07,110 ionization, two, enhances ionization, or, three, has no 214 00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:09,550 effect on the ionization of ammonia. 215 00:15:09,550 --> 00:15:14,040 In each instance give a reason for your choice. 216 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,290 Going back to the first part of this question we see that 217 00:15:17,290 --> 00:15:21,170 it's asking us about the ionization of ammonia. 218 00:15:21,170 --> 00:15:23,370 A good place to start from here would be to write down 219 00:15:23,370 --> 00:15:26,870 the reaction, just so we have that on our paper, in our 220 00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:29,580 mind, ready to think about it. 221 00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:33,460 So we have ammonia-- 222 00:15:33,460 --> 00:15:39,910 and aqueous means that it's in water, right? 223 00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:43,260 And that is reacting with water to form 224 00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:45,260 the ammonium ion-- 225 00:15:45,260 --> 00:15:46,740 sorry-- 226 00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:54,530 by adding a proton and a hydroxide ion. 227 00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:54,710 OK. 228 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:57,440 So this is the reaction we're asked about. 229 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,360 Now we need to look at each of the three substances listed 230 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,510 and decide how it affects this ionization. 231 00:16:05,510 --> 00:16:10,020 So number i, we have KOH. 232 00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:16,860 Again, a good place to start is to write what happens to 233 00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:21,050 potassium hydroxide when it goes into water. 234 00:16:21,050 --> 00:16:24,600 And we know that KOH is a strong base and will 235 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,700 dissociate into potassium plus hydroxide. 236 00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:37,110 So we see that it produces hydroxide. 237 00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:41,430 And this should indicate to you that, well, it has the 238 00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:43,640 same product as one of the products of the 239 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,320 ionization of ammonia. 240 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,240 And if we remember back a little bit before this 241 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,120 section, we know that if you have the same ion in solution 242 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:59,330 it will definitely affect the solubility, or ionization. 243 00:16:59,330 --> 00:17:03,330 So that's one way to think about it, is that I now have a 244 00:17:03,330 --> 00:17:16,510 common ion effect that will, because there's more hydroxide 245 00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:21,050 in solution now, it will push this reaction, this 246 00:17:21,050 --> 00:17:23,850 equilibrium, back to the left. 247 00:17:23,850 --> 00:17:25,790 Another way to think about that is 248 00:17:25,790 --> 00:17:27,040 Le Chatelier's Principle. 249 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,830 Kind of the same thing, although it's a little bit 250 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:43,280 more versatile, I think, so pretty easy to think about. 251 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:43,650 Right? 252 00:17:43,650 --> 00:17:47,060 If you add a product your reaction will 253 00:17:47,060 --> 00:17:47,940 shift to the left. 254 00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:52,050 If you add a reactant your reaction will 255 00:17:52,050 --> 00:17:53,750 shift to the right. 256 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:56,360 So here we're adding a product, our reaction will 257 00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:57,710 shift to the left. 258 00:17:57,710 --> 00:18:03,550 Same as a common ion effect, these two combine to decrease, 259 00:18:03,550 --> 00:18:08,780 or both suggest that we will decrease, ionization. 260 00:18:16,050 --> 00:18:19,510 Moving to the second part of this problem. 261 00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:25,430 We're asked about hydrogen chloride. 262 00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:28,970 Again, let's look at what that does in water. 263 00:18:28,970 --> 00:18:34,090 We know that it's a strong acid, so it will dissociate 264 00:18:34,090 --> 00:18:40,850 into hydrogen, or protons, and chloride. 265 00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:43,070 Now this one's a little bit trickier because we don't have 266 00:18:43,070 --> 00:18:48,390 either of these ions in our initial ionization reaction, 267 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:52,070 but if we think about the fact that ammonia is a weak base we 268 00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:55,940 can write an additional ionization reaction. 269 00:18:55,940 --> 00:19:07,390 So that additional would be ammonia reacting with a proton 270 00:19:07,390 --> 00:19:09,400 to form ammonium. 271 00:19:12,090 --> 00:19:12,460 Right? 272 00:19:12,460 --> 00:19:18,110 So this is another way that the ammonia 273 00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:20,390 molecule would be ionized. 274 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:27,160 And we can see that if we add protons from this acidic 275 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,800 molecule there we will increase the ionization, 276 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:37,040 because it will allow the ammonia to work more as a base 277 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,900 because of this reaction here. 278 00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:46,505 So we are increasing ionization. 279 00:19:51,460 --> 00:19:55,020 Another way to think about this is completely valid and 280 00:19:55,020 --> 00:20:01,350 kind of the same thing, but if we look at this ionization 281 00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:04,010 reaction here where the hydrogen chloride is 282 00:20:04,010 --> 00:20:07,320 dissociating into protons and chlorides we can recognize 283 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:13,960 that these protons will then react with the hydroxide that 284 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,980 is produced in the initial ionization reaction. 285 00:20:17,980 --> 00:20:21,500 This will result in a decrease of hydroxide 286 00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,280 in solution, right? 287 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,040 And so by Le Chatelier's Principle we know that a 288 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,560 decrease in a product causes the reaction to shift towards 289 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,645 the product, to make more hydroxide. 290 00:20:32,645 --> 00:20:34,750 So that's just another way of thinking about the same 291 00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:39,510 process, and it results in the same conclusion that addition 292 00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:45,300 of hydrogen chloride increases the ionization of ammonia. 293 00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:45,600 OK. 294 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,850 Moving to part iii. 295 00:20:50,080 --> 00:21:04,560 We have ammonium chloride, and this will dissociate into 296 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,210 ammonium and chloride. 297 00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:11,360 And even if you're not sure how much it will dissociate, 298 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,160 it will still dissociate to some amount. 299 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:20,210 So it will have at least a little bit of an effect on our 300 00:21:20,210 --> 00:21:22,890 initial ionization reaction. 301 00:21:22,890 --> 00:21:28,200 So here we see the dissociation produces ammonium 302 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,690 ions, and just like the first case that is one of the 303 00:21:31,690 --> 00:21:34,840 products in our ionization reaction. 304 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,590 And so Le Chatelier's Principle, common ion effect, 305 00:21:38,590 --> 00:21:42,575 whatever you want to call it, tells us that it will shift 306 00:21:42,575 --> 00:21:57,030 the equilibrium to the left and decrease ionization. 307 00:21:57,030 --> 00:22:00,720 So with that we're done with problem 10 from the final. 308 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,980 It had a lot to do with acid/bases, so hopefully you 309 00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:05,900 feel more comfortable with them after this.
