Slide 1
Chapter 9 Acids and Bases
Strengths of Acids and Bases
Making Dilutions
Slide 2
Strong acids completely ionize (100%) in aqueous solutions
HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl- (100 % ions)
Strong bases completely (100%) dissociate into ions in aqueous solutions.
NaOH Na+ (aq) + OH-(aq)
(100 % ions)
Slide 3
NH3, A Bronsted-Lowry Base
When NH3 reacts with water, most of the reactants remain dissolved as molecules, but a few NH3 reacts with water to form NH4+ and hydroxide ion.
NH3 + H2O NH4+(aq) + OH- (aq)
acceptor donor
+ +
Slide 4
Strong acids
HCl, HNO3 , H2SO4
Most other acids are weak.
Strong bases
NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)2
Most other bases are weak.

Di-gel: CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2
Gelusil: Al(OH)3 and Mg(OH)2
Maalox: Al(OH)3 and Mg(OH)2
Mylanta: Al(OH)3 and Mg(OH)2
Slide 8
More Antacids
Milk of Magnesia: Mg(OH)2
Rolaids: AlNa(OH)2CO3
aluminum sodium dihydroxy carbonate
Tums: CaCO3
Tempo: CaCO3, Al(OH)3, Mg(OH)2
Slide 9
Add water
Volume increases.
New concentration is less than initial
Slide 10
Concentration of A Diluted Solution
A 25 mL sample of a 6.0 M KOH is diluted by adding 75 mL of water. Calculate the new concentration of the KOH solution.
Moles KOH = 0.025 L x 6.0 moles = 0.15 moles
1 L
New volume = 25 mL + 75 mL = 100. mL = 0.100 L
