Acids are divided into two categories based on the ease with which they can donate protons to the solvent: i) strong acids and ii) weak acids
Strong acids are acids that completely dissociate in water. The reaction of an acid with its solvent (typically H2O) is called an acid dissociation reaction.
Weak acids are acids that dissociate partially in water. The extent of dissociation is given by the equilibrium constant.
Note:
A measure of the relative strength of an acid is: i) the equilibrium constant ka of the dissociation reaction of the acid in water (depends on temperature) ii) the degree of dissociation α of the acid in water (depends on the concentration of the acid an on temperature).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. Acid base theories Arrhenius Theory Brönsted – Lowry Theory Lewis acid – base Theory
3. Acid Base behaviour In this unit when ever we discuss acids and bases we study the behaviour of compounds when dissolved in water The solvent is all the time Water
4. Arrhenius Theory Acid- any substance that increases the hydronium (H3O+) ion concentration in neutral water. (or H+ ions for simplicity) Base - any substance that increases the hydroxide (OH-) ion concentration in neutral water. The following pages shows some examples of acids and bases
5. Strong Acids = Ka is very large Perchloric acid HClO4 Hydroiodic acid HI Hydrobromic acid HBr Sulfuric acid H2SO4 Hydrochloric acid HCl Nitric acid HNO3 Memorise these examples
6. Weak Acid = Ka is very small at 25oC Sulfurous acid H2SO3 Ka = 1.2 x 10 -2 Hydrogen sulphate ion HSO4- Ka = 1.0 x 10-2 Phosphoric acid H3PO4 Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 Citric acid H3C6H5O7 Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 Nitrous acid HNO2 Ka = 7.1 x 10-4 Hydrofluoric acid HF Ka = 6.8 x 10-4 Formic Acid HCO2H Ka = 1.8 x 10-4
7. Weak Acids continued at 25oC Acetic acid HC2H3O3 Ka = 1.8 x 10-5 Carbonic acid H2CO3 Ka = 4.5 x 10-7 Hydrogen cyanide HCN Ka = 6.2 x 10-10 Ammonium ion NH4+ Ka = 5.7 x 10-10 Bicarbonate ion HCO3- Ka = 4.7 x 10-11 Water H2O Ka = 1.8 x 10-16
9. Kw and pH Water is weakly dissociated and the equilibrium can be shown like this H2O + H2O = H3O+ + OH H2O = H+ + OH- Kw = [H+][OH-] Kw = 10-14 at 250C for water H2O = H++ OH- -x +x +x Kw = x2 x = = 10-7
11. Brönsted Lowry Theory An acid is a proton donor A base is a proto acceptor An amphoteric substance is one that can act both as an acid and a base. Amphoteric substances are proton acceptors or donors eg. H2O, HCO3-, etc.
12. Brönsted acids bases examples NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH- base acid conjugate conjugate acid base HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl-acid base conjugate conjugate acid base
13. Ka – Dissociation constant of an acid The equilibrium constant for the dissociation for a weak acid that is an equilibrium mixture Eg. HA + H2O H3O+ + A-
14. Kb = Dissociation constant of a base NH3(aq) + H2O NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) CO32-(aq) + H2O HCO3-(aq) + OH-(aq) B (aq) + H2O BH+(aq) + OH- (aq)
15. pKa and pKb These expressions are analogous to the expression for pH. We derived it to express the concentrations in a more convenient way using whole numbers. pKa = -log Ka pKb = -log Kb Smaller value of pKa , stronger the acid Smaller value of pKb , stronger the base.
16. Ka and Kb for Conjugate acid – base pair For a conjugate acid base pair this is applicable. Ka x Kb = Kw HA H+ + A- A- + H2O HA + OH-
19. Calculations involving Ka Calculate the value of Ka for a specific acid from the [H+] or pH of a solution for which we also know the initial concentration of the acid Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of H+ and A- from the initial concentration of a specific weak acid and its Ka value
20. Calculations involving Kb Calculate the value of Ka for a specific acid from the [OH-] or pOH of a solution for which we also know the initial concentration of the base or from pH as pOH = 14 - pH Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of [H+ ]or [OH-]from the initial concentration of a specific weak base and its Kb value (Or what is almost the same is calculating the pH or pOH from the values of Kb and initial concentration of base)
21. Hydrolysis of Ions There are many ionic salt’s that make the aqueous solution acidic or basic. The reaction of ionic salts with water is called “Hydrolysis of salts” Hydrolysis can be explained using Brönsted Lowry theory. If the conjugate acid or base is strong then there will be hydrolysis. Weak acids and bases produce strong conjugate bases and acids
22. Illustration of Hydrolysis A- is a strong conjugate base A-(aq)+ H2O = HA(aq) + OH- The dissociation constant for the hydrolysis in this case is Kb as one of the products is a base.
23. Hydrolysis of strong conjugate acid NH4+ + H2O = H3O+ + NH3 NH4+ is a strong conjugate acid therefore undergoes hydrolysis and the solution becomes more acidic or pH is lowered. Other positive metal ions that can undergo hydrolysis is Fe3+, Al3+ etc. ………………
26. Polyprotic acid For any diprotic acid the value of Ka1 > Ka2 It is easier to pull a H+ from a neutral molecule than an ion Ka1 is usually 104 to 105 times larger than Ka2. Therefore the contribution of acidity due to the second or third proton is negligible and can be ignored.
27. Calculating Ka from pH #1 Formic acid HCHO2 is a monoprotic acid. In a 0.100 M solution of formic acid, the pH is 2.38 at 25oC. Calculate Ka for formic acid at this temperature. Ans: Ka = 1.8x10-4
28. #1 Determine the [H+] ion concentration from pH Make Ice table sand substitute the concentration of H+ in the table and complete it to get the equilibrium concentration of HA, H+ and A- Use the values to determine the Ka for the acid.
29. Calculating [H+], pH from Ka for weak acid #2 The concentration of vinegar HC2H3O2 was found to be 0.75 M acetic acid, Calculate the value for the [H+] ion concentration and pH for this acid solution if Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5
30. #2 Create an ice table initial concentration is 0.75 M for acetic acid. Change in concentration is –x,x and x respectively for HA, H+ and A- Since Ka is very small 0.75 –x can be taken as 0.75 and solve for x. X is the concentration of H+ use this value to calculate pH
Editor's Notes
Explain what hydronium ion is.
If HA is a weak acid then A- is a strong conjugate base and it will undergo hydrolysis this will make the solution more basic as OH- ions are produced.
