Acid & Base 
Acids: 
acids are sour tasting 
Arrhenius acid: Any substance that, when dissolved in 
water, increases the concentration of hydronium ion 
(H3O+) 
Bronsted-Lowry acid: A proton donor 
Lewis acid: An electron acceptor 
Bases: 
bases are bitter tasting and slippery 
Arrhenius base: Any substance that, when dissolved in 
water, increases the concentration of hydroxide ion (OH-) 
Bronsted-Lowery base: A proton acceptor 
Lewis acid: An electron donor

Example 
STRONG vs WEAK 
_ completely ionized _ partially ionized 
_ strong electrolyte _ weak electrolyte 
_ ionic/very polar bonds _ some covalent bonds 
Strong Acids: Strong Bases: 
HClO4 LiOH 
H2SO4 NaOH 
HI KOH 
HBr Ca(OH)2 
HCl Sr(OH)2 
HNO3 Ba(OH)2
Titration 
Titration of a strong acid with a strong base 
ENDPOINT = POINT OF NEUTRALIZATION = 
EQUIVALENCE POINT 
At the end point for the titration of a strong acid 
with a strong base, the moles of acid (H+) equals the 
moles of base (OH-) to produce the neutral species 
water (H2O). If the mole ratio in the balanced 
chemical equation is 1:1 then the following 
equation can be used. 
MOLES OF ACID = MOLES OF BASE 
nacid = nbase 
Since M=n/V 
MAVA = MBVB
Acid-Base Indicators 
Finding the equivalence point of a titration 
Use a pH meter 
- Plot pH versus titrant volume 
- Center vertical region = equivalence point 
Use an Acid-Base Indicator 
- Acid-Base Indicator = molecule that changes color based on pH 
- Choose an indicator that changes color at the equivalence point 
- End Point = when the indicator changes color. If you have chosen the 
wrong indicator, the end point will be different than the eq. pt. 
- Indicators are often Weak Acids that lose a proton (causing the color 
change) when [OH-] reaches a certain concentration 
HIn + OH- In- + H2O
Technique Of 
Titration
TITRATION 
MAVA = MBVB 
Example: 
1.Suppose 75.00 mL of hydrochloric acid was required to 
neutralize 22.50 mLof 0.52 M NaOH. What is the 
molarity of the acid? 
HCl + NaOH  H2O + NaClMa Va = Mb Vb rearranges 
to Ma = Mb Vb / Va 
so Ma = (0.52 M) (22.50 mL) / (75.00 mL) 
= 0.16 M 
Now you try: 
2. If 37.12 mL of 0.843 M HNO3 neutralized 40.50 mL of 
KOH, what is the molarity of the base? 
Mb = 0.773 mol/L
