Ionic Equilibrium

IONIC EQUILIBRIUM 1. SALT A substance which ionizes in water to produce ions other than H+ and OH– is called a salt. Types of Salts: Neutral Salts : Those salts whose aqueous solutions neither turn blue litmus red nor red litmus blue are called neutral salts. These are prepared by the neutralization of strong acid and strong base. e.g. NaCl, K2SO4, KNO3 etc. Basic Salts : Those salts whose aqueous solution turn red litmus blue are called basic salts. These are formed by the neutralization of strong bases with weak acids. e.g. Na2CO3, CH3COONa Mixed salts : Salts formed by the neutralization of one acid by two bases or one base by two acids are called mixed salts. e.g. CaOCl2 Double Salts : Acompound of two salts whose aqueous solution shows the tests for all constituent ions is called double salt e.g. Mohr Salt FeSO4. (NH4)2 SO4. 6H2O PotashAlum K2SO4.Al2 (SO4)3. 24H2O. Complex Salts : Acompound whose solutions does not give test for the constituent ions is called a complex salt. e.g. K4 [Fe(CN)6] Li (AlH4)

2. IONIC DISSOCIATION The process in which molecules (acids, bases, and salts) when dissolved in water or when melted break into ions is called ionic dissociation. Electrolytes. Hence substances which dissociate into ions in aqueous solutions are called electrolytes. e.g. NaCl, NaNO3, HCl, K2SO4 etc. Strong Electrolyte And Weak Electrolyte and Non Electrolytes: Those electrolytes which dissociate almost completely into ions are known as strong electrolytes. e.g. HCl, HBr, HI, HClO4, NaCl, Na2SO4, KNO3 etc. Those electrolytes which dissociate partially are called weak electrolytes. e.g. H3PO4, HF, H2CO3,HCN, CH3COOH, NH4OH, etc. .Those electrolytes which do not dissociate into ions in aqueous solutions are called non electrolytes. Molecules of the substances which do not dissociate into ions in aqueous solutions are called non- electrolytes. e.g. sugar, urea, etc.

3. OSTWALD’S DILUTION LAW Ostwald’s pointed out that like chemicalequilibriuminionic equilibriumwe can applylawof mass action. An equilibriumbetweenionized and unionized molecules.

Limitation : This is only for weak electrolytes not for strong electrolytes. This law is not applicable for strong electrolyte because strong electrolytes are almost completelyionC ized at all dilution and hence  does not give accurate results.  Dissociation of Weak Acids and Bases : Dissociation of Weak acids : Consider the dissociation of a weak acid HAin water, represented by the equation – H3O + A HA + H2O C

This equation is referred to as Ostwald dilution law. In case of weak acids the degree of dissociation  is very small, therefore (1 – ) may be taken to be equal to unity Hence

Since Also as  =

This shows that decree of dissociation is inversely proportional to square root of concentration and directly proportional to square root of dilution of the solution.

4. STRENGTHS OF ACIDS AND BASES (i) (ii)

(iii) (iv)

The strength of an acid/base depend upon the number H+/OH– present in solution. Since  = V  K a or  = V  Kb   increases when V increase Ionization increases with dilution, hence number of H+ /OH– increases.  At infinite dilution the ionization of all acids and bases tends to become almost equal and all acids and bases behave equally strong at infinite dilution. All mineral acids or bases which ionize fully at all dilutions are considered as strong acids. While acids/bases like CH3COOH/NH4OH respectively which ionize to a less extent are called weak acids/bases. The relative strenths is generally compared in terms of their dissociation constants.

5. SELF IONIZATION OF WATER Water can behave both as an acid as well as a base. This behaviour of water is due to ionization ofwater to form protons and hydroxyl ions. H2O Hence K = 

K CH2O = CH+ COH– CH2O = Kw = CH+ COH– K Kw is the Ionic Product of water and may be defined as the product of concentration of ions [(H+) and (OH–)] ions. Its value depends only on temperature and is found to be 1 × 10–14 at 25ºC At Kw = 0.11 × 10–14 mol 2/lit 2 OºC Kw = 0.30 × 10–14 mol2/lit2 10ºC 25ºC Kw = 1 × 10–14 mol2 /lit2 –14 2 2 100ºC Kw = 7.5 × 10 mol /lit For pure water CH+ = COH– = 10 –7 mol/lit at 25ºC Degree of dissociation of pure water at 25ºC For pure water CH+ = COH–. Also at room temperature CH+ COH– = 10–14 mol2 /lit2  CH+ = 10–7 mol/lit  C = 10–7 mol/lit 107 107  = 1.8 × 10–9 C 55.6 Hence degree of dissociation = 1.8 × 10–9  % degree of dissociation = 1.8 × 10–7 =

6. HYDROGEN ION / HYDROXYL ION CONC. OF ACID/ BASE (i)

In case of strong acids (or bases) concentration in water solution is taken as equal to normality of the acid/base since they ionize completely. [H+] = Normality of acid = Molarity × Basicity [OH–] = Normality of base = Molarity × Acidity

7. pH SCALE : It may be defined in number of ways. (i) The pH value of a solution is equal to the negative power to which 10 must be raised in order to express [H+] concentration [H+] = 10–pH. (ii) It can also be defined as the negative logarithmof its [H+] ion concentrations pH = –log[H+] (iii) pH values do not give instantaneous idea above the relative strengths of the solution pH calculation of solution of a mixture of two weak Acids in water : Let two weak acids be HA and HB and their conc. are C1 and C2, 1 is the degree of dissociation of HA in presence of HB (due to common ion effect) and 2 be degree of dissociation of HB in presence of HA. In aqueous solution of HAand HB following equilibrium exists. conc. at eq.

After solving for 1 and 2. We can calculate the H+ conc. [H+] = C1 + C1 2 pH = – log [C1 + C1 2] pOH SCALE : It is defined as the negative logarithms of hydroxyl ions concentration. pOH = –log (OH–). Also it is known that [H+] [OH–] = 10–14 = Kw –log[H+] (+) –log[OH–] = 14 = pK w pH + pOH = pKw = 14.  The pH of a 0.05 M solution of H2SO4 in water is nearly? pH= – log10 H + The concentration of H+ ions is expressed in gm equivalent Molarity of H2SO4 = 0.05 Normality = 0.05 × 2 = 0.1  pH = –log 0.1  pH = 1 or Calculate the pH of solution having H+ ion concentration of 5 × 10–4 mole/litre [H+] ion concentration = 5 × 10–4 mole/litre pH = – log [5 × 10–4] = – (log 5 + log 10–4) = – 0.7 + 4 = 3.3

8. COMMON ION EFFECT When a solution of weak electrolyte is mixed with another electrolyte which provides one or more ion common with the weak electrolyte the dissociation of weak electrolyte is suppressed. This suppression of dissociation of weak electrolyte on addition of a common ion is called common ion effect. For example if we consider dissociation of CH3COOH in the presence of CH3COONa we get following situation : – + CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COO + H CH3COONa CH3COO– + Na + In this case the CH3COO– ion contributed by CH3COONa suppresses the dissociation of CH3COOH. This suppression of dissociation of CH3COOH is called common ion effect.

9. BUFFER SOLUTIONS A buffer is a solution which resists any change in its pH value on either (a) dilution or (b) addition of acid/base. The process by which the added H+/OH– are removed to maintain the pH of solution, is known as buffer action. Types of Buffer : 1. Simple buffers : Asalt of weak acid and weak base in water e.g. (a) NH4CN or CH3COONH4. (b) Proteins and amino acids. (c) Amixture of an acid salt and normal salt of a poly basic acid e.g. NaHCO3 + Na2CO3 Na2 HPO4 + Na3PO4.

Mixed Buffer : These are of two types (a) Acid Buffer Solution : An acidic buffer solution of a weak acid and its salt with strong base. e.g. CH 3COOH + CH3COONa – + CH3COOH CH3COO + H (Weakly ionized) – CH3COO + Na+ (Highly ionized) CH3COONa The sodium acetate, being a salt ionizes completely to form CH3COO– and Na+ ion. But acetic acid being a weak acid is ionized to a less extent.Also its ionizations is further suppressed by the acetate ion from sodium acetate. Let C moles/litre be the concentration of CH3COOH taken and C1 be the concentration of CH3COONa. The degree of dissociation of CH3COOH is 𝛼 in the presence of sodium acetate Initial conc. (mol/lit.) C 0 0 – CH3COOH H+ CH3COO + ⇌ C Final conc. (mol/lit.) (C – C) C Initial conc.(mol/lit.)

This equation is called Henderson’s Equation.

10. BUFFER ACTION : When a few drops of acid is added then the H+ ions from the acid combines with excess of CH3COO– ions to form CH3COOH. Hence there is no rise in [H+ ] ion concentrations but due to the consumptions – – of CH3COO the concentration of CH3COO decreases and the concentration of CH3COOH increases hence the ratio of

[Salt] [Acid]

decreases slightly. Thus the pH change is minimal, meaning the solution has

resisted the change in pH. In other wards one can saythat the pH change which is very minimal is not due to change in the concentration of [H+] but due to change in buffer capacity of solution. On the other hand when NaOH is added, the [OH–] ions of the base reacts with the unionized CH3COOH to form acetate ion and water. OH– + CH3COOH  CH3COO– + H 2O Ex.6 Sol.

NH4OH and thus the concentration of [OH ] remains unchanged. But the ratio of [NH OH] changes. 4 Thus the change in pH is very small and that too due to change in buffer capacity. On the other hand when a few drops of acid (Say HCl) is added, then the [H+] ions of acid combine with excess of NH4OH to form H2O and NH4+ ions. i.e. NH4OH + H+ NH4+ + H2O. + Thus the addition of acid does not increase the H ions but since the concentration of NH4 OH decreases [NH  ]

Buffer Capacity : It is defined as the number of moles of the acid/base added to the buffer solution to produce a change in pH by one unit. Buffer Capacity =

number of moles of acid/base added change in pH

In general Buffer Capacity would be maximum when both components are present in equimolar proportions. Agiven acid must have a pH ranging between pKa + 1 to pKa – 1 if it is to be used in buffer solution. The best buffer will have the acid with pH = pKa. Ex.8 Sol.

11. SOLUBILITY It is the amount of the solute in gram that can be dissolved in 100 gm of a solvent to obtain a saturated solutions at a particular temperature. However solubility can also be expressed in moles/litre. Solubility in gm/lit.

Solubility of solution in moles/litre = Molecular weight of solute The factors affecting solubility are. (a) Nature of solvent (b) Nature of solute (c) Temperature (d) Pressure

Ionic Equilibrium

Solubility Product : If a sparingly soluble salt is added in water, very little amount of it dissolves in water, and thus solution becomes saturated, but a highly soluble salt saturation is reached on dissolving more of salt. For all salts at saturation an equilibrium is achieved between the undissolved salt and the ions insolutions. B+(aq) + + A– (aq)

BA(s) Applying law of mass action we get K=

[A – ] [B  ] [BA]

K[BA] = [B+] [A–]



Since only little of salt dissolves so the concentration of salt remains constant K[AB] = K × Constant = Ksp = [B+] [A–]  For any salt BxAy xBy+ (aq) + yAx–(aq) Ksp = [By+ ]x [Ax–] y Ksp = Kc This expression shows that in a saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt the ionic product is equal to the solubility product. Ksp = Solubility Product It is defined as the product of the molar concentrations of its ion raised to the power equal to its number of ions present at equilibrium representing the ionization of one molecule of salt at a given temperature. Points to Remember: When Ksp = Ki solution saturated (1) When Ki < Ksp unsaturated solution (2) (3) When Ki > Ksp super saturated solution. Hence precipitation occurs to keep Ki = Ksp Relationships Between Solubility and Solubility Product: (1) Let the solubility of a salt Bx Ay in water be s moles/lit. Thus at equilibrium BxAy xBy+ (aq) + yAx–(aq) At equilibrium xs mol/lit ys moles/lit. Ksp = [By+ ]x [Ax–] y  (xs)x (ys)y = Ksp = xxyy sx + y Hence for salts of type MA (AgCl, BaSO4, etc.) 

S2 = 0.01 = 100 KSP K sp = 20 KSP S = 3

So,

0.05

S2 > S1 > S3 Again solubility will be greatest in water. So, S0 > S2 > S1 > S3

12. HYDROLYSIS OF SALT : It is the process involving action of water on a salt to form a mixture of acid and alkali. The hydrolysis of a salt is reverse of neutrilization. Let there be a salt BA. The hydrolysis of such a salt can be represented as H2O + AB water salt

HA+ BOH acid base

[HA] [BOH]



K = [AB][H O] 2 

Kh =

[HA] [BOH] [AB]

K[H2O] =

[HA] [BOH] [AB]

where Kh = hydrolysis constant.

The hydrolysis constant is dependent on nature of acid or base which is formed as a result of hydrolysis. Degree of Hydrolysis : It is defined as the fraction of the total salt, which is hydrolysed at equilibrium. Anionic Hydrolysis : It is the Hydrolysis of salts of Weak acids and Strong Base e.g. CH3COONa, Na2CO3, K2CO3, KCN, Na2S etc. Let the salt hydrolysis be represented as BA + H2O (1)

BOH + HA B +A– BA SinceA– is a strong base is under hydrolysis according to the equation +

HA + OH–

A– + H 2O

This is called anionic hydrolysis Kh =

[HA] [OH – ] [A – ]

Multiplying and dividing RHS by H+ we get Kh =

     K w  [H  ][OH ], K a  [H ][A ]   [HA]   

[HA] [OH – ][H  ] K w  Ka [A – ][H  ]

Kw

Hence hydrolysis constant = Kh = K 

Kh  K i.e. hydrolysis constant varies inversely with dissociation constant of acid. a

13. DEGREE OF HYDROLYSIS : Let C moles/Lof salt be taken then C moles/Lof cation and anion will be formed respectively. BA C
