How Much Acid is Too Much? Target 7 -2

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is_____ �The p. H

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is_____ �The p. H of the oceans now is ____ �Rivers keep the ocean p. H stable by ______

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is 8. 1 -8.

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is 8. 1 -8. 2 �The p. H of the oceans now is ____ �Rivers keep the ocean p. H stable by ______

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is 8. 1 -8.

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is 8. 1 -8. 2 �The p. H of the oceans now is 8. 0 -8. 1 �Rivers keep the ocean p. H stable by ______

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is 8. 1 -8.

What We Know �The p. H of normal ocean water is 8. 1 -8. 2 �The p. H of the oceans now is 8. 0 -8. 1 �Rivers keep the ocean p. H stable by acting as a buffer

Recap �Acids are substances that increase the amount of H 3 O+ in a

Recap �Acids are substances that increase the amount of H 3 O+ in a sample

Recap �Weak Acids: �Dissociate partially (not completely) �Stay at equilibrium �Ex) C 2 H

Recap �Weak Acids: �Dissociate partially (not completely) �Stay at equilibrium �Ex) C 2 H 5 COOH + H 2 O <-> C 2 H 5 COO- + H 3 O+

Recap �When a weak acid dissociates, it creates its conjugate base �Ex) C 2

Recap �When a weak acid dissociates, it creates its conjugate base �Ex) C 2 H 5 COOH + H 2 O <-> C 2 H 5 COO- + H 3 O+

Recap �Conjugate Base: a molecule made when an acid loses its acidic hydrogen �Acts

Recap �Conjugate Base: a molecule made when an acid loses its acidic hydrogen �Acts like a very weak base �Is able to react with H+ to re-form the original acid

Buffers �A buffer solution is a solution containing a weak acid and its conjugate

Buffers �A buffer solution is a solution containing a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base/conj. acid �Solution is at equilibrium �Will react with a strong acid or strong base

Buffers �Remember that when acid is added to water, H 3 O+ ions are

Buffers �Remember that when acid is added to water, H 3 O+ ions are formed: �HCl H+ + Cl�H+ + H 2 O H 3 O+

Buffers �When acid is added to a buffer solution, those H+ ions react with

Buffers �When acid is added to a buffer solution, those H+ ions react with the weak base in the buffer before they react with the water �HCl H+ + Cl�H+ + H 2 O + Na. HCO 3 Na. H 2 CO 3 + H 2 O �The H 3 O+ ion doesn’t form, so the p. H changes less

Demo �We are going to add strong acid to water and to a buffer

Demo �We are going to add strong acid to water and to a buffer solution. �Record the p. H of each solution after each drop is added.

Reflect �What happened when we added acid to water? �What happened when we added

Reflect �What happened when we added acid to water? �What happened when we added acid to the buffer?

In the Ocean �Primary Ocean Buffer System: Na 2 CO 3 + H+ <->

In the Ocean �Primary Ocean Buffer System: Na 2 CO 3 + H+ <-> Na. HCO 3 �Na. CO 3 is formed when: �Carbonate ions (CO 32 -) from bedrock flow from rivers into the ocean �Carbonate reacts with sodium ions (Na+) from the salt in ocean water
