Johann Baptista van Helmont

a Belgian physician who had a noted interest in medical chemistry and believed that if he could better understand chemistry, he would better understand the causes of disease

pH indicator

atmospheric particles that enter the lungs where they can stick or exchange harmful components that damage lung tissue

galvanic electrochemical cell

composed of two half cells, each involving an electrode, in contact with a solution containing metal ions

acids

compounds that form hydrogen ions when dissolved in water

neutral salt

dissolving sodium chloride in water; sodium and chloride ions are produced. neither reacts appreciably with water in an acid-base hydrolysis reaction, so the pH = 7, and hence it's a neutral solution: Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2O (l) >> no reaction neutral salts are formed from the cation of a strong base and the anion of a strong acid

acidic salt

dissolving solid ammonium chloride in water; ammonium and chloride ions are formed. the ammonium ion donates a proton to water, forming the hydronium ion: NH4+ (aq) + H2O (l) >> NH3 (aq) + H3O+ (aq) 1. the conjugate base produced, ammonia, is a weak base that don'ts ionize to any great extent. since the ammonium ion has donated a proton to water, it has behaved as an acid. 2. the solution will have a pH < 7 as a result of the hydronium ions produced 3. the chloride ions are spectators. 4. in general, cations of weak bases will form acidic salts

basic salt

dissolving solid sodium acetate in water; sodium and acetate ions are formed. the acetate ion (an anion) accepts a proton from water, forming excess hydroxide ion: CH3COO- (aq) + H2O (l) >> CH3COOH (aq) + OH- (aq) 1. the conjugate acid produced, acetic acid, is a weak acid that doesn't ionize to a great extent. since the acetate ion has accepted a proton, it has behaved as a base. 2. the solution will have a pH > 7 as a result of the hydroxide ions produced. the sodium ions are "spectators" 3. in general, anions of weak acids will form basic salts

how can we tell if a reaction is spontaneous based on the voltage?

1. he heated mercury calx, causing it to decompose into mercury and a gas. 2. he noted that the combined masses of the mercury and the gas were the same as the original mass of the calx prior to burning 3. he conducted a reverse experiment in which he heated the mercury and the gas and found that it yielded mercury calx of the same mass. it was significant that the total mass remained constant because that conclusion countered the notion that the substance was releasing phlogiston

how did Antoine Lavoisier develop a scientific explanation for combustion that refuted phlogiston theory?

1. in an experiment, he heated mercury in a specific volume of air to create mercury calx and observe that this decreased the volume of the air 2. he then put a lit candle into the container of air and saw that the candle's flame was extinguished. this indicated to him that the gas that had been mixed with the mercury was required for combustion. 3. this gas was called oxygen and referred to metal calves as metal oxides

how did Lavoisier explore that idea that when metals formed a calx, they combined with a gas that was in the surrounding air?

he established that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, as was made clear by the fact that the mass of the reactants was equal to the mass of the products in his experiments with mercury calc.

how did Lavoisier's experiments lead to the principle of conservation of mass?

if the cation reacts significantly with water to form the conjugate base and H+

how do we know a solution is acidic from hydrolysis?

if the results in the anion of the salt reacting with water produces the conjugate acid of the anion and the hydroxide ion

how do we know a solution is basic from hydrolysis?

if neither ion reacts significantly or if both react equally

how do we know if a solution is natural based on hydrolysis?

1. at low pH, OH- concentration is low and increases as the pH increases 2. as OH- increases further, it reacts with the metal hydroxide to form a soluble oxide ion

how does the precipitation of metal hydroxide depend on the concentration of OH-?

1. a given amount of acid with an unknown molarity is placed into a flask, and a solution of a base of unknown molarity is added by using a buret 2. the acid is in the flask, and the base is in the buret

how does titration work?

1. he created a more coherent picture of what the "rules" of chemistry are and made numerous influential findings that have held true over the course of time 2. he discovered that air is composed primarily of oxygen and nitrogen; that water can't be converted into Earth; and that matter is conserved in chemical and physical interactions 3. he began to systemize the naming of chemical compounds, and his system of chemical nomenclature continues to be used by scientists in the present day

how is Lavoisier the "father of modern chemistry"?

it enters the environment as metallic mercury emitted into the atmosphere from fossil fuel power plants and enters lakes and soils as waste from the use of mercury in electrolytic cells fro the production of chemicals, such as chlorine

how is mercury the most well-known containment?

1. unless nutrients dissolve, they're unavailable to plants, and so farmers must add acidic or basic substances to their soils to optimize the dissolution of nutrients 2. in some regions acid rain is responsible for lowering soil pH. this must be balanced by the addition of basic chemicals to neutralize the effects of the acid rain 3. efforts to adjust soil pH may inhibit efforts to remove toxic contaminants that have been added to the environment by increasing their solubility

how is the control of soil pH an example of how precipitation has significant environmental ramifications?

it can either be an acid or a base

how is water amphoteric?

when acetic acid is added to water to make vinegar, the reaction that occurs is: HC2H3O2 + H2O >> H3O+ + C2H3O2- the acetic acid has transferred an H+ to water and is acting as an acid in solution. the water has acted as a base by accepting the H+ and forming a negative acetate ion. the excess of H3O+ ions make the solution acidic

in other situations, how can water behave as a base by accepting a hydrogen ion and forming H3O+ (hydronium ion)?

what happens in a precipitation reaction?

pH = -log[H3O+], where the square brackets indicate concentration in the units of molarity. chemists usually abbreviate [H3O+] to simply [H+]

what is the equation for pH?

1. an acid is defined as any reactant that donates an H+ in a reaction, and a base is defined as any H+ acceptor in the reaction 2. this could explain the behavior of NH3, in water. in the reaction NH3 + H2O >> NH4+ + OH-, the water donates an H+ to the ammonia, making water an acid and ammonia a base. Ammonia becomes a positive ammonium ion, and the other product is OH-. the solution has an excess of OH- ions and thus is basic 3. it also explains all Arrhenius acids and bases

what theory did Danish chemist Johannes Bronsted and British chemist Thomas Martin Lowry propose about acids and bases?

1. acids break apart in water to yield hydrogen ion and that bases break apart in water to yield hydroxide ions 2. the theory was incomplete because it couldn't explain why, for example, tests would show that ammonia solution was basic despite the fact that ammonia doesn't contain hydroxide

what theory did Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius propose concerning acids and bases?

1. before digital cell phone cameras became so widely used, an enormous number of photographs were processed 2. almost all of these involved the use of silver halide salts. after the exposure and development of the image, which consisted of silver metal on paper or plastic, excess silver had to be removed in a process called fixing 3. large amounts of silver in the waste solutions were then completed with the chemical sodium thiosulfate 4. the silver could be precipitated as metallic silver by adding iron (steel wool) or as silver chloride by adding chloride ion 5. the silver could be melted into ingots, or the chloride could be dissolved in nitric acid, and the silver could be electrolytically plated
