Dissociation of Electrolytes
Salts dissociate into their respective cations and anions when dissolved in water.
NaCl(s)→ Na+(aq)+Cl−(aq)
Hydrated sodium (purple) and chloride (green) ions
The negative end of The positive end of the water dipole is the water dipole is attracted to the attracted to the positive Na ion.+positive Cl ion.−
When NaCl dissolves in water, each ion is surrounded by several water molecules.
The permanent dipoles in the water molecules cause specific alignment around the ions.
Electrolyte Ionization
Ionization: process of ion formation in solution. Ionization results from the chemical reaction between a compound and water.
Acids ionize in water, producing the hydronium ion (HO3 +) and a counter anion.
HCl(g) + H O2 (l) → H O3 + (aq)+Cl−(aq)
H PO3 4(aq) + H O 2 (l)€ H PO2 –4 (aq) + H O3 +(aq)
Bases ionize in water, producing the hydroxide ion (OH−) and a counter cation.
NH3(aq) + H O 2 (l)€ OH– (aq) + NH+4 (aq)
Strong and Weak Electrolytes (1 of 2)
Strong electrolytes: undergo complete ionization in water.
Example: HCl (strong acid)
Weak electrolytes: undergo incomplete ionization in water.
Example: CH3COOH (weak acid)
HCl (left) is 100% ionized.
CH3COOH exists primarily in the unionized form.

Autoionization of Water
Pure water auto(self) ionizes according to the reaction:
H O 2 (l)+ H O 2 (l)€ H O3 +(aq)+ OH–(aq) Based on the reaction stoichiometry:
Concentration H O = Concentration OH = 1 10 M3 + – –7
H O3 + OH−=(1 10 –7)2 = 1 10 –14 When acid or base is present in water, [H O3 +] and OH[ −] change.
In acidic solutions, H O3 + > OH–.
In basic solutions, H O3 + < OH–.

Titration
Titration: experiment where the volume of one reagent (titrant) required to react with a measured amount of another reagent is measured.
Titrations allow the amount of an acid or base present in a sample to be determined.
Indicators are used to signal the endpoint of a titration, the point when enough titrant is added to react with the acid/base present.
Burets deliver measured amounts of the titrant into a solution of the unknown reagent.

Acid Rain
Acid rain: atmospheric precipitation more acidic than typical.
General Process for Acid Rain Formation:
- Emission of nitrogen or sulfur oxides.
- Transportation of these chemicals throughout the atmosphere.
- Chemical reaction of the oxides with water. This forms sulfuric and nitric acids.
- Precipitation carries the acids to the ground.
