History of Acids and Alkalies

A
…a Brief History
The only acid know to the ancient Egyptians,
Greeks, and Romans was______? It was made by
air oxidation of fermented fruit juice (wine)
Among the alkalies known to the ancients were
potash (potassium carbonate) obtained from____,
soda (sodium carbonate) made by evaporation of
alkaline waters, and lime (calcium oxide) made by
roasting________. Caustic potash and caustic soda
(potassium and sodium hydroxides) were made by
the action of lime on soda and potash.

A
…a Brief History
Later, during the middle ages, the alchemists
learned to make aqua frotis (nitric acid),
aqua regia (a nitric-hydrochloric acid
mixture), and oil of vitriol (sulfuric acid).
A
…Glauber
Mid-1600's Johann Rudolph Glauber
2 NaCl + H2SO4  2 HCl + Glauber’s salt (Na2SO4)
Acid + base = salt + water
KOH + HNO3  KNO3 + H2O
“Liquor fixus (KOH or K2CO3 solution) and spiritus acidus
nitri (HNO3) are in their nature…totally unlike, foes and
adversaries of each other…and when the two are brought
together…and the one part has overcome and killed the
other, neither a fiery liquor nor a spiritus acidus can be
found in their dead bodies, but the same has been made, as
both were before and from which they were derived
namely ordinary saltpeter (KNO3).”
M
… All Acids and Alkali Theory
Otto Tachenius and Francois Sylvius tried to
simplify the chemistry of life processes by
reducing all chemical interactions within the
living organism to acid-base reactions.
What evidence can you think of to support or
discredit the theory of Tachenius and
Sylvius?
M
… Boyle
Boyle (1663) noted that acids, in addition to their
sour taste, had exceptional solvent power, the
ability to color certain blue vegetable dyes red,
and a precipitating action on dissolved sulfur.
Alkalies, on the other hand, had a slippery feel and
detergent properties, the ability to dissolve oils
and sulfur, and the capacity to counteract acids
and destroy their properties. Boyle's tests showed
that some substances were neutral and did not
classify either as acids or alkalies."
M
… Lemery
Nicholas Lemery (1675) described acids as having
sharp spiky atoms, which produced a pricking
sensation on the skin, and alkalies as being made
up of round particles, which made them feel
slippery or soapy.
When acids and bases were mixed, he pictured the
sharp needles of the acids as penetrating the
porous alkali globules, thus producing salts, which
were neither stinging nor slippery to the touch.
M
Acids: Oxygen or Hydrogen?
Antoine Lavoisier named the gaseous element
oxygen in 1777. When sulfur or phosphorus was
burned in oxygen, the products dissolved in water
to form acids, so he concluded that oxygen was
the element common to all acid materials.
Claude Louis Berthollet (1789) showed that prussic
acid (HCN) did not contain oxygen
Humphry Davy proved Lavoisier's error more
convincingly with muriatic acid (HCl), a very
strong acid.
M
Dualistic Theory
Following the development of the battery by Alessandro
Volta (1800), chemists began to use this new device to
decompose all kinds of substances. Jons Jacob
Berzelius and William Hisinger (1803) found that
when salt solutions were subjected to electrolysis,
bases were found at the negative pole and acids at the
positive pole. They interpreted this to mean that acids
and bases must carry opposite electrical charges.
Berzelius concluded that acid-base reactions were simply
the result of electrical attractions. His dualistic theory
(1812) explained all chemical interactions in terms of
neutralization of opposite electrical charges
M
Arrhenius Model
(PhD describing this work received lowest possible rating from his University)
Svante August Arrhenius, during his study of electrochemistry, observed that solutions of salts, acids, and bases
were the only liquids that would conduct an electric
current. He suggested (1884) that when these compounds
dissolved in water they dissociated into charged particles,
which he called "ions."
According to the Arrhenius theory acids are compounds that
produce hydrogen ions in water solution: HCl H+ + Cland bases are substances that provide hydroxide ions in
water solution: NaOH  Na+ + OH-

Edward Franklin (1905) :
NH4Cl + NaNH2  NaCl + 2 NH3
Thomas Martin Lowry in England and
Johannes Nicholas Bronsted in Denmark
(1923) independently arrived at a more
inclusive definition of the neutralization
reaction as the transfer of a hydrogen ion
(a proton) from an acid to a base.

How do you measure base [OH-]?
M
Water undergoes an equilibrium process called autoionization.
2 H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
• Write out the expression for the equilibrium constant (Kw)
of this reaction.
• In water, the [H3O+] and [OH-] ions are always in
equilibrium with water having an equilibrium constant
(Kw) of 1x10-14
• In pure water [H3O+] = [OH-] = 1x10-7 M. What about the
pH?
M
pOH
pOH = - log[OH-]
Remember that a low pH corresponds to a high
concentration of H3O+ (acidic) solution. Therefore,
a low pOH corresponds to a high concentration of
OH- (basic) solution.
Kw =
[H3O+]*[OH-] = 1 x10-14
-log ([H3O+]*[OH-]) = - log (1 x10-14)
-log [H3O+] - log[OH-] = 14
pH + pOH = 14
