On dissolving in water, a weak base does not dissociate completely and the resulting aqueous solution contains OH- ion and the concerned basic radical in a small proportion along with a large proportion of undissociated molecules of the base. pH, Kb, and KwBases range from a pH of greater than 7 (7 is neutral, like pure water) to 14 (though some bases are greater than 14). pH has the formula: Since bases are proton acceptors, the base receives a hydrogen ion from water, H2O, and the remaining H+ concentration in the solution determines pH. Weak bases will have a higher H+ concentration because they are less completely protonated than stronger bases and, therefore, more hydrogen ions remain in the solution. If you plug in a higher H+ concentration into the formula, a low pH results. However, pH of bases is usually calculated using the OH− concentration to find the pOH first. This is done because the H+ concentration is not a part of the reaction, while the OH− concentration is. By multiplying a conjugate acid (such as NH4+) and a conjugate base (such as NH3) the following is given: Since then, By taking logarithms of both sides of the equation, the following is reached: Finally, multiplying throughout the equation by -1, the equation turns into: After acquiring pOH from the previous pOH formula, pH can be calculated using the formula pH = pKw - pOH where pKw = 14.00. Weak bases exist in chemical equilibrium much in the same way as weak acids do, with a base dissociation constant (Kb) indicating the strength of the base. For example, when ammonia is put in water, the following equilibrium is set up: Bases that have a large Kb will ionize more completely and are thus stronger bases. As stated above, pH of the solution depends on the H+ concentration, which is related to the OH− concentration by the self-ionization constant (Kw = 1.0x10−14). A strong base has a lower H+ concentration because they are fully protonated and less hydrogen ions remain in the solution. A lower H+ concentration also means a higher OH− concentration and therefore, a larger Kb. NaOH (s) (sodium hydroxide) is a stronger base than (CH3CH2)2NH (l) (diethylamine) which is a stronger base than NH3 (g) (ammonia). As the bases get weaker, the smaller the Kb values become.[1] Percentage protonatedAs seen above, the strength of a base depends primarily on pH. To help describe the strengths of weak bases, it is helpful to know the percentage protonated-the percentage of base molecules that have been protonated. A lower percentage will correspond with a lower pH because both numbers result from the amount of protonation. A weak base is less protonated, leading to a lower pH and a lower percentage protonated.[2] The typical proton transfer equilibrium appears as such: B represents the base. In this formula, [B]initial is the initial molar concentration of the base, assuming that no protonation has occurred. A typical pH problemCalculate the pH and percentage protonation of a .20 M aqueous solution of pyridine, C5H5N. The Kb for C5H5N is 1.8 x 10−9.[3] First, write the proton transfer equilibrium: The equilibrium table, with all concentrations in moles per liter, is
This means .0095% of the pyridine is in the protonated form of C5H5NH+. Examples
