Formula: Degree of Dissociation

\[\alpha=\frac{\text{number of moles dissociated}}{\text{total number of moles}}\]

Percent dissociation:

% dissociation = α × 100

Maharashtra State Board: Class 12

Formula: Acid Dissociation Constant

\[K_a=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}\]

For weak acid:

\[K_a=\frac{\alpha^2c}{1-\alpha}\]

If α is very small:

\[K_a=\alpha^2c\]

\[\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{K_a}{c}}\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 12

Formula: Base Dissociation Constant

\[K_b=\frac{[B^+][OH^-]}{[BOH]}\]

For weak base:

\[K_b=\frac{\alpha^2c}{1-\alpha}\]

If α is small:

\[K_b=\alpha^2c\]

\[\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{K_b}{c}}\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 12

Formula: Ionic Product of Water

Kw= [H3O+][OH]

At 298 K:

Kw = 1.0×10−14

Maharashtra State Board: Class 12

Formula: pH and pOH

pOH = −log⁡[OH]

Relationship:

pH + pOH = 14

Theory: Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases

According to Arrhenius theory, acids and bases are defined on the basis of ion formation in aqueous solution.

  • An acid is a substance which produces H⁺ ions in aqueous solution.
  • A base is a substance which produces OH⁻ ions in aqueous solution.
  • This theory explains the acidic and basic nature only in aqueous medium.

Example of acid:

\[\mathrm{H}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{l}(\mathrm{a}\mathrm{q})\xrightarrow{water}\mathrm{H}^+(\mathrm{a}\mathrm{q})+\mathrm{C}\mathrm{l}^-(\mathrm{a}\mathrm{q})\]

Example of base:

NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Theory: Bronsted–Lowry Theory

Bronsted and Lowry proposed a more general theory based on proton transfer.

  • An acid is a substance that donates a proton (H⁺).
  • A base is a substance that accepts a proton (H⁺).
  • Acid-base reactions involve transfer of proton from acid to base.

Example reaction:

HCl + NH₃ ⇌ NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

A pair of acid and base differing by a proton is called a conjugate acid–base pair.

Law: Ostwald’s Dilution Law

Ostwald expressed the quantitative relationship between concentration and degree of dissociation of weak electrolytes.

It applies only to weak electrolytes.

The degree of dissociation increases on dilution.

For weak acid HA:

HA ⇌ H+ + A

The dissociation constant is:

\[K_a=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}\]

For small α:

\[K_a=\alpha^2c\quad\mathrm{and}\quad\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{K_a}{c}}\]
