7.3 Role of water in determining the properties of acid and alkali:
a. Role of water in determining the properties of acids:i. Acids in the absence of water or in other solvents: - does not show acidic properties
- acids remain in the form of molecules - no free mobile hydrogen ions - no acidic properties
ii. In the presence of water :- Molecules in acids will ionise to produce hydrogen ions
HCl(aq) → H+ + Cl-
- The presence of hydrogen ions are the causes for the acidic properties shown.
b.c. Role of water in determining properties of alkali :

KOH K+ (aq) + OH-
(aq)
ii. In the absence of water or in organic solvents, no free and mobile hydroxide ions are produced, so the alkaline properties are not shown.
7.4 pH Concept
a. pH is a scale of numbers to measure the degree of acidity and alkalinity of an aqueous solution based on the concentration of hydrogen ions, H+ .
b. pH scale: 0-14:
pH value : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
More acidic Neutral More alkaline
7.4 Acid and alkali strength
a) The strength of acids and alkalis depends on the degree of ionisation or dissociation.
b) Strong acid : Acid which dissociates completely in water to produce hydrogen ions.
HCl → H + (aq) + Cl-(aq)
Weak acid : Acid which ionises / dissociates partially in water to produce hydrogen ions.
CH3 COOH CH3 COO- (aq) + H+ (aq)
Example:
4 HCl molecules in water 4 CH3 COOH molecules in water
Due to H+ concentration in hydrochloric acid is higher than in ethanoic acid, at the same concentration , the pH of the strong acid is lesser than the pH of the weak acid.
