The self-ionization of water (also autoionization of water, and autodissociation of water) is an ionization reaction in pure water or in an aqueous solution, in which a water molecule, H 2 O, deprotonates (loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms) to become a hydroxide ion, OH .The hydrogen nucleus, H +, immediately protonates another water molecule to form a hydronium cation, H 3 O +.

Just as with \(pH\), \(pOH\), and \(pK_w\), we can use negative logarithms to avoid exponential notation in writing acid and base ionization constants, by defining \(pK_a\) as follows: Similarly, Equation \ref{16.5.10}, which expresses the relationship between \(K_a\) and \(K_b\), can be written in logarithmic form as follows: The values of \(pK_a\) and \(pK_b\) are given for several common acids and bases in Table \(\PageIndex{1}\) and Table \(\PageIndex{2}\), respectively, and a more extensive set of data is provided in Tables E1 and E2. H Because \(pK_b = \log K_b\), \(K_b\) is \(10^{9.17} = 6.8 \times 10^{10}\). Accordingly, we classify acetic acid as a weak acid.

If both the Lewis acid and base are uncharged, the resulting bond is termed semipolar or coordinate, as in the reaction of boron trifluoride with ammonia: Frequently, however, either or both species bears a charge (most commonly a positive charge on the acid or a negative charge on the base), and the location of charges within the adduct often depends upon the theoretical interpretation of the valences involved.

The leveling effect applies to solutions of strong bases as well: In aqueous solution, any base stronger than \(\ce{OH^{}}\) is leveled to the strength of \(\ce{OH^{}}\) because \(\ce{OH^{}}\) is the strongest base that can exist in equilibrium with water. Measurements of the conductivity of 0.1 M solutions of both HI and \(HNO_3\) in acetic acid show that HI is completely dissociated, but \(HNO_3\) is only partially dissociated and behaves like a weak acid in this solvent.

In waterheavy water mixtures equilibria several species are involved: H2O, HDO, D2O, H3O+, D3O+, H2DO+, HD2O+, HO, DO. First, pOH is found and next, pH is found as steps in the calculations. For example, hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that ionizes essentially completely in dilute aqueous solution to produce \(H_3O^+\) and \(Cl^\); only negligible amounts of \(HCl\) molecules remain undissociated. and acetic acid, which is an example of a weak electrolyte. Salts such as \(\ce{K_2O}\), \(\ce{NaOCH3}\) (sodium methoxide), and \(\ce{NaNH2}\) (sodamide, or sodium amide), whose anions are the conjugate bases of species that would lie below water in Table \(\PageIndex{2}\), are all strong bases that react essentially completely (and often violently) with water, accepting a proton to give a solution of \(\ce{OH^{}}\) and the corresponding cation: \[\ce{K2O(s) + H2O(l) ->2OH^{}(aq) + 2K^{+} (aq)} \nonumber\], \[\ce{NaOCH3(s) + H2O(l) ->OH^{}(aq) + Na^{+} (aq) + CH3OH(aq)} \nonumber\], \[\ce{NaNH2(s) + H2O(l) ->OH^{}(aq) + Na^{+} (aq) + NH3(aq)} \nonumber\]. The rate of reaction for the ionization reaction, depends on the activation energy, E. . The reactions of anhydrous oxides (usually solid or molten) to give salts may be regarded as examples of Lewis acidbase-adduct formation.

Heavy water, D2O, self-ionizes less than normal water, H2O; This is due to the equilibrium isotope effect, a quantum mechanical effect attributed to oxygen forming a slightly stronger bond to deuterium because the larger mass of deuterium results in a lower zero-point energy. One method is to use a solvent such as anhydrous acetic acid. In fact, all six of the common strong acids that we first encountered in Chapter 4 have \(pK_a\) values less than zero, which means that they have a greater tendency to lose a proton than does the \(H_3O^+\) ion. Ammonia, NH3, another simple molecular compound,

Thus the conjugate base of a strong acid is a very weak base, and the conjugate base of a very weak acid is a strong base. Notice the inverse relationship between the strength of the parent acid and the strength of the conjugate base. The volatility of ammonia increases with increasing pH; therefore, it . For example, hydrolysis of aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and of sodium acetate is represented by the following equations: The sodium and chloride ions take no part in the reaction and could equally well be omitted from the equations.
