SNC2P
Acids and Bases
Acids and Bases
And neutralization reactions
Acids
• Substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) when mixed in water
• Physical Properties:– Sour tasting– Wet to the touch when in solution– Water soluble– Good conductors of electricity, therefore
electrolytes
Acids
• Chemical Properties– React with metals to produce hydrogen gas– Corrosive– Make chemical indicators change colour– React with bases to produce a neutral
solution
Acids
• Examples:
Bases
• Substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when mixed in water. Also called alkaline
• Physical Properties:– Bitter tasting– Slippery to the touch when in solution– Water soluble– Good conductors of electricity, therefore
electrolytes
Bases
• Chemical Properties– Corrosive– Make chemical indicators change colour– React with acids to produce a neutral solution
Bases
• Examples:
Chemical Indicators
• Are solutions that change colour in acids and in bases
• Can be either – natural or – synthetic
Chemical Indicators
• Litmus paper:– Base turns it Blue!– Acid turns it Red!
Universal Indicator is a mixture of chemicals that changes colour through a wide range of pH values
The pH scale
• A numerical scale used to show how acidic or basic a solution is
• pH stands for “power of hydrogen”
The pH scale
• pH is a logarithmic scale which means that every unit on the scale represents a tenfold (10X) effect on the concentration of the solution
The pH scale: Logarithmic• This means that pH 3 is 10 times more acidic than ph 4. • If the value changes by more than one number you must
multiply – ex. From pH 5 to pH 8 = 10 x 10 x 10 (3 steps = 10
multiplied by itself 3 times)
Naming Acids
• A binary acid forms when an H+ bonds with a non-metal
• HF (aq), HCl (aq), HBr (aq), HI (aq), H2S (aq), and H3P (aq) are some common binary acids
• To name them, use the following structure:– “hydro + ______ ic acid”
Naming Acids
• An oxyacid has a non-metal and an oxygen component
• H3PO4, HClO3, HIO3, H2SO4, HBrO3, H2CO3, and HNO3 are some common oxyacids
• To name them:– “_____________ ic acid”
Naming Bases
1. Name the metal 2. Name the polyatomic (i.e. hydroxide)• Example
– Mg(OH)2 – magnesium hydroxide
Neutralization Reactions
• A type of double displacement reaction• Acid + Base Water + Salt• A salt is an ionic compound. The pH of
the products is around 7 (neutral)Examplehydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide
water + sodium chloride
