Asids and Bases
Citric acid is found in lemons and other citrus food.
The acid in vinegar is acetic acid.
The acid used in car batteries is sulphuric acid.
The lining of our stomachs produce gastric juice which is essential for digestion. The acid in gastric juice is hydrochloric acid.
Ammonia are used in household cleaning products.
Sodium hydroxide is used to make soap.

7.1 ACID, BASE AND ALKALI
![Page 6: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Substances that ionise in water to produce hydrogen ions, H+, are acids.
Substances that ionise in water to yield hydroxide ions, OH-, are bases.
Arrhenius Theory
![Page 7: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Limitations
It can only be used to explain acids and bases that are dissolved in water.
It does not explain why substances such as ammonia, NH3, which does not contain an OH group like most bases, show basic properties in water.
Arrhenius Theory
![Page 8: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An acid is a substance that donates a proton (H+) to a base.
A base is a substance that accepts a proton (H+) from an acid.
Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base
![Page 9: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
An acid is a proton donor. A base is a proton accepter.
Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base
![Page 10: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In addition, according to Bronsted and Lowry, acid-base reactions are reversible reactions.
The acid has a conjugate base and the base has its conjugate acid.
Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base
![Page 11: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The products of a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction are also acids and bases.
Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base
![Page 12: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base
Example 1
CH3COOH + H2O H3O+ + CH3COO-
H+ donor H+ acceptor H+ donor H+ acceptor
Acid Base Conjugate acid Conjugate base
Example 2
![Page 13: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base
When a Brønsted-Lowry base such as ammonia is placed in water, it accepts a proton from the solvent (water). Hence, water acts as a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
NH3 + H2O OH- + NH4+
H+ acceptor H+ donor H+ acceptor H+ donor Base Acid Conjugate base Conjugate acid
NH4+ is the conjugate acid of the base NH3
OH- is the conjugate base of the acid H2O
Tip… Conjugate acid-base pairs are chemical spesies whose
formulae differ only by one proton, H+

Alkali
Alkali is originally from the Arabic word, “Al-Qaly”.
They are metal oxides or basic oxides of alkali metals that dissolve in water to produce the corresponding metal hydroxides.
![Page 15: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hydrated Protons and Hydronium Ions
Proton is fundamental to both the Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions of an acid.
Although the symbol H+(aq) is convenient to use in equations, it does not really represent the structure of the ion present in an aqueous solution.
![Page 16: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hydrated Protons and Hydronium Ions
This is because as a bare proton with no electron nearby, H+, is much too reactive to exist by itself.
The H+ attaches to a water molecule, giving the more stable hydronium ion, H3O+.
![Page 17: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Acid Strength and Base Strength
Dissociation
When an ionic compound dissolved in water or in aqueous solutions, it separates into its ions.
![Page 20: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Acid Strength and Base Strength
Ionisation
Unlike ionic compounds, covalent compounds are not made up of ions.
However, many such compounds, when dissolved in water, form ions in solution.
This process is called ionisation.

Acid Strength and Base Strength
Different acids and bases ionise to different extents in aqueous solutions.
Those acids or bases that ionise completely in aqueous solution form respectively strong acids and strong bases.
Those acids and bases that ionise only to a small extent are weak acids and weak bases respectively.
![Page 22: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Autoionisation of Water
Water ionises slightly in solution to produce equal numbers of hydrated hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.
![Page 24: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Autoionisation of Water
According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, this autoionisation or self-ionisation of water is an acid-base reaction.
One H2O molecule gives a proton to another H2O molecule as follows:
![Page 25: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Autoionisation of Water
Do you know that water is said to be amphiprotic?
It means that H2O molecules can donate protons (acting as an acid) as well as accept protons (acting as a base).

7.2 pH Scale
![Page 27: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
pH Scale
The pH scale is a scale of numbers from 0 to 14 to show how acidic or basic/alkaline a substance is.
![Page 28: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

BASES AND ALKALIS
![Page 30: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Properties of Acids
a) Acids have a sour taste.
b) Acids turn litmus paper from blue to red and cause bromothymol blue to change from blue to yellow.
c) Acids react with metals to form salt and hydrogen gas, H2.
![Page 31: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Properties of Acids
d) Acids react with bases or alkali to form salt and water. The reaction is a neutralisation reaction.
e) Acids react with salts of weaker acids to form the weaker acid and the salts of the stronger acids.
![Page 32: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Properties of Acids
f) Acids conduct electricity in aqueous solutions. Acids ionise into ions in solutions that are free to
move in an electric field, thus conducting electricity.
g) Carbonate salts react with acids, forming salt, carbon dioxide gas and water.
h) Concentrated acids are corrosive and can cause injury to the skin and corrode metals.

Properties of Bases and Alkalis
a) Bases have a bitter taste.
b) Bases feel soapy to touch.
c) Bases turn litmus paper from red to blue and bromthymol blue from yellow to blue.
d) Bases neutralise acids, forming salt and water.
e) Bases conduct electric current in aqueous solutions because bases are ionised to some extent.
f) Concentrated bases are corrosive and can burn the skin.

7.4TESTS FOR ACIDS AND ALKALIS
![Page 35: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Test for Acids and Alkalis
We can do test for acids and alkalis by using litmus paper, or indicators such as universal indicator.
Acidicity and alkalinity are measured by acid-base indicators that can change colour in acid or base solutions.
Or, we can use the pH meter for a more accurate reading of pH value.

7.5CONCENTRATION OF ACID AND
BASE
![Page 40: Topic 7 Acids and Bases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5695d3fe1a28ab9b029fe343/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Concentration of Acid and Base
The concentration of an acid or base is the quantity of solute in a given volume of solution which is usually 1 dm-3.
Thus, the concentration of a solution determines the amount of solute in a given volume of solution.
Thus, the amount of solute in a given volume of solution determines the concentration of a solution .
The greater the amount of dissolved solute, the higher is the concentration of the solution.

ACTIVITY 7.4
You are given a 2.0 M concentrated acid. To dilute the acid, you pour some water into a beaker and then add the acid to the water. More water is then added to further dilute the acid. Discuss why in diluting the concentrated acid, you did not add water directly to the acid.
Answer:
The reaction between water and acid is exothermic, generating intense heat, causing spattering.
