Acids, Bases and Salts Mrs Teocc
Acids Strong acids Weak acids • man-made • mineral acids • corrosive • e.g. sulphuric acid hydrochloric acid nitric acid • found in plants and animals, used in food • organic acid • not very corrosive • e.g. ethanoic acid citric acid malic acid Acids
Lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits - citric acid Grapes – tartaric acid Physical Properties of Acids 1. Acids have a taste. sour
Indicator Colour in acid Blue Litmus Phenolphthalein Methyl orange Physical Properties of Acids 2. Acids can the colour of indicators change Red Colourless Red
Mg + H2SO4 MgSO4 + H2 Chemical Properties of Acids • An acid reacts with a metal to form a salt and hydrogen acid + metal salt + hydrogen • e.g1. zinc + hydrochloric acid • 2. Magnesium + sulphuric acid zinc + hydrogenchloride Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2 zinc + hydrogensulphate
Chemical Properties of Acids acid + metal salt + hydrogen
Chemical Properties of Acids acid + metal salt + hydrogen Note: 1. Different metals have different rates of reaction with dilute acids. 2. Sodium , potassium, lithium react explosively with dilute acids. 3.Copper, silver, gold do not react with dilute acids.
Chemical Properties of Acids a salt + water 2. An acid reacts with a base to form acid + base salt + water e.g. (a) copper(II) + sulphuric oxide acid (b) sodium + hydrochlorichydroxide acid copper(II) + water sulphate CuO + H2SO4 CuSO4 + H2O sodium + water chloride HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
Chemical Properties of Acids The reaction between a base and anacid to produce a salt and water is called neutralisation.
Chemical Properties of Acids 3. An acid reacts with a carbonate to produce a salt, water and carbon dioxide acid + carbonate salt + water + carbon dioxideeg.(a)magnesium +hydrochloric carbonate acid magnesium + water + carbon chloride dioxide MgCO3 + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2O + CO2
White precipitate is formed Chemical Properties of Acids carbonate + acidsalt + water + carbon dioxide
Properties of Acids Summary 1. Acids have a sour taste. 2. Acids change the colour of indicators 3. acid + metal 4. acid + base 5. acid + carbonate salt + hydrogen salt + water salt + water +carbon dioxide
Explanation for Properties • 1. When an acid dissolves in water, • it undergoes ionisation. • H+ ions and the corresponding acid polyatomic ions are formed. • The properties of an acid are due to the presence of hydrogen ions.
citric acid + water(hydrogen citrate) H+ion + citrate ion sulphuric acid + water(hydrogen sulphate) H+ion + sulphate ion hydrochloric acid + water(hydrogen chloride) H+ion + chloride ion Hydrogen ions and Acids When acid dissolves in water, H+ ions are formed
Hydrogen ions and Acids An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions in water
Acids Strong acids Weak acids • all the acid molecules ionise to become ions • most molecules remained unchanged Strength of Acids
Hydrochloric acid Sulphuric acid Nitric acid Ethanoicacid Citric acid Cleaning metallic surfaces before they are painted or coated with other metals Used as an in car batteries, making fertilisers, and plasticsMaking fertilisers and explosives Preserving food and cooking Making health salts Some Uses of Acids
Bases and Alkalis Bases * aqueous ammonia * metal oxides and metalhydroxidese.g. copper (II) oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium oxide, zinc hydroxide, potassium hydroxide Alkalis * aqueous ammonia * metal hydroxides which are soluble in watere.g. calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide,potassium hydroxide
BASES e.g.CuO Bases and Alkalis ALKALIS e.g. NaOH Alkalis are bases but not all bases are alkalis
Physical of Properties of Alkalis • Alkalis feel • Alkalis taste soapy. bitter.
Physical of Properties of Alkalis 3. Alkalischangethe colour of indicators Indicator Colour in Alkali Red litmus Blue Phenolphthalein Pink Methyl Orange Yellow
Chemical Properties of Alkalis 1. An alkali reacts with an acid to produce a salt and water only. acid + alkali salt + watere.g.(a) copper(II) + sulphuricoxideacid (b) sodium + hydrochlorichydroxideacid copper(II) +water sulphate CuO + H2SO4 CuSO4 + H2O sodium + water chloride HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
The reaction between an alkali (base) and an acid to produce a salt and water is called neutralisation.
Chemical Properties of Alkalis 2. An alkali reacts with an ammonium aalt to produce asalt, water and ammonia gas. alkali + ammonium saltsalt + water + ammonia gase.g.ammonium chloride + sodium hydroxide sodium chloride+ water + ammonia NH4Cl + NaOHNaCl + H2O + NH3
Chemical Properties of Alkalis 3. An alkali reacts with a solution of metal saltto form a metal hydroxide. e.g.FeCl3+ 3NaOH Fe(OH)3+ 3NaCl (red-brown ppt) CuSO4 + 2NaOHCu(OH)2 + Na2SO4 (blue ppt)
Properties of Alkalis Summary 1. Alkalis feel soapy. 2. Alkalis change the colour of indicators 3. alkali + acid 4. alkali + ammonium salt 5. alkali + solution of metal salt salt + water. salt + water + ammonia gas. metal hydroxide + salt
Hydroxide ions and Alkalis When an alkali dissolves in water hydroxide ions (OH-) ions are produced. e.g. NaOH Na+ + OH- KOH K+ + OH- * Properties of alkalis are due to the presence of hydroxide ions.
Alkalis Strong alkalis Weak alkalis • when the alkali is dissolved in water, all the ions are dissociated • most molecules remained unchanged Strength of Alkalis
OH- OH- Na+ Na+ OH- OH- Na+ Na+ OH- OH- Na+ Na+ Strength of Alkalis Strong alkalis e.g. NaOH Na+ + OH- KOH K+ + OH-
Strength of Alkalis Strong alkalis Na+ OH- Na+ OH- e.g. NaOH Na+ + OH- KOH K+ + OH- OH- Na+ OH- Na+ Na+ OH- OH- Na+
NH3 NH3 NH3 e.g.NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH- - Only a small fraction of ammonia molecules form OH- - Most of molecules remained unchanged NH3 NH3 Strength of Alkalis Weak alkalis
e.g.NH3 +H2O NH4+ + OH- - Only a small fraction of ammonia molecules form OH- - Most of molecules remained unchanged Strength of Alkalis NH3 Weak alkalis NH3 NH4+ OH- NH3 NH3
remove grease • neutralise acids e.g. soap, floor cleaners (strong alkali-sodium hydroxide) cleaners for glass windows (weak alkali/ /ammonia) e.g. toothpaste(magnesium hydroxide) antacid(aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide) Uses of bases/alkalis • mainly for 2 reasons
