Section 7-4 Acids and Bases in Solution
Acids in Solution • An acid produces a hydrogen ion (H+) when dissolved in water. • Actually just a nakey proton
Polyatomic Ions • Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms with a charge: • Always covalently bonded molecules (non-metals) • Examples: • OH1- (Hydroxide) • HCO31- (Bicarbonate) • NO31- (Nitrate) • CO32- (Carbonate) • SO42- (Sulfate) • PO43- (Phosphate) • NH41+ (Ammonium)
Bases in Solution • A base has two definitions • Produces a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water • Can accept hydrogen ions
Concentration of Acids and Bases The concentration of acids and bases is determined by its solubility
Strength of Acids and Bases • Measuring pH – the potential for releasing a hydrogen ion • A scale from 0 to 14 that shows the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution
Acid-Base Reactions • A reaction between an acid and a base are called neutralizations • Produces salt and water (pH = 7) • A salt is any ionic compound • HCl + NaOH ----> H2O + NaCl • HNO3 + KOH ----> H2O + KNO3
