  1. Acids and Bases

  2. Unit Main Goals • Definitions (3) • Properties • Using pH • Neutralization

  3. Malic Acid Acetic Acid Citric Acid Malic Acid Carbonic Acid Lactic Acid Hydrochloric Acid But, what are ACIDS?

  4. Acid Properties • Taste sour (like lemons) (AHH!!! Don’t try this at home!) Often Corrosive and/or Poison!!! • React with most metals to form hydrogen gas2Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) ---> ZnCl + H2 • Frequently feel "sticky" • Conduct electric current (ELECTROLYTE) • Form ions in solution • Change blue litmus paper Red

  5. Base Properties • Taste bitter (like baking soda) (AHH!!! Don’t try this at home either!) Often Caustic and/or Poison!!! • Frequently feel "slippery" (like soap) • Conduct electric current (ELECTROLYTE) • Form ions in solution • Change red litmus paper to Blue • React with Oils & Greases BASIC BLUE

  6. Simple Test BASIC ACIDIC NEUTRAL LITMUS PAPER Why must you test with both?

  7. Spectrum of Solutions • Acids Neutrals Bases

  8. Hydrogen Ion 1e- 1 p+ 1 p+ Hydrogen Atom Hydrogen Ion PROTON All Acids will have a hydrogen in their chemical formula

  9. Arrhenius Definition • Acid - Substances in water that increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). • HCL(aq) • NaOH(aq) • Base - Substances in water that increase concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-). • By definition – easy to sort substances into acids and bases • Problem – many bases do not actually contain hydroxides • H+ • Cl- • Na+ • OH-

  10. HCL(aq) • H+ • Cl- • HCl<---> H+ + Cl- IN WATER • HCl + H2O<---> H3O+ + Cl- HYDRONIUM Ion

  11. Brønsted-Lowry Definition • Acid - Substances that donate protons (H+). • Base - Substances that accept protons . (Must have a negative pole somewhere to attract those positives!!) Arrhenius Definition • Acid - Substances in water that increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). • Base - Substances in water that increase concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-). Isn’t that the same thing??

  12. Brønsted-Lowry Definition Become Negative • Acid - Substances that donate protons (H+). • Base - Substances that accept protons . (Must have a negative pole somewhere to attract those positives!!) Become Postive Lewis Definition Become Negative • Acid - Substances that accept electrons. • Base - Substances that donate electrons. Become Positive

  13. Summary • If you've got something that can give off H+, it's an acid.  • All acids you'll see have hydrogen atoms in them.  • Most common acids have the letter H in the beginning of their formula • Exception: acetic acid CH3COOH •  Bases, on the other hand, are compounds that give off OH- in water or accept protons or donate electrons  •  Most common baes have an "OH" in the end of their formula.  • Exception: ammonia, NH3.

  14. Conjugates HF(aq) + H2O(l) <---> F-(aq) + H3O+(aq) Base Acid Conjugate Base Amphoteric NH3(aq) + H2O(l) <---> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) Acid Base Conjugate Acid

  15. Ways to Test • Litmus Paper • Phenolphthalein Indicator • Golden Rod Paper • Cabbage Juice • pH paper
