Chapter 20 Notes, part I Acids and Bases
What are some common acids? • Vinegar (acetic acid) • Carbonated drinks (carbonic and phosphoric acid) • Citrus fruits (citric acid) • Car battery (sulfuric acid)
What are some common bases? • Milk of magnesia (an antacid containing magnesium hydroxide) • Many cleaning products (ammonia, etc)
What properties do acids have? • Acids tend to be: • Tart or sour tasting • In solution, they are an electrolyte • They can cause chemical dyes (called indicators) to change colors
What properties do bases have? • Bases tend to be: • Bitter tasting • Slippery feeling when touched • Able to neutralize an acid
Salts are ionic compounds formed from a cation (other than H+) and an anion (other than OH-). • any ionic compound that is not classified as an acid or base. • taste salty! • Electrolytes are substances that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. • electricity is the flow of electrons (e-). • cations (+) allow (-) e- to flow through water. • There are three classes of electrolytes… • acids, bases and salts! • Good electrolytes ionize (dissociate) completely (100%) in water. • HNO3, HCl, NaOH and KOH all ionize completely
So what IS an acid? • An acid is a compound that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. • The formula would be HaX, where X is any monatomic or polyatomic anion and a is the anion’s charge.
Obj. 5-6…Acid Nomenclature • Two types of acids…binary and ternary • Binary acids (two capital letters)… • ‘hydro______ic acid’ hydrofluoric acid • HF = • H2S = hydrosulfuric acid • Ternary acids (three or more capital letters)… • NO HYDRO!!! • ‘ate – ic / ite – ous’ • anions ending in ‘ate’ change to ‘ic’…anions ending in ‘ite’ change to ‘ous’! sulfuric acid • H2SO4 = nitrous acid • HNO2 = sulfate nitrite
Obj. 5-6 cont… • To write formulas for acids… • formula starts with H • prefix ‘hydro’ = only 2 capital letters • no ‘hydro’ = H + polyatomic ion (ate – ic / ite – ous) • look at oxidation #s to see if subscripts are needed • Ex… H2C2O4 • oxalic acid = H+1 and C2O4-2 = • hydroiodic acid = H+1 and I -1 = HI • sulfurous acid = H+1 and SO3 -2 = H2SO3
Naming an acid • When the name of the anion (X) ends in –ide, the name begins with hydro-, then the stem of the anion, then the name ends with –ic acid instead of -ide. • When the name of the ion ends in –ite, then the name would be the stem of the anion and the suffix –ous acid instead of –ite. • When the name of the ion ends in –ate, then the name would be the stem of the anion and the suffix –ic acid instead of-ate.
Then what is a base? • A base is a compound that produces hydroxide (OH-) ions when in solution. • Bases are named the same way that an ionic compound would be named.
