Acids • Have a sour taste.
Acids • Turn blue litmus red. • Turn methyl orange red.
Acids • Will react with: • some metals to produce a salt and H2. • metal oxides to produce a salt and H2O. • metal carbonates to produce a salt, H2O, and CO2. • bases to produce a salt and H2O. • Mg + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2 • MgO + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2O • MgCO3 + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2O + CO2 • Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl MgCl2 + 2H2O
Acids • Are electrolytes. • Conduct an electric current when dissolved.
Bases • Have a bitter taste. Coffee itself is acidic, but it contains an alkaline compound – caffeine – which contributes to its bitter taste.
Bases • Feel slimy or slippery to the touch.
Bases • Turn red litmus blue. • Turn methyl orange yellow. • Turn phenolphthalein pink. Litmus pH scale.
Bases • React with acids to produce salt and H2O. • HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
Bases • Are electrolytes.
Definitions of Acids and Bases • Arrhenius Definition • Acids increase [H3O+1] (hydronium ion concentration) in aqueous solutions. • HCl(aq) + H2O(l) Cl-1(aq) + H3O+1(aq) • Bases increase [OH-1] ions in aqueous solutions. • NaOH(s) Na+1(aq) + OH-1(aq)

Definitions of Acids and Bases • Bronsted-Lowry Definition • Most commonly used definition. • Acids are proton (H+1 ion) donors. • Allows water-insoluble substances to be acids, as long as they can give up H+1 ions. • Bases are proton acceptors.

Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs • When a B-L acid loses a proton, it becomes a relative (or conjugate) base. • HF + H2O F-1 + H3O+1 • F-1 + H2O HF + OH-1 • An acid and its conjugate base are called a conjugate acid/base pair.

Acids and Bases • Identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base in each of the following reactions: • HCl + NH3 Cl-1 + NH4+1 • Acid: HCl • Base: NH3 • Conjugate acid: NH4+1 • Conjugate base: Cl-1 • H2O + HF H3O+1 + F-1 • Acid: HF • Base: H2O • Conjugate acid: H3O+1 • Conjugate base: F-1
Amphoteric Substances • Amphoteric = capable of acting as an acid or a base. • Example: H2O • H2O + F-1 OH-1 + HF • H2O + HF H3O+ + F- • Example: HSO4-1 • HSO4-1 + OH-1 SO4-2 + H2O • HSO4-1 + H3O+1 H2SO4 + H2O
Definitions of Acids and Bases • Lewis definition • An acid is an electron-pair acceptor. • A base is an electron-pair donor. • Explains why Al+3 and Fe+3 ions are acidic although they have no H+1 ions to give up. • Lewis acids are e- deficient: • Metal cations, BF3 • Lewis bases have lone pairs of e-. • NH3, H2O, Cl-1, etc.
