NC Essential Standards • 3.2.1 Classify substances using the hydronium and hydroxide concentrations • Distinguish between acids and bases based on formula and chemical properties • Differentiate between concentration (molarity) and strength (degree of dissociation) • Use pH to identify acids and bases. • Interpret pH scale in terms of the exponential nature of pH values in terms of concentrations. • Relate the color of indicator to pH using ranges provided in a table. • Compute pH, pOH, [H⁺] and [OH⁻] • 3.2.2 Distinguish properties of acids and bases related to taste, touch, reaction with metals, electrical conductivity, and identification with indicators such as litmus paper and phenolphthalein.

Arrenhius Definition of Acids and Bases • Acids release H⁺ ion • Also known as hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) • Bases release OH⁻¹ ions • Other definitions: • Bronsted Lowery • Lewis
pH scale • pH values • pH = - log [H⁺]
pH Scale Neutral ⇓
Ions in Solutions Neutral [H⁺] [OH⁻] In water: [H⁺]= [ OH⁻] pH = 7 pOH = 7
pOH Scale Neutral ⇓ pH + pOH = 14

pH indicators • What is the approximate pH of the solution tested in the picture? Is the solution an acid or a base? Is it strong or weak?
pH Indicators Litmus Paper Phenolphthalein Blue - indicates base Red - indicates acid
Universal Indicator Bromothymol Blue Acid = yellow Neutral = green Base = blue
Concentration⇎ Strength • Concentrated or dilute - Molarity • 6M vs. 0.6 M Strength or weak = degree to which acids or bases separate into ions
Strength vs. Concentration • Strength in acids • Based on degree H⁺ ions separate from the anion • Proportion of acid molecules in which H⁺ separate compared to how many acid molecules do not separate • Strong acids = most H⁺ separate • Examples: HCl, HNO₃ and H₂SO₄ • Weak acids = only some H⁺ separate • Examples: HF, HC₂H₃O₂ • Strength of Bases • Strong = most OH⁻ separate from the metal
