What are acids? • Acids: • sharp,sour taste, feel prickly on skin, • react with metals to release H2(g), • react with carbonates to release CO2(g), • turn litmus red, • neutralize bases.
What are bases? • Bases: • bitter taste • slippery to touch • turn litmus blue

Arrhenius acid-base rxn • Arrhenius acid-base neutralization rxn yields salt + water. • Arrhenius limited to aqueous solution.
But NH3 is a base!! • Arrhenius says bases have to have OH-’s and acids H+’s. • However NH3 is a base but has no OH- in its formula. • Now have enlarged defn of acid and base that’s not restricted to aqueous soln
A Bronsted-Lowry (B-L) acid • A B-L base • The acid-base neutralization rxn is the transfer of a H+ from an acid to a base.
Concept of base in enlarged (H+ acceptor) • Acid still has to have H+.
Identify acids and bases in • SO32- + HCl HSO3- + Cl- • Note that the products of the rxn are acids and bases themselves.

Strength of acids and bases • Some species are better proton donors than others; some species are better proton acceptors than others. • The better the species is at donating a proton to the base, the stronger the acidic properties of the species. • Strength is a measure of the degree of dissociation of the acid or base in solution. Stronger the acid(base) the larger the value of K for that dissociation.
The better the species is at accepting the proton from the acid, the stronger the basic properties of the species. • We are talking about strong and weak here in relative terms.
Generally talk about aqueous sol’ns. • Some acids and bases are strong acids and bases meaning that they are • HCl + H2O Cl- or HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) • NaOH(aq) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) • Ca(OH)2(aq)Ca2+(aq) +2OH-(aq)
Some acids and bases are not 100% ionized. These are weak acids (and bases). (weak electrolytes)This means that K < 1 for these rxns. Instead an equilbrium is set up: • HF + H2O H3O+ + F- Ka= 7.1 x 10-4 • HCOOH + H2O HCOO- + H3O+ Ka = 1.7 x 10-4 • Larger value of Ka stronger the acid
How do you know what acids and bases are strong? • See fig 9.2 p239 Strong acids Strong bases • HCl OH- (metal ) • H2SO4 (1st ioniz. only) S2- • HNO3 O2- • H3O+
The stronger the acid, the weaker the conj. base of the acid. The weaker the acid, the stronger the conj. base of the acid, etc. • What does this imply?
