Acids and Bases! Introduction. Acids. Chemicals that increase the concentration of H + ions in an aqueous solution HCl H + + Cl - H 2 SO 4 2H + + SO 4 -2. Properties of Acids. Taste sour React with metals to make H 2 gas Conduct electricity

Acids Chemicals that increase the concentration of H+ ions in an aqueous solution HCl H+ + Cl- H2SO4 2H+ + SO4-2
Properties of Acids • Taste sour • React with metals to make H2 gas • Conduct electricity • Mix with bases to make water and salts • Turn pH paper red
Bases Chemicals that increase the concentration of OH- ions in an aqueous solution NaOH Na+ + OH- Sometimes you will hear them called “Alkaline”
Properties of Bases • Taste bitter • Conduct electricity • Mix with acids to make water and salts • Turn pH paper blue • Slippery
pHScale pH is a way of measuring the concentration of H+ ions in the solution Remember: A – B (alphabetical) 1 – 14
Strong vs. Weak vs. Concentrated vs. Dilute • Strong = dissociates completely • Weak = dissociates <5% • Concentrated = LOTS of the acid/base, a little bit of water • Dilute = a LITTLE bit of acid/base, a lot of water
Dissociation HCl H+ + Cl- HNO3 H+ + NO3- H2SO4 H+ + HSO4- 2H+ + SO42- DIPROTIC Two hydrogens to come off
Neutralization Reaction Acid+ Base Salt + H2O HCl + NaOH NaCl + HOH
In reality… H+ + H2O H3O+ Hydronium Ion (Can be used interchangeably with H+)
Indicators • Chemicals that you can add to your solution. They will turn color to show you the pH Phenolphthalein turns pink when BASIC
Some Basic pH Calculations pH = -log10[H+][H+] = 10-pH
