Ch. 15 – Acids & Bases • ACIDS – Have a H+ ion (Hydronium ion) • Corrosive • pH lower than 7 • Electrolyte • Sour taste • Mix acid to water to dilute; never mix water to acid.
Common Acids • Nitric acid – HNO3 • Hydrochloric acid – HCl • Phosphoric acid – H3PO4 • Sulfuric acid – H2SO4 • Carbonic acid – HCO3 • Acetic acid – HC2H3O2
Phosphoric acid • Flavor agent in beverages • Acetic acid • 5% of vinegar • Fermentation product in juices, wines, & beer • Hydrochloric acid • Stomach acid • Used to pickle metals
Nitric acid • Making explosives • Turns skin yellow – protein indicator • Sulfuric acid • Strongest acid • Used in car batteries • Dehydrating agent (anhydrous)
Bases • Base – has an OH- ion (hydroxide ion) • Corrosive • pH higher than 7 • Electrolyte • Bitter taste • Pink with phenophalthene as an indicator • H+ & OH- ions tend to neutralize each other out Neutralization
Common Bases • Lithium hydroxide – LiOH strong • Calcium hydroxide – Ca(OH)2 weak • Sodium hydroxide – NaOH strong • Lye & drain cleaner • Potassium hydroxide – KOH strong • Magnesium hydroxide – Mg(OH)2 weak • Ant-acid
A substance with OH- form a soluble base is called an alkaline. • An acid with a compound of H, O, & a third element is called an Oxyacid. • Ex. HNO3, H2SO4 • NH4 is the only base without OH in it.
Basic anhydride is an oxide that reacts with water to form an alkaline solution. • A base without water • Takes water out of a substance when it come in contact with it. • Very strong bases (lye) • The stronger the base the more anhydric it is.
Acid anhydride is an oxide that reacts with water to form an acid. • An acid without water • Takes water out of substances when it comes in contact with them. • Very strong acids (sulfuric acid) • The stronger the acid the more anhydric it is.
ACIDS & BASES COMBINE TO FORM A SALT & WATER. • NaOH + HCl H2O + NaCl • HCl + LiOH H2O + LiCl • Amphoteric is any solution that can react as either an acid or a base.
