1. Chapter 8 – Solutions, Acids
2. 8.3 Properties of Acids and Bases Acid – a compound that produces hydronium (H30+) ions when dissolved in water
Properties of acids
Sour taste
Reactivity with metals
Color changes in indicators
Indicator – any substance that changes color in the presence of an acid or a base
4. Base – a compound that produces (OH-) ions when dissolved in water
Properties of Bases –
Bitter taste
Slippery feel
Color changes in indicators
6. Neutralization and Salts Neutralization Reaction
Acid + Base ? Salt + Water
Salt – neg. ions in acid combine with pos. ions in base to form an ionic compound called a salt.
8. Acids donate protons
Bases accept protons
9. 8.4 Strength of Acids and Bases The pH Scale
Scale from 0 – 14
Lower pH value = higher H3O+ concentration
lower OH- concentration
Higher pH value = lower H3O+ concentration
higher OH- concentration
11.
Strong acids – ionize almost completely when dissolved in water
Ex. H2SO4, HNO3
Strong bases – dissociate almost completely in water
Ex. Ca(OH)2, KOH
12. Weak Acids – ionize only slightly in water
Weak Bases – dissociate only slightly in water
Concentration AND strength both affect pH, so strong acids don’t necessarily always have low pHs and vice versa.
13. Buffers – a solution that is resistant to large changes in pH
Electrolytes – a substance that forms ions in water
