Day 74 Notes: Ch. 20 • Acid-Base: • Uses • Effect on Indicators • Neutralization
Sulfuric Acid • Highest volume production of any chemical in the U.S. • Used in the production of paper • Used in production of fertilizers • Used in petroleum refining
Nitric Acid • Used in the production of fertilizers • Used in the production of explosives • Nitric acid is a volatile acid – its reactive components evaporate easily • Stains proteins (including skin!)
Hydrochloric Acid • Used in the pickling of steel • Used to purify magnesium from sea water • Part of gastric juice, it aids in the digestion of protein • Sold commercially as “Muriatic acid”
Phosphoric Acid • A flavoring agent in sodas • Used in the manufacture of detergents • Used in the manufacture of fertilizers • Not a common laboratory reagent
Acetic Acid • Used in the manufacture of plastics • Used in making pharmaceuticals • Acetic acid is the acid present in vinegar
Examples of Organic Acids • Citric acid in citrus fruit • Malic acid in sour apples • Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA • Amino acids, the building blocks of protein • Lactic acid in sour milk and sore muscles • Butyric acid in rancid butter
Weak Acids: (Organic) Organic acids (Acids that contain carbon) are always weak acids. H+ + C2H3O2- HC2H3O2 H+ + CH3COO- CH3COOH Same acid written another way Carboxylic Acid group: R-COOH
Organic Acids Organic acids all contain the “carboxyl” group called “carboxylic acid”, sometimes several of them. The carboxyl group is a poor proton donor, so ALL organic acids are weak acids.
Properties of Acids and Bases • Acids taste sour and bases taste bitter • Bases effect indicators • Red litmus turns blue • Phenolphthalein turns purple (Fuchsia) • Bases have a pH greater than 7 • Bases are proton (hydrogen ion, H+) acceptors • Solutions of bases feel slippery • Bases neutralize acids • Acids neutralize bases
Properties of Acids and Bases Litmus test (link) Bases Acids Red litmus turns blue in a base Blue litmus turns red in an acid
Phenolphthalein Phenolphthalein is purplein a base. (Fuchsia) Phenolphthalein is colorless in an acid. Uses: (Will be used in today’s experiment) • A common indicator used in neutralization. (due to reaction being nearly neutral when it turns colorless after adding an acid to a basic solution) • Used as a laxative for over a century. (so don’t eat it!)
Neutralization Acids neutralize bases Bases neutralize acids
Products of Neutralization Acid + Salt Water Base + Cation written 1st H2O HCl + NaOH HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 CaSO4 2 H2O + KNO3 + H2O HNO3 + KOH HNO3 + KOH The products of neutralization are always a ______ and _______. salt water
