General properties ACIDS • Turn litmus • React with active metals – Fe, Zn • React with bases BASES • Turn litmus • Feel soapy or slippery (react with fats to make soap) • React with acids
Definitions Arrehenius only in water Bronsted-Lowry any solvent Lewis used in organic chemistry, wider range of substances Acids – produce H+ Bases - produce OH- Acids – donate H+ Bases – accept H+ Acids – accept e- pair Bases – donate e- pair
Examples The hydrogen ion in aqueous solution H+ + H2O H3O+ (hydronium ion) Arrhenius HCl NaOH Bronsted-Lowry HCl HCN NH3 :NH3 Lewis BF3
Neutralization HCl + NaOH NaCl + HOH In general: Acid + Base Salt + Water All neutralization reactions are double displacement reactions.
