Acids and Bases Acids and Bases are found everywhere – Common acids include: Hydrochloric Acid – Found in Gastric Juice – Used to clean bricks Citric Acid – Lemon Juice Acetic Acid – Vinegar Carbonic Acid – Soft Drink
Acids and Bases are found everywhere – Common bases include: Soaps and Detergents Lime Antacids
Acids and Bases Features of Acids – Taste sour (from latin Acidus/acere meaning sour) – Corrosive – React with bases to form salt and water – React with metals to form hydrogen gas Features of Bases – Taste Bitter – Feel Slippery – Corrosive – Alkalis are bases that dissolve in water – React with acids to form salt and water
Acids and Bases Definitions of acids Boyle described them that they neutralise bases and that they are sour Arrhenius, – Increase H 3 O+ concentration Bronsted-Lowry – Donates H+ ion
Acids and Bases Definitions of bases Arrhenius, – Increase HO- concentration Bronsted-Lowry – Accepts H+ ion
