Properties of Acids and Bases Unit 13 – Acid and Bases Properties of Acids and Bases Properties Common Uses Neutralization and Salts Indicators Print 1-11, 13
HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl– A. Definitions Acids + – Ionize in water to form ______________ Proton (H+) donors hydronium ions (H3O+)
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH– A. Definitions Bases + – Ionize in water to form ______________ Proton (H+) acceptors hydroxide ions (OH–)
B. Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl– H + – H O O Cl Cl H H H H conjugate base is formed when an acid donates an H+.
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH– B. Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs + – conjugate acid is formed when a base accepts an H+.
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH– B. Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs (gain H+) NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH– Conjugate Acid Conjugate Base Base Acid (lose H+) Conjugate Acid-Base Pair related by loss or gain of a single H+ ion.
Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2 C. Properties ACIDS BASES sour taste turn litmus red conduct (ions) sing. rep. rxn w/ metals form H2 gas bitter taste turn litmus blue conduct (ions) slippery feel Red Ac-ed Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2
Formulas usually start with H D. Common Acids Formulas usually start with H Acetic acid HC2H3O2 Vinegar Carbonic acid H2CO3 Sodas Hydrochloric acid HCl Stomach acid Nitric acid HNO3 Fertilizer, industry Ascorbic acid C6H8O6 Vitamin C Sulfuric acid H2SO4 Battery acid
Formulas usually end with OH D. Common Bases Sodium hydroxide NaOH Drain cleaner, soap Magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2 Antacid, laxative Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 Concrete, plaster Aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3 Deodorant, antacid Ammonia NH3 Cleaner, fertilizer Formulas usually end with OH
E. Neutralization and Salts rxn of acid and base making a salt and water ACID + BASE SALT + WATER = HCl + NaOH NaCl + HOH H2O
E. Neutralization and Salts KOH + HNO3 H2O + KNO3 Acid? Base? Salt? donates H+ OH– accepts H+ neutral ionic compound (metal/nonmetal)
E. Neutralization and Salts Sodium chloride NaCl flavoring, preservative Sodium carbonate Na2CO3 glass Potassium chloride KCl salt substitute to reduce sodium Potassium iodide KI Added to table salt for more iodine Magnesium chloride MgCl2 De-icer for roads Calcium carbonate CaCO3 Chalk and marble Ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 Fertilizer, cold packs
F. Indicators Indicator changes color in an acid or base Examples: litmus - red/blue phenolphthalein - colorless/pink red cabbage juice - pink/green
