Acid Properties Sour taste (citrus fruits) Conduct electric current Change the color of indicators-turns litmus paper red pH concentration < 7 React with bases to produce salt and water: HCl + NaOH H 2 O + NaCl Some react with metals to release H 2 gas: Mg + HCl MgCl 2 + H 2
Naming Acids 1. Binary Acids: a. H 2 Shydrosulfuric acid 2.Ternary Acids: a. H 2 SO 4 - “IC I ATE that” sulfuric acid b. H 2 SO 3 -“RITEOUS” sulfurous acid
Base (alkaline) Properties Bitter taste (coffee) Feel slippery (soap) Change the color of indicators-turns litmus paper blue Caustic- attack the skin, cause severe burns Conduct electric current
Arrhenius Acids and Bases Arrhenius Acid: A compound that produces H + in solution. Ionizes to yield a proton in an aqueous solution. A compound that produces H + in solution. Ionizes to yield a proton in an aqueous solution. Ex: HCl (g) H + (aq) + Cl - (aq) Ex: HCl (g) H + (aq) + Cl - (aq) Arrhenius Base: A compound that produces OH - in solution. A compound that produces OH - in solution. Ex: NaOH (s) Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Ex: NaOH (s) Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) H2OH2O H2OH2O
Hydronium ion The particle formed by the combination of a hydrogen ion with a water molecule. H + + H 2 O H 3 O +1
pH Scale A more convenient way to express acidity A more convenient way to express acidity pH = -log[H 3 O + ] pOH = -log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14.0
Find the pH and pOH of a 1x M solution of HBr. 1. HBr is an acid so we are looking at the [H + ] concentration. [H + ] = 1x M [H + ] = 1x M 2. pH = -log[1x ] pH = pH + pOH = pOH = pOH = 14 pOH = 4 pOH = 4
pH pH 0-7: acidic solution pH 7: neutral solution pH 7-14: basic solution
Calculating pH pH = -log [H + ] Ex: A solution has a H + concentration of 1x10 -5 pH = -log [1x10 -5 ] pH = 5 and we have an acidic solution Ex: A solution has a pH=8 8 = -log [H + ] [H + ] = 1 x 10 -8
