1. Acids and Bases

2. An acid is a compound that dissolves in water to form a solution with a pH lower than 7. A base is a compound that dissolves in water to form a solution with a pH greater than 7. ACIDS AND BASES

3. Saliva is basic so acids won’t corrode your teeth Stomach is acidic to activate pepsin Pancreas produces sodium bicarbonate to neutralize both acids and bases in the blood. Buffer ACIDS IN YOUR BODY

4. Indicators change colour depending on the pH of a solution. Litmus indicators turn blue in a base and red in an acid. A universal indicator is a mixture of several indicators that change colour as the acidity changes. INDICATORS

5. The pH scale is a measure of acidity Neutral substance has a pH of 7 at 25°C. Acidic substances are below 7. The closer the pH is to 0, the more acidic the substance is. Basic substances are above 7. The closer to 14, the more basic it is Every increase of 1on the pH scale indicates an increase of 10 in how basic a substance it is. A solution with a pH of 9 is ten times more basic than one with a pH of 8. PH SCALE

7. You can usually determine whether a compound is an acid by looking at the formula…if there is an H on the left side of the formula (HCl) or an H on the right side of an organic acid group (-COOH). IUPAC recommends naming acids as aqueous substances. Ex. HCl is aqueous hydrogen chloride Acids also have different naming systems…acids that contain hydrogen and one other non-metallic element can be written with the prefix ‘hydro-’ and the suffix ‘- ic.’ Ex. HCl is hydrochloric acid NAMING ACIDS

8. Acids that contain oxygen follow a system based on the anion. If the anion ends in ‘-ate’ then the acid ends in ‘-ic.’ Ex. H 2 SO 4 is sulfuric acid NAMING ACIDS CONT’D

10. All acids start with H (e.g. HCl, H 2 SO 4 ) 2 acids types exist: binary acids and oxyacids Binary: H + non-metal. E.g. HCl Oxy: H + polyatomic ion. E.g. H 2 SO 4 Each have different naming rules. Binary acids: naming depends on state of acid If it’s not aqueous: hydrogen + non-metal HCl(g) = hydrogen chloride If it is aqueous: hydro + non-metal + ic acid HCl(aq) = hydrochloric acid (aqueous hydrogen chloride) NAMING ACIDS: BINARY ACIDS HBr(s) HI(aq) H 2 S(aq) H 2 S(g) hydrogen bromidehydr(o)iodic acid hydrogen sulfidehydrosulfuric acid

11. Naming does not depend on the state (aq) 1) name the polyatomic ion 2) replace ate with ic, ite with ous 3) change non-metal root for pronunciation 4) add “acid” to the name E.g. H 2 SO 3 NAMING ACIDS: OXYACIDS HNO 2 hypochlorous acid H 3 PO 4 (aq) carbonic acid 1) sulphite,2) sulphous, 3) sulphurous, 4) sulphurous acid

12. Naming does not depend on the state (aq) 1) name the polyatomic ion 2) replace ate with ic, ite with ous 3) change non-metal root for pronunciation 4) add “acid” to the name E.g. H 2 SO 3 NAMING ACIDS: OXYACIDS HNO 2 nitrous acid hypochlorous acid HClO H 3 PO 4 (aq) phosphoric acid carbonic acid H 2 CO 3 1) sulphite,2) sulphous, 3) sulphurous, 4) sulphurous acid

13. a) chloric acid b) hydrosulfuric acid c) hydrobromic acid d) phosphorous acid e) iodic acid f) HCl(g) g) HCl(aq) h) H 2 SO 4 (s) i) H 2 SO 4 (aq) j) HClO 2 k) HF(aq) ASSIGNMENT: GIVE FORMULA OR NAME a) HClO 3 b) H 2 S(aq) c) HBr(aq) d) H 3 PO 3 e) HIO 3 f) hydrogen chloride g) hydrochloric acid h) sulfuric acid i) sulfuric acid j) chlorous acid k) hydrofluoric acid

14. When the hydroxide (OH - ) ion is present with the ammonium ion or a metal ion, it is basic. RECOGNIZING BASES BY THEIR FORMULAS

15. Bases contain an OH group C 6 H 12 O 6 does not have an OH group If an OH group is present it will be clearly indicated: e.g. NaOH, Ca(OH) 2 Also notice that bases have a metal (or positive ion such as NH 4 + at their beginning) Bases are named like other ionic compounds: +ve is named first, followed by the polyatomic ion NAMING BASES - calcium hydroxide - copper(I) hydroxide - Al(OH) 3 - NH 4 OH Ca(OH) 2 CuOH aluminum hydroxide ammonium hydroxide

16. When acids and bases react together, both acidic and basic properties disappear. This is neutralization. It produces water and a salt. NEUTRALIZATION
