1. Acids and Bases

2. There are many types of Acids How do we name them?
Most acids have H on the left side of the formula
Some contain oxygen, some do not
Many compounds such as HCl only act as acids when mixed with water
Therefore formulas for acids mixed with water are written as HCl(aq),
aq=aqueous=acid dissolved in water to make a solution
H2SO4, HClO3, HCl, HBr,

3. Naming Acids without O
If no state is given (no aq) then the name is written beginning with hydrogen
Example: HCl hydrogen chloride
Example: HBr hydrogen bromide
If the acid is shown as aqueous (with aq) then the name ends in “ic”
Example: HCl(aq) hydrochloric acid
Example: HBr(aq) hydrobromic acid

4. Naming Acids with O
If no state is given (no aq) then the name is written beginning with hydrogen
Note: Look at the table of polyatomic ions (textbook, page 192)
Example: HNO3
Now break it up H NO3
hydrogen nitrate = polyatomic ion
Hydrogen carbonate

5. Naming Acids with O continued
If the acid is shown as aqueous (with aq)
And the name begins with hydrogen
And ends with “ate”
Example: hydrogen nitrate, (HNO3)
Then hydrogen is dropped from the name
And the name ending changes to “ic acid”
Example: HNO3(aq) nitric acid
Nitric acid and sulfuric acid are the main components in acid rain

6. Naming Acids with O continued again!
If the acid is shown as aqueous (with aq)
And the name begins with hydrogen
And ends with “ite”
Example: hydrogen sulfite, (H2SO3)
Then hydrogen is dropped from the name
And the name ending changes to “ous acid”
Example: H2SO3(aq) sulfurous acid

7. Naming Bases
A base can be identified by the OH at the end of the formula
To name a base use the name if the first element and add hydroxide to the end
Example: NaOH = sodium hydroxide
Example: Mg(OH)2 = magnesium hydroxide
Watch last videos

8. Common Bases found around the house
Common Bases you
might see at home
Hazard labels you
should know
These indicate corrosive material
and therefore should be handled with care
NEVER mix household chemicals

10. Look up chemical reaction for this demo
Properties of Acids
Acids corrode metals such as magnesium and zinc
When mixed with certain metals such as magnesium they react to produce H2 gas

11. Salts There is more SALT than just table salt!
Salts form when you mix an acid and base.
When an acid and base are mixed to form salt and water it is known as a neutralization reaction.
It’s no longer acidic or basic it’s neutral.
When acids are mixed with some metals a salt can be formed.

12. Some examples of salt: NaCl (you know this one, it’s table salt) KCl
NaCH3COO (sodium acetate it’s what they put on salt and vinegar chips. Yummm!)
