Chapter 19 Acids and Bases
2
Questions for Today 1. What are the physical and chemical property of Acids and Bases? 2. How do you classify solutions as acidic, basic, or neutral? 3. Compare and Contrast Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry Models of acids and bases. 4. What is a conjugate acid or base and how do you identify it?
3
Class question Where can acids be found? Sodas Sodas Stomach Stomach Vinegar Vinegar Citrus fruits Citrus fruits Where can bases be found? Soap Soap Drano Drano Antacid tablets Antacid tablets Windex Windex detergent detergent

Properties of Acids and Bases Acids and bases are some of the most important industrial compounds on Earth. We use 30 – 40 billion kg of sulfuric acid each year to make many common products. We use 30 – 40 billion kg of sulfuric acid each year to make many common products. Acids and Bases can be identified using their chemical and physical property? What are examples of chemical or physical properties? What are examples of chemical or physical properties?

Properties of Acids and Bases Acids: Taste sour Taste sour Feel like water Feel like water Reacts with Metals Reacts with Metals EffervesenceEffervesence Corrosive Corrosive Turns litmus paper red Turns litmus paper red Bases Taste Bitter Taste Bitter Feels Slippery Feels Slippery Does not react with Metals Does not react with Metals Reacts with Organic Tissue Reacts with Organic Tissue Caustic BurnsCaustic Burns Turns litmus paper blue Turns litmus paper blue
6
Strength of Acids & Bases Strong Acid/Base 100% ionized in water, comes apart completely in water 100% ionized in water, comes apart completely in water Strong electrolyte, conducts electricity Strong electrolyte, conducts electricity Strong Acids: HCl, HNO 3, H 2 SO 4 Strong Acids: HCl, HNO 3, H 2 SO 4 Strong Bases: NaOH, KOH Strong Bases: NaOH, KOH
7
Strength of Acids & Bases Weak Acid/Base Does not ionize completely, does not come apart completely in water Weak electrolyte, does not conduct electricity well. Weak Acids: HF, CH 3 COOH Weak Base: NH 3
8
Warning Never use taste in a lab setting to identify acids or bases unless told to by your science teacher.
9
Acid/Base Indicators An acid-base indicator is a weak acid or a weak base. An Indicator changes color over a range of hydrogen ion concentrations. This range is expressed as a pH range. Some common indicators are: litmus paper, cabbage juice, phenolphthalein bromthymol blue etc.
10
Identifying and Classifying Acids and Bases Litmus Paper A chemically treated paper used to identify acids/bases by color comparision. A chemically treated paper used to identify acids/bases by color comparision. Litmus Paper turns redder in the presence of an Acid while, in a base, the paper becomes blue. Litmus Paper turns redder in the presence of an Acid while, in a base, the paper becomes blue. Electrolytic An electrolyte is any solution that contains ions and can conduct electricity. An electrolyte is any solution that contains ions and can conduct electricity. Both acids and bases can conduct electricity Both acids and bases can conduct electricity Pure Water is a nonconductor of electricity.Pure Water is a nonconductor of electricity.
11
Identifying and Classifying Acids and Bases Why are some aqueous solutions acids, bases, or neutral? The amount of Hydrogen ions (H + ) or Hydroxide ions (OH - ) determines the acidity or basidity of a solution. An Acidic solution contains more H + ions than OH - ions An Acidic solution contains more H + ions than OH - ions A Basic Solution contains more OH - ions than H + ions. A Basic Solution contains more OH - ions than H + ions. Neutral Solutions contain equal amounts of H + ions and OH - ions. Neutral Solutions contain equal amounts of H + ions and OH - ions.
12
Who “Discovered” Acids? First chemist to define acids and bases was Swedish chemist, Svante Arrhenius. The Arrhenius Model states that an acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes to produce Hydrogen ions (H + ) in aqueous solution while a Base is a substance that contains a Hydroxide group and dissociates to produce a hydroxide ion (OH - ) in aqueous solution.
13
Example of Arrhenius Model HCl H + + Cl - Hydrochloric Acid will dissociate into Hydrogen ions and Chlorine ions when dissolved in Water. Hydrochloric Acid will dissociate into Hydrogen ions and Chlorine ions when dissolved in Water. NaOH Na + + OH - When the ionic compound NaOH dissolves in water, it dissociates to produce Hydroxide ions, which makes the solution Basic. When the ionic compound NaOH dissolves in water, it dissociates to produce Hydroxide ions, which makes the solution Basic.
14
Flaw with Arrhenius model NNNNot all bases contain hydroxide EEEEx: ammonia (NH3) is basic TTTTherefore a new type of acid/base must be determined
15
Bronsted-Lowry Model Bronsted-Lowry Acid Defn: proton/H + donor Defn: proton/H + donor can give H + to another speciescan give H + to another species Bronsted-Lowry Base Defn: proton/H + acceptor Defn: proton/H + acceptor can take H + from another speciescan take H + from another species
16
Bronsted-Lowry Model RRRREMEMBER!!!! REMEMBER!!!! Acids Donate, Bases Accept protons Ashley donates Blood Always
17
Examples HCl + H 2 O Cl - + H 3 O + What is happening here? Acid (donates proton) Base (accepts proton) Which is the acid? base?
18
Bronsted-Lowry Model Examples NH 3 + H 2 O NH 4 + + OH - What is happening here? Acid (donates proton) Base (accepts proton) Which is the acid? base?
19
Amphoteric Defn – substance that can act as both acids and bases HNO 3 + H 2 O H 3 O + + NO 3 - NH 3 + H 2 O NH 4 + + OH - base acid Water is amphoteric b/c it is acts as a base in one reaction and acts as an acid in the second Is H 2 O a base or acid? Is H 2 O a base or acid?
20
Neutralization Reactions Strong acid + Strong base Salt + Water Ex. HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + H 2 O
21
Acids & Bases pHpH
22
The pH Scale The pH scale indicates the hydronium ion concentration, [H 3 O + ] In other words how many H 3 O + ions are in a solution. If there are a lot we assume it is an acid, if there are very few it is a base.
23
The pH Scale 0 7 INCREASING ACIDITY NEUTRAL INCREASING BASICITY 14
24
The pH Scale pH of Common Substances
