ACIDS & BASES
2
Properties of an Acid Sour Taste Corrosive Changes color when reacting with an indicator An indicator is an organic compound that changes color in acid and base. Acids will turn blue litmus paper red
3
Common Acids Foods such as citrus fruits, yogurt, pickles contain acid Your stomach uses hydrochloric acid to digest food Sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, and hydrochloric acids are used in industrial applications
4
Common Acids AcidUses Acetic acidVinegar Acetylsalicylic acidAsprin Asorbic acidVitamin C Carbonic acidIn carbonated drinks Hydrochloric acidIn stomach, used to clean steel Nitric AcidUsed to make fertilizers Phosphoric acidUsed to make detergent, fertilizer, soft drinks Sulfuric acidCar batteries, fertilizers, and other chemicals
5
Properties of Bases Bitter taste Slippery to touch Corrosive Create a predictable color change with an indicator Turns litmus paper blue In their pure state, many bases are solids
6
Common Bases Used in drain cleaners Soap Milk of magnesia
7
Common Bases BaseUse Aluminum hydroxideColor-fast farics, antacid, water treatment Calcium hydroxideLeather making, plaster Magnesium hydroxideLaxative, antacid Sodium hydroxideMakes soap, oven cleaner, drain cleaner, paper Sodium HypochloriteBleach AmmoniaCleaner, fertilizer, to make rayon and nylon
8
Solutions of Acids and Bases Many common acids and bases are actually solutions Cleaning products and vinegar are a solution of base or acid
9
How do we define and acid and a base? There are 3 theories as to what acids and bases are. They are Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis Theory.
10
What is an Acid and Base?(Arrhenius) An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions (H + ) when dissolved in a water solution Acids contain hydrogen in their chemical formula These hydrogen ions react with the water molecules and form hydronium ions (H 3 O + ) Any substance that forms hydroxide ions (OH - ) in a water solution is called a base Most bases will end in hydroxide (OH)
11
HCl -> H + (aq) + Cl - (aq) NaOH -> Na + (aq) + OH - (aq)
12
Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases Arrhenius definition does not fit the bases of NH 3 and Na 2 CO 3 In Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is something that donates protons while a base is something that accepts them. In this case a H+ and a proton are the same thing. Everything that is an acid or base under Arrhenius is an acid or base under Bronsted-Lowry
13
Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases NH 3 + H 2 O -> NH 4 + + OH - Which is the acid and which is the base? BASEACID
14
Conjugate Acids and Bases NH 3 + H 2 O -> NH 4 + + OH - What is is a conjugate acid or base? A conjugate acid is the particle formed when a base gains a hydrojetn ion. A conjugate base is the particle that remains when an acid has donated a hydrogen ion Together, they are a conjugate acid/base pair Conjugate Acid Conjugate Base
15
Examples HCl + H 2 O -> H 3 O + + Cl - H 2 SO 4 + H 2 O -> H 3 O + + HSO 4 ACID BASE CA CB
16
Lewis Acids and Bases A Lewis acid is something that accepts electron pairs to form a covalent bond A Lewis base is something that donates electron pairs to form a covalent bond
