1. 1 Acids, Bases and Salts Version 1.0

2. 2 Acid Properties sour taste change the color of litmus from blue to red. react with –metals such as zinc and magnesium to produce hydrogen gas –hydroxide bases to produce water and an ionic compound (salt) –carbonates to produce carbon dioxide. These properties are due to the release of hydrogen ions, H +, in water solution.

3. 3 Base Properties bitter or caustic taste a slippery, soapy feeling. the ability to change litmus red to blue the ability to interact with acids

4. 4 Uses of acids and bases Many of the things we eat & use today are made up of acids and bases. Examples: n Sulfuric acid-car batteries,acid rain n Hydrochloric acid-stomach acid n Sodium hydrogen carbonate-baking soda and cooking

5. 5 Uses of Acids/ Bases Contd. n, DNA,the building block of life, stores genetic information. n Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. n Found in movies: Acids in Jurassic Park (DNA) and in Aliens (acidic blood).

6. 6 Arrhenius Acid/Base Definition Svante Arrhenius was a Swedish scientist who lived from 1859-1927. In 1884 he advanced a theory of acids and bases.

7. 7 An Arrhenius acid “is a hydrogen- containing substance that dissociates to produce hydrogen ions.” HA → H + + A - Acid

8. 8 An Arrhenius base is a hydroxide- containing substance that dissociates to produce hydroxide ions in aqueous solution. MOH → M + (aq) + OH - (aq) Base

9. 9 An Arrhenius acid solution contains an excess of H + ions because an Arrhenius acid increases H+ concentration, when dissolved in water. An Arrhenius base solution contains an excess of OH - ions because it increases OH- concentration, when dissolved in water.

10. 10 Bronsted and Lowry Definition J.N. Bronsted (1897-1947) was a Danish chemist and T. M. Lowry (1847-1936) was an English chemist. In 1923 they advanced their theory of acids and bases.

11. 11 A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton (H + ) donor. A Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton (H + ) acceptor.

12. 12 HCl (aq) + H 2 O(l) → H 3 O + (aq) + Cl - (aq) proton acceptor Bronsted-Lowry Base proton donor Bronsted-Lowry Acid

13. 13 Conjugate acid-base pairs differ by a single proton. 1. Are sulphate and sulfuric acid conjugate acid and base of each other? Why or why not? 2. Write conjugate base of H 3 PO 4. 3. Write conjugate acid of NO 3 - 1. No, they differ by 2 protons. 2. H 3 PO 4. 3. HNO 3

14. 14. A strong acid has a weak conjugate base and vice versa. List of strong Acids: HCl, HNO 3, H 2 SO 4, HI, HBr, HClO3, HClO4 List of Strong Bases: All group 1 and 2 metal hydroxides Monoprotic Acids: Have one proton that can be donated. Ex. HCl, HNO 3, H C 2 H 3 O 2 Diprotic Acids: Have two protons that can be donated. H 2 SO 4 Polyprotic Acids: Have more than two protons that can be donated. Ex. H 3 PO 4

15. 15 Compare the strengths of two acids in the following reactions. What does the strength of acid have to do with the direction in which this reaction occurs? (Forward reaction is favored, why?) Base 1 Acid 1 HCl(g)+ → Cl - (aq)+H 3 O + (aq)H 2 O (l) Acid 2 Base 2 If strong acid will completely ionize

16. 16 Lewis Acids and Bases In 1923 G. N. Lewis developed a more comprehensive theory of acids and bases. The Lewis theory deals with the way in which a substance with an unshared pair of electrons reacts in an acid-base type of reaction.

17. 17 A Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor. A Lewis base is an electron-pair donor.

18. 18 Lewis Acid Electron Pair Acceptor Lewis Base Electron Pair Donor Electron pair donated to H +

21. 21 HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) → KBr(aq) + H 2 O(l) Reaction with Bases The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. In an aqueous solution the products are a salt and water: 2HNO 3 (aq) + Ca(OH) 2 (aq) → Ca(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2H 2 O(l) acidbasesalt acidbasesalt

22. 22 HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) → KBr(aq) + H 2 O(l) The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. In an aqueous solution the products are a salt and water: 2HNO 3 (aq) + Ca(OH) 2 (aq) → Ca(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2H 2 O(l) acidbasesalt acidbasesalt

23. 23 Salts can be considered compounds derived from acids and bases. They consist of positive metal or ammonium ions combined with nonmetal ions (OH - and O 2- excluded). Chemists use the terms ionic compound and salt interchangeably. Salts are usually crystalline and have high melting and boiling points.
