Acids, Bases and pH
2
1. Acids Any compound that GIVES OFF H+ ions in solution Any compound that GIVES OFF H+ ions in solution Ex. HCl H+ and Cl- Ex. HCl H+ and Cl- Traits: Traits: Sour Sour ex. Juices, vinegar, HCl ex. Juices, vinegar, HCl Add water
3
2. Bases Any compound that GIVES OFF OH- ions in solution Any compound that GIVES OFF OH- ions in solution Ex. NaOH Na+ and OH- Ex. NaOH Na+ and OH- Traits: Traits: Slippery Slippery Ex. Soaps, detergent, ammonia Ex. Soaps, detergent, ammonia Add water

3. Neutralization Equal amounts of acid and base together Equal amounts of acid and base together Acid (H+) Acid (H+) + Base (OH-) + Base (OH-) HOH = HO HOH = H 2 O A’s and B’s make salts when you have same amounts A’s and B’s make salts when you have same amounts Ex. Ex. HCl (Hydrochloric acid) + NaOH (Sodium hydroxide) H 2 O (water) + NaCl (table salt)

4. BUFFERS prevent sudden pH change substances that react with strong acids or bases to prevent sudden pH change What do you take when stomach is upset?? (HINT: What digestive factor is in the stomach??) What do you take when stomach is upset?? (HINT: What digestive factor is in the stomach??) Antacids (made of calcium carbonate…a weak base!) Antacids (made of calcium carbonate…a weak base!)

5. pH scale measures the concentration strength of acids and bases. –pH 0-6.9 = acid Strong acids 1-3 –pH 7.1-14 = base Strong base pH 11 - 14 –pH 7 = neutral (water ) VIDEO: (3:49) http://www.brainpop.com/science/matterandchemistry/phscale/
