1
+ Acids and Bases
2
+ Examples of Acids?
3
+ Examples of Acids lemon, vinegar, grapefruit. pop Lactic Acid found in your muscles Some animals use acid to deter predators eg. Scorpions spray acetic acid from their glands when frightened.
4
+ What is an Acid? A substance that produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Acid + Water --> H + ions + other ions Common properties: Taste sour Corrosive React with metals
5
+ Examples of Bases?
6
+ Examples of Bases Some common bases are Soap, eggs, baking soda, antacids How do these feel? Lidocaine (local anesthetic used at the dentist) Draino
7
+ What is a Base? A substance that produces hydroxide (OH – ) ions when dissolved in water. Base + Water --> OH – ions + other ions Common properties: Taste bitter Feels slippery
8
+ Mixing Acids and Bases When we mix acids and bases, this is called a neutralization reaction Acid + Base --> water + salts H + (aq) + OH – (aq)
9
+ Can you have stronger acids than others? Is lemon juice a stronger acid than pop? Can we measure this?
10
+ pH Scale A numeric scale that is used for identifying if a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral Typically ranges from 0 to 14 Acidic Solution: pH < 7 Lemon juice pH = 2 Tomato juice pH = 4 Basic Solution: pH > 7 Eggs pH = 8 Soap pH = 10 Neutral Solution: pH = 7 Pure Water
11
+ Identifying Acids and Bases Acid-base Indicators: a chemical that is a characteristic colour when in the presence of an acid or a base Example: Red and Blue Litmus Red Litmus: Stays red in acid, but turns blue in base Blue Litmus: Stays blue in base, but turns red in acid
12
+ Identifying Acids and Bases Phenolphthalein Colourless from pH of 0 to 8, and then pink from pH 8 to 14. Universal Indicator Different colours at different pH values
13
+ Properties of Acids and Bases PropertyAcidBase Taste (CAUTION: Never do this in the lab) SourBitter Touch (CAUTION: Never do this in the lab) Can be corrosiveSlippery Can be corrosive Production of IonsHydrogen ion H + (aq) Hydroxide ion OH – (aq) Reaction with some metalsReacts (and corrodes) them No reaction Electrical Conductivityyes Litmus indicator testBlue litmus turns redRed litmus turns blue pHLess than 7 (<7)Greater than 7 (>7)
