pH Scale

The pH scale measures a solution's acidity or basicity. A pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is basic.

Strong acids and bases

Strong acids and bases completely ionize in solution, releasing all their H+ or OH- ions. This makes them highly corrosive and dangerous.

Weak acids and bases

Weak acids and bases only partially ionize in solution, meaning they only release some of their H+ or OH- ions.

Study Notes

Acids and Bases

  • Many familiar compounds are acids or bases
  • Classification is based on chemical composition
  • Identifying acids and bases can be dangerous, never taste or touch
  • pH scale measures strength of acids and bases
    • Acidic solutions have pH values below 7
    • Neutral solutions have pH of 7
    • Basic solutions have pH values above 7
  • pH indicators change color based on acidity/basicity
    • Examples include litmus paper (blue=basic, red=acidic)
    • Different indicators are used for specific pH ranges
    • Natural substances like beets and cabbage are also indicators

Acids

  • Often written with (aq): aqueous solution
  • Typically start with hydrogen (H)
  • Examples:
    • HCl (aq): Hydrochloric acid
    • HNO₃ (aq): Nitric acid
  • Naming acids
    • If it ends in "ide", name becomes "hydro + root name + ic acid"
    • If it ends in "ate", name becomes "root name + ic acid"
    • If it ends in "ite", name becomes "root name + ous acid"

Bases

  • Often written with (aq) for aqueous solutions
  • Often end in hydroxide (OH)
  • Examples:
    • NaOH (aq): Sodium hydroxide
    • Mg(OH)₂ (aq): Magnesium hydroxide
    • Ca(OH)₂ (aq): Calcium hydroxide
    • NH₄OH (aq): Ammonium hydroxide

Production of Ions

  • In solution, acids release H⁺ ions, and bases release OH⁻ ions
  • Solutions conduct electricity due to these released ions
  • High H⁺ concentration = low pH, acidic
  • High OH⁻ concentration = high pH, basic

Properties of Bases

  • Bases tend to taste bitter and feel slippery
  • Many bases are caustic (can burn skin)
  • Bases do not react with metals

Acid-Base Neutralization

  • Reaction between acid and base produces salt and water,
  • Example: HCl (aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl (s) + H₂O(l)
  • General form: HX (acid) + MOH(base) → MX (salt) + H₂O (water)
