    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)
