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)
