Study Notes

Organic and Mineral Acids

  • Organic acids are composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O)
  • Mineral acids are extracted from minerals
  • Examples of pure mineral acids include HCl, H₂SO₄, and HNO₃

Acid Characteristics

  • Acids have a sour taste.
  • Acids are electrolytes, meaning they contain delocalized electrons after dissolving in water.
  • Dilute acids turn blue litmus paper red.

Acid Reactions with Metals

  • Reaction 1: Acids react with metals to produce salts and hydrogen gas.
  • The reaction equation is: Acid (aq) + Metal (s) → Salt (aq) + Hydrogen gas (g)
  • Example: HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
  • Observable changes: Metal dissolves and colorless gas bubbles form. The test tube becomes warm.
  • Hydrogen gas can be tested by collecting it (displacing water) and observing if it burns. This reaction condition is important.

Acid Reactions, continued

  • Reaction with Metal Oxides/Hydroxides (Neutralization):
    • Acid + Metal oxide/hydroxide → Salt + Water
    • Observable changes for solids: The solid base dissolves (if solid). The test tube becomes warmer.
    • General equation: H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O
  • Reaction with Carbonates/Bicarbonates:
    • Acid + CO₃/HCO₃⁻ → Salt + H₂O + CO₂
    • Observable changes: Colorless gas bubbles form, and the metal carbonate/bicarbonate dissolves (if metal).

Experimental Setup for Gas Collection

  • To collect a gas produced by an acid reaction, an inverted funnel is used.
  • The inverted funnel increases the surface area and prevents the gas from escaping back into the solution.
  • A stopper secures the setup for gas collection.

Acidic Properties of Water

  • Water allows pure acids to become ionized molecules.
  • Ionization occurs when pure acid dissolves in water, causing the molecules to form H⁺ ions.
  • The H⁺ ions are responsible for the acidic properties of aqueous solutions.
