Study Notes

Properties of acids

  • Acids have pH values below 7.
  • Acids taste sour when edible.
  • Acids are corrosive.
  • Acids neutralize bases by producing salt and water.
  • Acids in water produce positively charged hydrogen ions (H+).
  • The presence of H+ ions makes a solution acidic.
  • Hydrochloric acid dissociates into H+(aq) and Cl-(aq) when in water.

Acids and metals

  • Only metals above hydrogen on the reactivity series react with dilute acids.
  • Acids react with metals to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
  • acid + metal -> salt + hydrogen
  • The name of the salt produced is determined by the anion in the acid used.
  • Hydrochloric acid produces Magnesium chloride and hydrogen, the equation for the reaction is: Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2.
  • Sulfuric acid produces Magnesium sulfate and hydrogen, the equation for the reaction is: Mg + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2.
  • Nitric acid produces Magnesium nitrate and hydrogen, the equation for the reaction is: Mg + 2HNO3 -> Mg(NO3)2 + H2.

Acids with bases

  • Metal oxides and metal hydroxides (alkalis) act as bases.
  • Acids and bases neutralize each other.
  • Neutralization produces salt and water.
  • acid + base -> salt + water
