Study Notes
Chapter Overview
- Acids and bases are common substances found in many everyday items.
- The chapter explores the properties of acids and bases and their chemical nature.
- It covers pH and how to calculate the pH of a solution.
Sour Patch Kids and International Spy Movies
- Sour Patch Kids are a candy with a coating of invert sugar and sour sugar.
- Sour sugar is made from citric or tartaric acid and sugar.
- Eating large amounts of sour sugar can irritate the tongue and cause irreversible dental erosion.
Acids - Properties and Examples
- Acids are common in foods like citrus fruits.
- Aqueous solutions of acids conduct electrical current (electrolytes).
- Acids have a sour taste.
- Acids change the color of acid-base indicators (e.g., litmus).
- Acids react with active metals to produce hydrogen gas.
- Acids react with bases to produce a salt and water (neutralization).
Bases - Properties and Examples
- Bases are less commonly used as food, but are present in household products.
- Aqueous solutions of bases are electrolytes.
- Bases often have a bitter taste and are slippery to the touch.
- Bases change the color of acid-base indicators (e.g., litmus).
- Bases do not react with metals in the same way acids do.
- Bases react with acids to produce a salt and water (neutralization).
Molecular Definitions of Acids and Bases
- Arrhenius acids: Produce H⁺ ions in solution.
- Arrhenius bases: Produce OH⁻ ions in solution.
- Brønsted-Lowry acids: Donate a proton (H⁺).
- Brønsted-Lowry bases: Accept a proton (H⁺).
- Conjugate acid-base pairs: Related by the gain or loss of a proton.
Reactions of Acids and Bases
- Neutralization reactions: When acids and bases combine, water and a salt are produced.
- Acid reactions with metals: Produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
- Base reactions with metals: Produce a salt and hydrogen gas (Some bases may also require water).
Acid-Base Titration
- Titration: A process to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.
- Standard solution: A solution with a known concentration used in the titration.
- Indicator: A substance that changes color at the equivalence point (or endpoint).
- Equivalence point: The point where the acid and base have completely neutralized each other.
Strong and Weak Acids and Bases
- Strong acids/bases: Completely ionize in solution.
- Weak acids/bases: Partially ionize in solution.
- Strong acids, bases are listed on table.
- Weak acids and bases are any other compounds.
- Salts of weak acids or bases can affect the acidity or basicity of their aqueous solutions.
Water - Acid and Base in One
- Autoionization of water: Water molecules can act as both acids and bases.
- H2O + H2O → H3O⁺ + OH⁻
- Ion Product Constant (Kw): [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ at 25°C.
The pH and pOH Scales
- pH: A logarithmic scale used to express the concentration of hydronium ions.
- pOH: A logarithmic scale used to express the concentration of hydroxide ions.
- pH = -log[H₃O⁺]
- pOH = -log[OH⁻]
Buffers - Solutions that Resist pH Change
- Buffer: A solution that resists changes in pH when acid or base is added.
- Buffers contain a weak acid/base and its conjugate base/acid.
- Buffers prevent drastic pH changes.
