Study Notes
Acid-Base Reactions
- Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+).
- According to the Bronsted-Lowry concept, bases accept hydrogen ions (H+).
Neutralization Reactions
- The general equation for the reaction between an acid and a base is: HA (acid) + BOH (base) → BA (salt) + H2O (water).
- Neutralization reactions involve the reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt and water.
Salt Formation and pH
- A salt formed from a strong acid and a strong base will form a neutral solution when dissolved in water.
- A salt composed of the cation of the strong conjugate acid of a weak base will form a basic solution.
- A salt formed from a weak acid and a strong base will form a basic solution.
- The anion from a basic salt will hydrolyze (react with water) as a Bronsted base.
- The ions from a neutral salt do not react with water when dissolved.
pH Effects of Salts
- Salts can affect the pH of an aqueous solution depending on the type of salt.
- Basic salts can increase the pH, while acidic salts can decrease the pH.
