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.
