Acids and
Bases
Chapter 15.1
•
•
•
•
•
•
Some common (everyday) Acids
Sour milk= lactic acid
Vinegar= acetic acid
Tart flavor of pop= phosphoric acid
Lemons, oranges, grapefruits= citric acid
Apples= malic acid
Grape juice= tartaric acid
•
•
•
•
Some common Bases
Ammonia for cleaning
Lye= NaOH drain and oven cleaners
Milk of magnesia= Mg(OH)2 antacid
Al(OH)3 and NaHCO3 antacids
Properties of Acids
• Acids taste sour
• Acids effect indicators
• Blue litmus turns red
• Methyl orange turns red
• Acids have a pH lower than 7
• Acids are proton (hydrogen ion, H+) donors
• Acids react with active metals, produce H2
• Acids react with carbonates
• Acids neutralize bases (acid + base = salt and
water)
• Acids conduct electric current
Binary Acids Nomenclature
• Acids always begin with H
• Binary Acids that consist of 2 elements
1.Write hydro
2.Write the 2nd element
3.Change the ending to –ic
4.Write the word ACID
• HF= Hydrofluoric Acid
• HBr
Oxyacid Nomenclature
• Are acids that contain hydrogen, oxygen, and a
third element.
 Never use Hydro
1. Write the name of the polyatomic (pg 210)
2. Change the ending to –ic or –ous (ate -ic & ite
–ous)
1. Write the word ACID
• H2SO4 = sulfuric acid
• H3PO4
Hypo- and PerIn a series of acids
•
•
•
•
HClO = HYPOchlorous Acid
HClO2 = Chlorous Acid (pg 210)
HClO3 = Chloric Acid (pg 210)
HClO4 = PERchloric Acid
Acids you SHOULD know:
Strong Acids
Weak Acids
Sulfuric acid, H2SO4
Hydrochloric acid, HCl
Nitric acid, HNO3
Phosphoric acid, H3PO4
Acetic acid, HC2H3O2
Sulfuric Acid
• Highest volume production of any chemical in
the U.S.
• Used in the production of paper
• Used in production of fertilizers
• Used in petroleum refining
• Used in Automobile batteries
• Thick clouds of sulfuric acid are a feature of the
atmosphere of Venus. (image provided by
NASA)
Nitric Acid
• Used in the production of fertilizers
• Used in the production of explosives
• Nitric acid is a volatile acid – its reactive
components evaporate easily
• Stains proteins (including skin!)
• Used in making rubber, plastics, dyes, and
pharmaceuticals.
Phosphoric Acid
•
•
•
•
•
A flavoring agent in sodas
Used in the manufacture of detergents
Used in the manufacture of ceramics
Used in the manufacture of fertilizers
Not a common laboratory reagent
Hydrochloric Acid
• Used in the pickling of iron & steel
• Used as a cleaning agent, in food processing &
in activation of oil wells.
• Used to purify magnesium from sea water
• Part of gastric juice, it aids in the digestion of
protein
• Sold commercially as “Muriatic acid” Swimming
pools
• Stomach ACID
Acetic Acid
• Used in the manufacture of plastics
• Used in making food supplements Lysine
– amino acid (Jurassic Park)
• Used as a fungicide
• Acetic acid is the acid present in vinegar
Properties of Bases
• Bases taste bitter
• Bases effect indicators
• Red litmus turns blue
• Phenolphthalein turns purple
• Bases have a pH greater than 7
• Bases are proton (hydrogen ion, H+) acceptors
• Solutions of bases feel slippery
• Bases neutralize acids
• Bases conduct electric current
Examples of Bases
•
•
•
•
•
Sodium hydroxide (lye), NaOH
Potassium hydroxide, KOH
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2
Calcium hydroxide (lime), Ca(OH)2
Alkaline basic solutions.
• Arrhenius acid is a chemical that increases
the concentration of hydrogen ions, H+, in
aqueous solution.
• Arrehenius base is a chemical that
increases the concentration of hydroxide
ions, OH-, in aqueous solution.
Strong Acids vs. Weak Acids
• Strong acids are assumed to be 100%
ionized in solution (good proton
donors).
HCl
H2SO4
HNO3
• Weak acids are usually less than 5%
ionized in solution (poor proton
donors).
H3PO4
HC2H3O2
Organic acids
Strength of Bases
• Strong bases are strong electrolytes, just
as strong acids are strong electrolytes.
Chapter 15.2
• Bronsted-Lowry Acid is a Proton
Donors (H+)
• Bronsted-Lowry Base is a proton
acceptor
• Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction
protons are transferred from one
reactant (Acid) to another (base).
Monoprotic acids
HCl
HC2H3O2
HNO3
Diprotic acids
Triprotic acids
H2SO4
H2CO3
H3PO4
• Polyprotic give up more than one H.
• Conjugate base is the species that
remains after a Bronsted-Lowry acid has
given up (loses) a proton.
• Conjugate acid is the species from when a
Bronsted-Lowry bases gains a proton.
HF + H2O
F+
H3O+
Acid
Base
Conjugate Base
Conjugate Acid
Oxides
• Acidic = nonmetals
• Basic= metals
• Amphoteric= metalloids
• MgO
• Al2O3
• CO2
Chapter 15.3
• Neutralization is the reaction of hydronium
ions and hydroxide ions to form water
molecules.
• Salt is an ionic compound composed of a
cation from a base and an anion from an
acid.
• Lewis acid is an atom, ion, or molecule
that accepts an electron pair to form a
covalent bond.
• Lewis base is an atom, ion, or molecule
that donates an electron pair to form a
covalent bond.
• A Lewis acid-base reaction is the
formation of one or more covalent bonds
between an electron-pair donor and an
electron-pair acceptor.
Neutralization Examples
HCl + NaOH
2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2
H2O + NaCl
6H2O + Mg3(PO4)2
