Transcript Strong Acid
Chapter 8.3 and
8.4
Acids and
Bases
Acids
Produce hydronium ions (H3O+) or
H+ ions
Properties
sour taste
electrolytes
corrosive (reactivity w/ metals)
reacts w/ indicators
Used to make fertilizers
Common acids
Sulfuric
H2SO4
Phosphoric H3PO4
Nitric
HNO3
Hydrochloric HCl
Carbonic H2CO3
Acetic CH3COOH
Little Johnny was a scientist;
Acids
A scientist he is no more.
For what he thought was H20
Was really H2SO4!
Acids ionize in solution
Red litmus paper stays red
Blue litmus paper turns red
“Blue to Red=Acid”
Acids are defined as proton
donors
Acids
Dehydrating
agent –
removes water (common is
sulfuric acid)
Pickling process – removes
oxides & other impurities
from metal surfaces
(common is HCl)
Bases
Produce hydroxide ions (OH-)
Properties
most crystalline solids
Slippery, bitter taste
corrosive
electrolytes
reacts w/ indicators
Used to make fertilizers
Common Bases
Aluminum Hydroxide
Al(OH)3
Calcium Hydroxide
Ca(OH)2
Magnesium Hydroxide
Mg(OH)2
Sodium Hydroxide
NaOH
Ammonia
NH3
Bases (aka: alkaline)
Bases dissociate in solution
Red litmus paper turns blue
Blue litmus paper stays blue
Phenolphthalein is an indicator
that turns pink in a base
Bases are defined as proton
acceptors
pH
the
Measure
of the
amount of
H3O+ ion
Star Questions
Phenolphthalein
is an indicator
that turns pink in a
Base
Symbol for Hydronium ion
H3O+
What ionizes in solution?
acids
Strong versus Weak
Strong Acid
ionize almost completely
pH range of 0—3
Weak Acid
ionize only slightly
pH range of 3.0—6.99999
Strong versus Weak
Strong Base
dissociate almost completely
pH range of 11—14
Weak Base
dissociate only slightly
pH range of 7.1—11
Neutralization Reactions
Reaction between acids & bases
Products are a salt & water
Acid + Base Salt + Water
HCl + NaOHNaCl + H2O
*Double replacement reaction
Neutralization Reactions
Salts are formed
between an
element in group
1A & 7A
Salts are formed
between a metal
& a polyatomic ion
Common Salts
Sodium
chloride
Sodium Carbonate
Potassium Chloride
Potassium Iodide
Calcium Carbonate
NaCl
Na2CO3
KCl
KI
CaCO3
Soaps, Detergents, Ester
Soaps
– made of fatty acid and
inorganic base, Saponification is
the process of making soap
Detergent
– organic salts, does
not form scum in hard water
(hard water contains Ca, Mg,
and Fe)
Ester – organic compound
formed by the reaction of an
organic acid w/ an alcohol,
responsible for odors & flavors
Star questions
Explain difference btw strong and weak ACID
Strong-ionizes almost completely, weak ionizes
only partially
Name 1 way salts are formed
Either with a metal & a polyatomic ion or btw
elements in group 1A & 7A
Saponification?
What is
Process of making soap
