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 + NaOHNaCl + 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
