Acids and Bases

Acids and Bases. When a substance dissolves in water it makes a solution. Solutions can be sorted by whether they are: acid, basic (alkali) or neutral. Acids Taste sour Turns litmus red Neutralizes bases Acids are made of one or more H atoms and one negative ion Ex. HCl

  1. Acids and Bases When a substance dissolves in water it makes a solution. Solutions can be sorted by whether they are: acid, basic (alkali) or neutral.

  2. Acids Taste sour Turns litmus red Neutralizes bases Acids are made of one or more H atoms and one negative ion Ex. HCl Produces H+ ions when dissolved in water Are corrosive Bases Taste bitter Turns litmus blue Neutralizes acids Bases are made of metals combined with hydroxide ions (OH-) Ex. NaOH Produces OH-when dissolved in water Feel slippery or “soapy” Are corrosive Acids & Bases

  3. Acids & Bases STRONG vs WEAK _ completely ionized _ partially ionized _ strong electrolyte _ weak electrolyte _ ionic/very polar bonds _ some covalent bonds Strong Acids:Strong Bases: HClO4LiOH H2SO4NaOH HIKOH HBr Ca(OH)2 HClSr(OH)2 HNO3Ba(OH)2

  4. Acids There are many acids present in our everyday lives. Lemon juice contains citric acid, and vinegar contains acetic acid (also known as ethanoic acid). Some strong acids are hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid. Some weak acids are ethanoic acid, citric acid and carbonic acid.

  5. Bases Alkalis are present in many cleaning substances used in our homes. Kitchen cleaners are alkaline because they contain ammonia or sodium hydroxide, which attack grease. Calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide arestrong alkalis. The most recognizable and common weak alkali is ammonia.

  6. Neutralization • Acids and bases (alkalis) react with each other. The alkali cancels out the acid in the reaction. This is called neutralization. A salt is made.

  7. Salts • The salt made depends on the acid and alkali used. • The salt contains the metal atom from the alkali, and the non-metal of the acid molecule. The salts of sulphuric acid are known as sulphates. The salts of hydrochloric acid are known as chlorides. The salts of nitric acid are known as nitrates.

  8. Applications of Neutralization • Insect Stings Bee stings are acidic and can be neutralized with baking soda (bicarbonate of soda). Wasp stings are alkaline and can be neutralized with vinegar. • Indigestion: Our stomach carries around hydrochloric acid. Too much of this leads to indigestion. To cure indigestion, you can neutralize the excess acid with baking soda or specialized indigestion tablets.

  9. Soil Treatment: When soils are too acidic (often as a result of acid rain) they can be treated with slaked lime, chalk or quicklime, all alkalis. Plants and crops grow best in neutral soils. Factory Waste: Liquid waste from factories is often acidic. If it reaches a river it will destroy and kill sea life of many forms. Neutralizing the waste with slaked lime can prevent this.

  10. Indicators Indicators help you find out whether a solution is acidic or not. They change color in acid or alkaline solutions. Different indicators change to different colors.

  11. Universal Indicator • Universal indicator changes color in acids and alkalis. ACIDS ALKALIS Neutral Its color shows the strength of an acid or alkali.

  12. LitmusTest • Litmus is an indicator. It changes color in acid and alkaline solutions. • Litmus is red in an acid. • Litmus is blue in an alkali.

  13. The pH scale 1 – 6 8 - 14 Alkalis 7 Acids Neutral

  14. pH SCALE

  15. pH • Potential of Hydrogen (or power of Hydrogen) • Concentration (measure) of hydrogen ions • 0-14 • Less than 7  acidic • More than 7  basic • [ ]= Molarity/Concentration pH= -log [H+]  [H+]= 10-pH

  16. pOH • Potential of Hydroxide (power of hydroxide) • Concentration of hydroxide ions pOH = -log [OH-] [OH-] = 10-pOH  pH + pOH = 14

  17. pH Calculations pH [H+] pH = -log[H+] [H+] = 10-pH pH + pOH = 14 [H+] [OH-] = 1.0 x10-14 pOH [OH-] pOH = -log[OH-] [OH-] = 10-pOH

  18. Example • What is the pH of a solution if its Molarity is [H+]= 3.0 x 10-5? • What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H+] in a solution with a pH of 3.12? pH= -log [H+] [H+] = 10pH

  19. Example • [ ]= Molarity/Concentration • What is the pOH of a solution that has a .0658 moles of NaOH in 0.156 L of solution? • What is the [OH-] of a solution if the pH is 9? M = moles/ L = [ ] pOH = -log [OH-] pH + pOH = 14 [OH-] = 10pOH

  20. Your turn…. What is the pH of a solution if the [H+] is 2.8 x 10-3? What is the [H+] of a solution if the pH is 3.5? What is the pOH of LiOH if you have 0.45 moles in 0.65 L? What is the [OH-] of a solution if the pH is 5.6? What is the pH if the [OH-] is 4.5x 10-2? pH= -log [H+] [H+]= 10pH pOH = -log [OH-] [OH-] = 10pOH M = moles/ L = [ ] pH + pOH = 14

  21. “How to” guide to calculate Finding [H+] and [OH-] [H+] x [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 M2 [H+] = 1 x 10-14 M2 or [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 M2 [OH-] [H+] Finding pH pH = -log [H+] Ex: find pH if [H+] = 6.70 x 10-7 M In the calculator, enter : - Log 6.70 exp – 7 = ans pH = 6.17

  22. continued How to find pOH pOH = -log [OH-] Example: What is the pOH of a solution that has a [H+] = 3.0 x 10-5M First find [OH-]: [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 M2 [OH-] = 3.33 x 10-10 M 3.0 x 10-5 M In the calculator, enter: - Log 3.33 exp - 5 = ans. pOH = 4.48

  23. continued How to calculate [H+] from pH Take the antilog of the negative pH Example: What is the [H+] of a solution with a pH of 5.25? In the calculator, enter: Shift log - 5.25 = ans. [H+] = 5.62 x 10-6 M Last but not least, remember: pH + pOH = 14
