  1. Acids and Bases

  2. Acids “ A substance that can dissolve in water form hydronium ions (H3O+)” • Hydrogen is found in all acids • Can be solid , liquid or gas • Can neutralise bases (eg fizz neutralises jelly fish stings) • Corrosive, burn skin, taste sour • Can be synthetic (made from chemicals) & natural / organic (found in nature, contain carbon) • Dilute Acid  a little acid, lots of water • Concentrated Acid  lots of acid, a little water

  3. Bases “Substances which can form hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution” • Can be solids, liquids or gases • They neutralise acids (eg toothpaste neutralises plaque acid) • Dissolve biological material “caustic” (eg grease, dirt  oven cleaner) • Bases soluble in water are called alkalis (feel soapy – turn skin oil into soap)

  4. Common Acids

  5. Common Bases

  6. Explaining Acids & Bases • The special properties of acids are due to hydronium ions H3O+ in aqueous solutions. HCl + H2O  H3O+ + Cl- • Whereas basic solutions contain hydroxide ions: NaOH + H2O  Na+ + OH- NH3 + H2O  NH4+ + OH- Aqueous Solution: Particles dissolved in water

  7. Effect of Acid on Browning on Apples • How was this experiment set up? • What happened? • What do the results show?

  8. Explaining Strength of Acids & bases Original idea: acid particles burn skin because they have sharp stingy spikes. Now we know: • Strong Acids become H3O+ ions easily • Eg HCl becomes mostly H3O+ ( & not much HCl) • Weak Acids don’t become H3O+ ions easily • Eg Acetic acid stays mostly acetic acid ( & not much H3O+) (H3O+ accounts for the properties of acids)

  9. So, conversely: • Strong Bases become OH- ions easily • Eg NaOH becomes mostly OH- ( & not much NaOH) • Weak Bases don’t become OH- ions easily • Eg NH3 stays mostly NH3 ( & not much OH-) (OH- accounts for the properties of bases)

  10. Disappearing Ink Done for you… 1 Make a dilute ammonia solution by adding 4mL of concentrated ammonia to 96mL H2O. 2 Divide into 10mL samples You do… 3 Add a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. 4 Use this to “write” on some paper with a matchstick dabbed in the solution Disappearing Ink - Questions • What pH is the ammonia? • Why does the “ink” disappear? • …spray with NaOH. http://sciencewithtoys.wikispaces.com/Disappearing+ink

  11. Disappearing Ink - Questions • What pH is the ammonia? • Why does the “ink” disappear?

  12. pH • Scale from 0-14 indicating acidity or basicity: 0-3 = strong acid, react fast (eg sulfuric acid) 4-6 = weak acid, react slowly (eg urine) 7 = neutral (eg pure water) 8-11 = weak base, react slowly (eg sea water) 12-14 = strong base, react fast (eg sodium hydroxide) • Most acids found in living things are weak

  13. *The truth about pH • Measures the “power of hydrogen” • Measures how much H3O+ there is • A pH of 3 has 10 times the H3O+ of a pH of 4 • This is why strong acids have a low pH (they have loads of H3O+)

  14. pH of Everyday Substances

  15. Indicators

  16. Indicators “Substances which change colour in solutions of different pH” • Sources: • Plant pigments (eg litmus comes from lichen) • Synthetic chemicals (eg bromothymol blue) • Most indicators have two colours, colour change is reversible • Universal Indicator: a mixture of indicators so that it changes colour many times at many different pHs

  17. Common Indicators(& their colour changes) • Blue litmus • Turns red in acids • Red litmus • Turns blue in bases • Phenolphthalein • Pink above pH 10.0, clear below pH 8.2 • Universal Indicator:

  18. Finding the pH of soil • Method • Why care?

  19. Purple Cabbage Indicator Background: The purple pigment found in purple cabbage is one example of a substance that changes colour in solutions of different pH Aim: To investigate its use as an indicator of pH. Method: 1. Rip up a small amount of cabbage. 2. Heat in 100mL of water until water is dark purple 3. While heating test the supplied acids/bases with pH paper to find their pH 4. Add small samples (a few drops) of the supplied acids/bases to a few mL of purple water in a test tube and note the colour change. 5. Take a photo of your test tube rack clearly showing the range of colours and their pH

  22. Reactions Involving Acids

  23. Acid & Base Reactions(neutralisation) • Neutralisation: when acid and base react & bring their pHs closer to 7 and a salt and water are produced. • If complete neutralisation occurs: • Sour acid taste disappears • Salty taste increases • Indicators show a pH of 7 • Reaction: General: acid + base  salt + water Word: Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide  sodium chloride + water Symbol: HCl + NaOH  NaCl + H2O • How could you prove a salt was made? • Evaporate the water off, look for crystallisation salt crystals (other chemical tests needed to prove the type of salt)

  24. Everyday Neutralisation Reactions

  25. Naming salts: 1st part from the metal, 2nd part from the acid ending pH becomes neutral! Acid + Metal  Salt + Hydrogen Gas • Example Nitric acid + potassium  potassium nitrate + hydrogen gas • More Examples Sulfuric acid + magnesium  magnesium sulfate + hydrogen gas Hydrochloric acid + sodium  sodium chloride + hydrogen gas • Chemical Equation Examples: HNO3 + K  KNO3 + H2 H2SO4 + Mg  MgSO4 + H2 HCl + Na  NaCl + H2 Test for H2: pop! test

  26. Acid & Carbonate Reactions(a type of acid & base reaction) Acid + Carbonate  Salt + Carbon dioxide + water • Example Nitric acid + calcium carbonate  calcium nitrate + carbon dioxide + water • More examples Sulfuric acid + copper carbonate  copper sulfate + carbon dioxide + water • Chemical equation examples: HCl + MgCO3  MgCl2 + CO2 + H2O H2SO4 + PbCO3 PbSO4 + CO2 + H2O Naming salts: 1st part from the metal, 2nd part from the acid ending pH becomes neutral! Test for CO2: bubble through limewater (cloudy = CO2) or lit match extinguishes

  27. ?What is this slide? • Al2(CO3)3 + 6HNO3 2Al(NO3)3 + 3H2CO3 • Al2(CO3)3+ 3H2SO4  Al2(SO4)3 + 3CO2 + 3H2O

  28. Balanced Chemical Equations 1 Can’t change element type (we’re doing chemical reactions, not nuclear so same types of atoms must be on each side of the reaction) AND Can’t get something from nothing (the total numbers of atoms on each side of the reaction must be the same) 2 Problem as 2 x H on the right and 1 x H on left. Can’t make HNO3 become H2NO3 as that’s not nitric acid anymore! HNO3 + K  KNO3 + H2 3 But can have extras of any whole molecule by putting numbers IN FRONT 4 For example, the red two fixes the hydrogen problem (now two on each side, but now have a NO3 imbalance. 5 The green two fixes NO3, and introduces a K imbalance which is solved with the blue two and we now have the same number of each type of atom on both sides. The equation is balanced! 2HNO3 + K  KNO3 + H2 2HNO3 + K  2KNO3 + H2 2HNO3 + 2K  2KNO3 + H2

  29. Try balancing these: The reaction of sodium in water (makes sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas) Na + H2O -> NaOH + H2

  30. Baking Soda + Vinegar • Word: Acetic acid + sodium bicarbonate  sodium acetate + water + carbon dioxide • Symbols: CH3COOH + NaHCO3  NaCOOH + H2O + CO2 • Balanced: CH3COOH + 2NaHCO3  2NaCOOH + H2O + 2CO2
