Acids and bases have distinct properties that define their behavior and applications. Acids typically taste sour, feel itchy on the skin if concentrated, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases, on the other hand, taste bitter, feel slippery, and turn red litmus paper blue. Understanding how to name acids is essential, with binary acids named using "hydro" plus the second element and ternary acids named based on their oxygen content. This guide covers the fundamental properties and naming conventions for acids and bases to enhance your chemistry knowledge.

Acids & Bases Their Properties Naming Guidelines
Properties of Acids • Taste sour • Itchy on skin, will burn if concentrated • Turns Blue litmus paper Red • Red litmus paper stays Red Neutralization: Acid + Base Salt + Water Ex: Vinegar, Citrus Fruit
Properties of Bases • Taste Bitter • Feel Slippery • Turns Red litmus paper Blue • Blue litmus paper stays Blue • Reacts with Acid in same neutralization Ex: Soap, Milk of Magnesia, Most Cleaners
Naming Acids Binary Acids: • Contain “H” and one other element To Name: Hydro + second element name + ic + Acid Ex: HCl = Hydro chlorine – ine + ic Acid Hydrochloric Acid HF = Hydroflouric Acid
Naming Acids (cont.) Ternary Acids: • Contain “H”, “O” and one more element To Name: 3rd element name + ic + Acid Ex: HNO3 =Nitrogen – ogen + ic + Acid Nitric Acid HClO3 = Chloric Acid
Naming Acids (cont.) • If the Acid has one more Oxygen than the base acid, the naming goes as followed: To Name: Per + 3rd element + ic + Acid Ex: HNO4 = Per + Nitrogen – ogen + ic + Acid Pernitric Acid H2SO5 = Persulfuric Acid
Naming Acids (cont.) • If the Acid has one less Oxygen than the base acid, the naming goes as followed: To Name: 3rd element + ous + Acid Ex: HNO2 = Nitrogen – ogen + ous + Acid Nitrous Acid H2SO3 = Sulfurous Acid
Naming Acids (cont.) • If the Acid has two less Oxygens than the base acid, the naming goes as followed: To Name: Hypo +3rd element + ous + Acid Ex: HClO = Hypo +chlorine –ine + ous + Acid Hypochlorous Acid HNO = Hyponitrous Acid
Naming Bases • Name the metal first • Add Hydroxide Ex: NaOH = Sodium Hydroxide KOH = Potassium Hydroxide
