What is an Acid • An acid is a compound that increases the number of hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. • Hydrogen Ion = H+ • For example when HCl (Hydrochloric ACID)is dissolved in water ….. • You will get H+ion and a Cl- ion. Why ?
H+ Cl- • . H+ H+ Cl- H+ H+ Cl- Cl- H+ Cl- Cl- Cl- H+ H+ H+ ions will bond with H2O to form a molecule called Hydronium. The extraH+ions give a specific solution its acidic properties
Acids in our lives • Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) Anti Oxidant , Immune system ,antihistamine
Carbonic acid H2CO3 When carbon dioxide dissolves in water producing carbonic acid: CO2 + H2O H2CO3 Allows our Bodies to transport CO2 to our lungs
What is a Base • A base is any compound that increases the number of hydroxide ions (OH-) when mixed with water For example NaOH will dissolve in water to create a solution with Basic Properties Na+ OH- Na+ OH- Na+ OH- OH- OH- Na+ OH- Na
Bases are used in soaps Bases are used to make paper, in oven cleaners, and to unclog drains Ammonia is a base and is used in many household cleaners
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. THE PH scale • With the exception of distilled water almost everything is an Acid or a Base. • pH or “ Power of Hydrogen” tells us the concentration of H+ ions in solution.
The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value.
Question #1 • Lemon juice has a pH of 2.2. Is it an acid or a base?
Question #2 • Detergents such as Tide have a pH of about 10. Is Tide an acid or a base?
Question #3 • Seawater has a pH of 8.2. Is seawater an acid or a base?
Question #4 • The inside of your mouth has a pH of 7. Is it an acid or a base?
