  1. Acids and Bases Chapter 16

  2. A special solution • Acids and bases are ALWAYS in a water solution. • Your body has water in it so they are always dangerous to living things. • Bases are just as dangerous as acids. • In low concentrations they are not that dangerous and found all over your house.

  3. Aci Re less than 7 sour metals and bases ase lue more than 7 bitter and feel slippery oils and acids Acids and Bases • Although they can be dangerous, acids • and base do not react with or “eat” • everything. • Neither has an effect on glass for example. D B turn litmus paper have a pH taste react with

  4. Acids Vinegar- acetic acid citrus fruits- citric acid carbonated drinks- carbonic acid Your stomach- hydrochloric acid Bases Antacid tablets (calcium hydroxide) Windex- ammonia Oven cleaner- sodium hydroxide Draino – sodium hydroxide Common places to find acids and bases

  5. Homework • Using the litmus paper provided in class check to see if two common items found in your house are acidic or basic. • Report your findings on a piece of paper, and staple the litmus paper with it. • You need to report what the items are and if they are acidic or basic. • Please exercise caution and common sense. Do NOT test anything dangerous!

  6. Definitions • Acid- a proton (H+) donor [force feeder] • Acids produce H3O+ (hydronium) in water • Base- a proton (H+) acceptor [thief] • Bases produce OH- (hydroxide) in water

  7. Heat of solution • Normally dissolving a substance is an exothermic process. • You are normally increasing the state of entropy (measure of disorder) • Which normally means you will release heat. • There are exceptions, dissolving ammonium nitrate is an endothermic process

  8. Always do what you oughta … • Always add acid to water • Dissolving the acid in water releases heat • If you have a lot of acid and a little water on top, the water typically boils quickly causing the hot acid to spray out. • A lot of water on the bottom typically doesn’t boil if the acid is added slowly enough.

  9. Self dissociation of water. • Some water will dissociate itself • H2O +H2O  H3O+ +OH- • in “pure” water you will find • H3O+ has concentration of 1 x 10-7 M • OH- has concentration of 1 x 10-7 M • The product of the conc. of H3O+ and OH- is always 1 x 10-14 [ ]-conc. • [H3O+] [OH-] = 1 x 10-14

  10. pH • In any solution the H3O+ and OH- concentration is always very small. • pH- method of representing the H3O+ concentration in a solution. • pH = -log [H3O+] • So the pH of water is… • pH = - log 1 x10-7 • pH = 7

  11. What is a log • log stands for logarithm • ~we can use them to solve for an exponent. • log xy = y log x • For example log 1 x10-7 = • -7 • the log key on your calculator is log10 meaning it will cancel out a 10^. • To reverse a log10 raise the whole thing to the 10th power (10^), this is an antilog • The reversed pH equation is • [H3O+] = 10^(-pH)

  12. pH values • pH of 7 is neutral- equal [H3O+] and [OH-] • below 7 is acidic, higher [H3O+] than [OH-] • above 7 is basic or alkaline, higher [OH-] than [H3O+]
