11. Properties of Acids
๏Tastes Sour
๏Conducts Electricity
๏The hydronium ions in an acidic solution can
carry the electric charges in a current
๏Corrosive
๏They can break down certain substances. Many
acids can corrode fabric, skin, and paper.

12. Properties of Acids
๏React with metals
๏The solutions of some acids also react
strongly with certain metals.
๏The acid-metal reaction forms metallic
compounds and hydrogen gas, leaving holes
in the metal in the process.

25. Uses of Acids
Hydrochloric acid, which is
known commercially as muriatic
acid, is used in a process called
pickling. Pickling is a process
that removes impurities from
the surfaces of metals.

36. Do you remember the
definition of an acid?

37. Substances that
RELEASE positively
charged hydrogen
ions, H+, in water.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
38. Substances that release positively
charged hydrogen ions, H+, in water.
Acids
Bases
Substances that can accept hydrogen
ions.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
39. When a base dissolves in water,
some hydrogen atoms from the
water molecules are attracted to
the base.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
40. A hydrogen atom in the water
molecule leaves behind the
other hydrogen atom and
oxygen atom.

44. What is left of the H2O is the OH-, which

Wednesday, July 11, 2012
45. Most bases contain a
hydroxide ion, which is
released when the base
dissolves in water.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
46. For example, sodium
hydroxide is a base with the
formula NaOH.
When NaOH dissolves in
water, a sodium ion

47. Properties of Bases
๏Basic solutions feel slippery.
๏Bases also taste bitter.
๏Like acids, bases are corrosive.
Basic solutions contain ions and can
conduct electricity.
๏Basic solutions are not as reactive with
metals as acidic solutions are.

59. a measure of how
acidic or basic a
solution is
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
60. pH
๏The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
๏Acidic solutions have pH values below 7.
๏A solution with a pH of 0 is very acidic.
๏A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral.
๏Basic solutions have pH values above 7.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
62. A change of 1 pH unit represents a tenfold
change in the acidity of the solution.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
63. For example, if one solution has a pH of 1 and
a second solution has a pH of 2, the first
solution is not twice as acidic as the second
—it is ten times more acidic.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
64. To determine the difference in pH strength,
use the following calculation:
10 n,
where
n = the difference between pHs.
For example: pH3 - pH1 = 2
10 2 = 100 times more acidic.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
65. Strength of
Acids and Bases
๏The difference between food acids and the
acids that can burn you is that they have
different strengths.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
67. Hydrochloric acid separates into ions
more readily than acetic acid does
when it dissolves in water.
The more easily a H+ ion is released,
the stronger the acid is.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
68. Therefore, hydrochloric acid exists in water
as separated ions. Acetic acid exists in
water almost entirely as molecules.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
69. More hydronium ions means a stronger-
acid solution. It would have a lower pH
than the weak-acid solution.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
70. The strength of a base is related to
how easily the base accepts H +, or
how easily a hydroxide ion is made,
when the base dissolves in water.

74. the reaction of an acid with a base. It is called this
because the properties of both the acid and base
are diminished, or neutralized.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
75. In most cases, the
neutralization reaction
produces a water and a
salt.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
76. How does
neutralization occur??
๏Recall that every water molecule
contains two hydrogen atoms and one
oxygen atom.
๏When one hydronium ion reacts with
one hydroxide ion, the product is two
water molecules. This reaction occurs
during acid-base neutralization.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
77. How does
neutralization occur??
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
78. How does
neutralization occur??
๏Equal numbers of hydronium ions from
the acidic solution and hydroxide ions
from the basic solution react to produce
water.
๏Pure water has a pH of 7, which means
that it’s neutral.

81. are compounds that react
with acidic and basic solutions
and produce certain colours,
depending on the solution’s
pH.
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
82. Because they are different
colors at different pHs,
indicators can help you
determine the pH of a
solution.

83. When litmus paper is placed
in an acidic solution, it turns
red. When placed in a basic
solution, litmus paper turns
blue.
