Title: Acids and Bases


1
Acids and Bases
2
Acids
Have a sour taste. Vinegar is a solution of
acetic acid. Citrus fruits contain citric acid.
React with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas.
React with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce
carbon dioxide gas
Bases
Have a bitter taste.
Feel slippery. Many soaps contain bases.
3
Some Properties of Acids
  • Produce H (as H3O) ions in water (the
    hydronium ion is a hydrogen ion attached to a
    water molecule)
  • React with bases to form a salt and water
  • Corrode metals
  • Electrolytes
  • Taste sour
  • pH is less than 7
  • Turns blue litmus paper to red
  • Blue to Red A-CID

4
Some Properties of Bases
  • Produce OH- (hydroxyl) ions in water
  • Taste bitter, chalky
  • Are electrolytes
  • Feel soapy, slippery
  • React with acids to form salts and water
  • pH greater than 7
  • Turns red litmus paper to blue
  • Basic Blue

5
The pH scale is a way of expressing the strength
of acids and bases. pH can be viewed as an
abbreviation for power of Hydrogen - or more
completely, power of the concentration of the
Hydrogen ion. 0 - 7 acid 7 neutral
7 14 base
6
pH of Common Substances
pH paper will indicate the pH of a substance by
the color it changes in a solution

    or B) base
  • ____ 1. Sour taste
  • ____ 2. Produces OH- in aqueous solutions
  • ____ 3. Chalky taste
  • ____ 4. Is an electrolyte
  • ____ 5. Produces H in aqueous solutions
