Acids and Bases
Arrhenius Theory Acids produce H + ions. Acids produce H + ions. Bases produce OH - ions. Bases produce OH - ions. HCl H + + Cl - NaOH Na + + OH - NaOH Na + + OH -
Bronsted-Lowry Theory Acids donate protons Acids donate protons Bases accepts protons Bases accepts protons HCl(g) + H 2 O(l) Cl - (aq) + H 3 O + (aq) HCl(g) + H 2 O(l) Cl - (aq) + H 3 O + (aq) acid base acid base Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid conjugate acid conjugate base
NH 3(g) + H 2 O(l) NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq) NH 3(g) + H 2 O(l) NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq) baseacid conjugate acid conjugate base
Acidconjugate base HClCl - H 2 SO 4 HSO 4 - H 3 O + H 2 O Baseconjugate acid NH 3 NH 4 + H 2 OH 3 O +
Lewis Theory Acids accept an electron pair Acids accept an electron pair Bases donate an electron pair Bases donate an electron pair H H + H H + H N H + H-O-H H N H + OH - H N H + H-O-H H N H + OH - H H
Characteristics of acids Taste sour Taste sour pH from pH from Has H + at the beginning of the formula Has H + at the beginning of the formula Produce H 2 when reacting with most metals Produce H 2 when reacting with most metals Neutralize bases Neutralize bases Conducts electricity (electrolytes) Conducts electricity (electrolytes) Turns litmus paper red Turns litmus paper red
Strong acids ionize completely HCl HBr HBr HI HI H 2 SO 4 HNO 3 HClO 3 HClO 3 HClO 4 HClO 4 The stronger an acid, the weaker its conjugate base and visa versa.
Characteristics of bases Taste bitter Taste bitter pH between pH between Have OH - ion Have OH - ion Feels slippery Feels slippery Neutralize acids Neutralize acids Turns litmus paper blue Turns litmus paper blue

Monoprotic- has 1 H; HCl Monoprotic- has 1 H; HCl Diprotic- has two H; H 2 SO 4 Diprotic- has two H; H 2 SO 4 Triprotic- has three H; H 3 PO 4 Triprotic- has three H; H 3 PO 4
Anhydrides- acids or bases that have had water removed Anhydrides- acids or bases that have had water removed Acidic anhydrides- produce an acid when dissolved in water Acidic anhydrides- produce an acid when dissolved in water Acid rain: SO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) H 2 SO 4 (aq) Basic anhydride- produces a base when dissolved in water Basic anhydride- produces a base when dissolved in water Na 2 O(s) + H 2 O(l) 2NaOH(aq)
Neutralization reactions Always form a salt and water Always form a salt and water Salt- a crystalline compound formed from an acid’s anion and a base’s cation. Salt- a crystalline compound formed from an acid’s anion and a base’s cation.
