Acids, Bases, and Salts All ionic compounds can be classified as one of these three. All are types of electrolytes (conduct electricity in aqueous solutions) Acids and bases are found many places in everyday life: Acids: lemon juice, car batteries, vinegar, orange juice Bases: ammonia, lye, blood
Acids Taste sour Begin with H Found in many foods and drinks Turn blue litmus paper red pH 0-6.9 Corrosive react with metals to generate H2(g) react with metal oxides and hydroxides to form salts and water Forms H+ (or H30+)ions in solutions Hydrogen Hydronium
Bases Bitter Normally end in OH Turn red litmus paper blue pH 7.1-14 Found in many cleaning products Slippery Corrosive react with acids to form salts and water Forms OH- ions in solution Hydroxide
Acids and Bases Neutral: H+ = OH- Acidic: H+ > OH- Basic: H+ < OH- ↑H+ = ↓OH- = more acidic = ↓ pH ac idic ↓H+ = ↑OH- = more basic = ↑ pH

Arrhenius Swedish Chemist Svante Arrhenius created a model for acids and bases in 1883. acids are anything that generate H+ in aqueous solutions, while bases produce OH- in aqueous solutions
Arrhenius Model- Acid H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) HCl (g) Acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes to produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution.
Arrhenius Model- Base NaOH (s) Na+(aq) + OH- (aq) Base is a substance that contains a hydroxide group and dissociates to produce a hydroxide ion in aqueous solution. NaOH (s) Na+(aq) + OH- (aq)
Bronsted- Lowry Model Danish chemist Bronsted and English chemist Lowry proposed a model that focuses on the Hydrogen Ion An Acid is a hydrogen-ion donor A Base is a hydrogen-ion acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base Theory weak acids have strong conjugate bases weak bases have strong conjugate acids primary reason they are weak acids or bases: strong conjugates recombine to form the original species Water can be either an acid or base in Bronsted-Lowry theory It is both amphiprotic and amphoteric amphiprotic ~ can donate or accept a proton amphoteric ~ a substance that can be either an acid or a base. 12 13
Ionization The Bronsted-Lowry Model also shows if and acid or base is strong based on ionization. Strong acid- completely ionized Weak acid- partial ionization aqueous solutions of strong acids, weak acids, strong bases, and weak bases conduct electricity
Differences between Arrhenius & Bronsted-Lowry theories Reaction does not have to occur in an aqueous solution bases do not have to be hydroxides ~ ammonia is not a hydroxide
Strength and Concentration Strength – how completely it ionizes Strong – ionizes completely or almost completely Weak – ionizes partly Concentration Concentrated - a lot of acid/base in water. Dilute – a little acid/base in water.
12 M HCl is a strong acid with a high concentration Adding 6L of water to this solution would do what to the solution: strong acid, dilute solution Vinegar has acetic acid, which is weak, in low concentration = dilute 12 M acetic acid would still be weak, because it only partially ionizes, but it would be a concentrated solution, because there is a lot of acid dissolved in a little water.
List of Strong Acids and Bases strong acids - ionize 100% in water HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO4, HClO3 strong bases - ionize 100% in water LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, (all Group 1A) Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2, Ra(OH)2 (some from Group 2A)
Strong Acids Since strong acids are completely ionized they produce the maximum number of ions. Strong acids are good conductors Reaction only moves in one direction, represented with an arrow in one direction.
HCl H+ + Cl- HBr H+ + Br – H2SO4 H+ + HSO4 -
Weak Acids An acid that ionizes partially in dilute aqueous solutions Produce fewer ions, so they are poor conductors Reactions move both directions until equilibrium is reached, represented by an arrow in both directions
