Acids and Bases
Properties of Acids and Bases Tart or sour taste (think of lemons) DO NOT TASTE CHEMICALS! Corrosive to metals React with bases to form a salt and water On the pH scale: acids have a pH less than 7 Litmus paper = RED BASES Bitter taste (think of baking soda) DO NOT TASTE CHEMICALS! Corrosive to organic materials React with acids to form a salt and water On the pH scale: bases have a pH greater than 7 Litmus paper = BLUE Feel slippery Breaking Bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q32LQYCO9AA Fight Club: http://www.flickclip.com/flicks/fightclub.html
Acids Arrhenius Definition: Break apart (dissociate) to yield hydrogen ions (H+) in water (aqueous) solutions HCl H+ + Cl- HNO3 H+ + NO3- H2SO4 H+ + HSO4 - H2O H2O H2O
Naming Acids HCl H2SO3 HNO3 chloride hydro-(stem)-ic acid Anion Ending Anion Example Acid Name Example -ide -ite -ate chloride hydro-(stem)-ic acid hydrochloric acid HCl sulfite (stem)-ous acid sulfurous acid H2SO3 nitrate (stem)-ic acid nitric acid HNO3
Naming Acids Name the following acids: H2CrO4 HF H2CO3 HClO2 CH3COOH Anion Ending Acid Name -ide hydro-(stem)-ic acid -ite (stem)-ous acid -ate (stem)-ic acid
Writing Formulas of Acids Write the formulas for the following acids: Phosphorous acid Anion Ending Acid Name -ide hydro-(stem)-ic acid -ite (stem)-ous acid -ate (stem)-ic acid
Bases Arrhenius Definition: Break apart (dissociate) to yield hydroxide ions (OH-) in water (aqueous) solutions NaOH Na+ + OH- KOH K+ + OH- H2O H2O
Naming Bases Cation name + hydroxide NaOH sodium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 calcium hydroxide NH4OH ammonium hydroxide Cation name + hydroxide
Naming Bases Name the following bases: Ba(OH)2 KOH Al(OH)3 Cation name + hydroxide
More Naming Practice H3PO4 Nitrous acid Mg(OH)2 Hydrobromic acid Name the following acids/bases or write their formula: H3PO4 Nitrous acid Mg(OH)2 Hydrobromic acid Lithium hydroxide H2S Anion Ending Acid Name -ide hydro-(stem)-ic acid -ite (stem)-ous acid -ate (stem)-ic acid
Even More Naming Practice! Identify whether the following are acids or bases. Then name them! Ba(OH)2 2. H2S 3. CH3COOH 4. Fe(OH)2 5. HClO2 Anion Ending Acid Name -ide hydro-(stem)-ic acid -ite (stem)-ous acid -ate (stem)-ic acid
