I looked, but I saw nothing in the NGSS that specifically stated that high school students needed to learn general princples about acids and bases. Gulp™?

SWBAT list the observable properties of acids, bases, and salt solutions.

No, wait, I’m not the corrosive & irritating one. ACIDS and BASES are corrosive and irritating. Okay, well, maybe I am irritating, but I’m not corrosive. Just remember to wear your goggles during labs, okay? And NO CONTACT LENSES on lab days!

How long are you supposed to wash your eyes out if you get acids or bases or anything else in them? According to the Flinn Scientific Student Safety Contract that you should have signed by now...

Too bad we don’t have a second pair of hands on our faces like this. If we did, we could use our regular hands to keep the eyewash handle turned on. Since we don’t have face hands, you’ll need a buddy to keep the eyewash fountains turned on while you hold your eyes wide open with your fingers.

“When acid comes into contact with the body it feels like water. It wets the body and a burning sensation begins that gradually increases in intensity. The patients cry in agony until the chemical is washed away or is neutralized. The affected skin becomes black and leather-like. The chemical also leaves its mark on the healthy skin it trickles over”

BASE ACID

Bases taste bitter. Acids taste sour.

Acids, bases, and salts are all electrolytes, although some are strong and some are weak. electrolyte pure water (a non-electrolyte) (has freely wandering ions) = ?

Acids react with metals, corroding the metals to form salt and hydrogen gas. Acid + metal  Salt + hydrogen gas Acids are typically stored in glass or plastic containers. You’ll probably never see an acid stored in a metal container. Bases can corrode metal too:

Acids are more famous for being metal- destroyers, but bases are known for attacking metal in some cases, also. &feature=youtube_gdata_player Thank you, Roberto Pinzon, for giving me this link.

HS-PS-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.

METAL HYDROXIDES tend to be BASES. Alakali metals react with water to form metal hydroxides. 2Na + 2H 2 O  H 2 + 2NaOH 2Li + 2H 2 O  H 2 + 2LiOH 2K + 2H 2 O  H 2 + 2KOH 2Rb + 2H 2 O  H 2 + 2RbOH 2Cs + 2H 2 O  H 2 + 2CsOH 2Fr + 2H 2 O  H 2 + 2FrOH (?) Q: What is the formula of the hydroxide ion? A: OH - Q: Why do alkali metals form hydroxides? A: Alkali metals have one valence electron, so they like to lose it to empty their outer shell, rendering them positive, which attracts them to negative ions like hydroxide.

ACID + BASE  SALT + WATER (usually) HCl + NaOH  NaCl + H 2 O Acid burn alkali burn fun at the beach!

Q: How do acids and bases taste? A: Acids taste sour. Bases taste bitter. Q: Acids and bases may be opposites, but what do they have in common? A: They are both corrosive and irritating. They are both electrolytes. Q: Why is red the symbolic color for acids and blue the symbolic color for bases in this presentation? A: Acids turn litmus paper red and bases turn it blue. Q: What is produced when an acid reacts with a base? A: Salt and water. Q: What is produced when an acid reacts with a metal? A: Salt and hydrogen gas.

SWBAT Define acids and bases in terms of ion donation and acceptance.

Acid: a substance that gives off H + ions in water. Base: a substance that gives off OH - ions in water. Svante Arrhenius H+H+ OH - H + = “hydrogen ion” OH - = “hydroxide ion” HCl  H + + Cl - NaOH  Na + + OH -

+ H Hydrogen H + When it had an electron, it was a hydrogen atom Now that it’s lost its electron, it has become a hydrogen ion. All that’s left is just a single, lonely proton.

+ H Hydrogen H + = proton

Acid: a substance that gives off H + ions in water. Base: a substance that gives off OH - ions in water. H+H+ OH - H2OH2O Looking at these definitions of “acid” and “base”, one gets the idea that water is “normal”, “neutral”, and “average”, that it is the “middle chemical”. However, I have a nagging feeling that aliens from other planets may not share our view...

My drink’s getting a little low. You got anything to top it off with? No. God no! Are you trying to poison me? Now you’re talking!

Johannes Bronsted Thomas Lowry Acids donate hydrogen ions. Bases accept hydrogen ions. NH 3 is a base, but where’s the OH? NH 3 doesn’t give OH -, but it does take H +. Speaking of ammonia... NH 3 + H 2 O  NH OH -

Honors students, you are required to learn about Lewis acids and Lewis bases on your own (to the degree that we fail to cover it in class).

Q: According to Svante Arrhenius, what is the definition of an acid? A: An acid is a chemical that gives off H + ions in water. Q: What was his definition of a base? A: Arrhenius said a base was a chemical that gave off OH - ions in water. Q: What is the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases? A: Acids give H + ions. Bases take H + ions.

SWBAT Explain how the self-ionization of water relates to K w

Our notions of (at least the older definitions of “acid” and “base”) are prejudiced by the fact that Earth is a mostly water - covered planet and, that, consequently, Earth’s creatures, including people, are made mostly of water.

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - Water molecules are very stable. Nonetheless, every once in a while, a water molecule breaks in two. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions that water breaks into like each other a lot because of their opposite charges, so they get back together again pretty fast. Therefore, the equation for the dissociation of water deserves a double arrow, since it is a reversible reaction.

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - > 99.9% << 1% Because water molecules rarely break, and because they get back together again so quickly when they do break, the amount of broken molecules in a quantity of pure water is very low. The percentages listed here are quite rough. We can be even more precise if we want to.

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - > 99.9% << 1% Because water molecules rarely break, and because they get back together again so quickly when they do dissociate, the amount of broken molecules in a quantity of pure water is very low. The percentages listed here are quite rough. We can be even more precise if we want to.

In pure water, the concentration of broken water molecules is M H+H+ + OH - That’s the same thing as mol/L mol/L = mol/L One liter (L) of water has a mass of 1000 g. The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol. (1000 g)/(18 g/mol) = 55.6 mol, so the concentration of water in water is 55.6 mol/L. (55.6 mol/L)/(10 -7 mol/L) = 556,000,000 In pure water, only one out of every 556,000,000 water molecules is broken.

H+H+ + OH - In pure water, only one out of every 556,000,000 water molecules is broken. That’s about ppm

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - H 2 O + H 2 O H3O+H3O+ + OH -

H2OH2O H+H+ + Equilibrium: when opposite processes occur at equal rates. Amounts of different chemicals are probably not equal to each other. However, at equilibrium, the amount of each chemical does not change as time goes by. Unless disturbed, aqueous (watery) systems, such as a cup of water, an ocean, a car battery, or your bloodstream, will tend reach a state of equilibrium, in which the forward and reverse reactions shown below occur at equal rates. At equilibrium, water molecules fall apart but they come back together again just as quickly as they fall apart.

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - LeChatelier’s Principle If a system is at equilibrium, the amount of each chemical will remain constant as time goes by. However, if a system at equilibrium is disturbed by some kind of stress, the reaction rates will change in whatever way will oppose the effects of the disturbance. If a bunch of molecules are at equilibrium and you disturb them, the molecules will try to undo the work you have done.

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - LeChatelier’s Principle Imagine a bathtub full of water. If not disturbed, it will reach an equilibrium with regard to the above reversible reaction. H + = 3OH - = 3

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - LeChatelier’s Principle However, if you raise the [H+], say, by pouring in some hydrochloric acid, this will disturb the equilibrium. H + = 3OH - = 3 Oh no you di-ent just add more H+! Didn’t you see us being in equilibrium? RUDE! Sa-kurity! 6

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - LeChatelier’s Principle The system will now do whatever it takes to lower the [H + ], to undo what you just did... at least partially... H + = 3OH - = 36

H2OH2O H+H+ + OH - LeChatelier’s Principle The equilibrium, as they say, will “shift to the left”. Why? The forward reaction creates H+, but the reverse reaction (going to the left) uses up H+, turning it into water. H + = 3OH - = Did you notice that by adding H+, you made OH- decrease?

It is generally true that if you make [H + ] increase, you will cause a decrease in [OH - ]. This is expressed mathematically by the following equation: [H + ][OH - ] = M 2 If two numbers always multiply to give the same result, then when one of the two numbers gets bigger, the other must get smaller. Take the following example: 1 x 24 = 24 2 x 12 = 24 3 x 8 = 24 4 x 6 = 24 6 x 4 = 24

It is generally true that if you make [H + ] increase, you will cause a decrease in [OH - ]. This is expressed mathematically by the following equation: [H + ][OH - ] = M 2 Now try some acid-base examples. These examples could be any aqueous (watery) system. If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = 1M, then [OH-] = M 1 x 24 = 24 2 x 12 = 24 3 x 8 = 24 4 x 6 = 24 6 x 4 = 24

SWBAT use the pH system to characterize acid, base, and salt solutions.

Click the link below to an FDA web page listing pH’s of different foods. According to this web page, what is the overwhelming tendency for the pH of foods? Foods tend to be... food-ph-d_403.html

“pH” stands for “potential hydrogen”. (maybe) pH is a weird, numerical way of showing the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. Mathematically, pH = -log[H + ] That’s slightly confusing even if you know what logs are.... the esoteric version...

log(1000) = 3 log(10) = 1 log(1,000,000) = 6 log(100) = 2 log(50) = log(0.1) = -1 log(1) = 0 log(0.0001) = - 4 log(10 13 ) = 13 log(10 -5 ) = -5 log(10 n ) = n

Let’s give an example of pH: normal water. In normal water, the hydrogen ion concentration is M. In other words, [H + ] = M. Since pH = -log[H + ]... The pH of normal water would be 7.

In sea water, however, the pH is 8. What would the hydrogen ion concentration be in sea water? In sea water, [H + ] = M. That’s a little more basic than pure water.

Car batteries are filled with very dangerous sulfuric acid. In battery acid, one of the most corrosive acids there is, the hydrogen ion concentration is about 1M. H 2 SO 4 In battery acid, the pH is = 10 0, so...

Lemon juice is one of the most acidic foods you can eat. In lemon juice, the hydrogen ion concentration is about M. In lemon juice, the pH is... 2 That’s not as strong as battery acid, but it can still rot your teeth.

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base. In a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, the hydrogen ion concentration can be about M. In such a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide, the pH is It’s also known as “lye” and turns fat into soap, which makes it a handy drain opener.

A typical pH for vinegar is 3. What would the hydrogen ion concentration be in vinegar? In vinegar, [H + ] = M. That’s not quite as acidic as lemon juice or battery acid, but that’s still pretty sour.

H+H+ High [H + ] Low pH Low [H + ] High pH

OH - High [OH - ] Low pOH Low [OH - ] High pOH

It is generally true that if you make [H + ] increase, you will cause a decrease in [OH - ]. This is expressed mathematically by the following equation: [H + ][OH - ] = M 2 Now, just for fun and review, tell me the pH for each of the following solutions, and tell me if it’s acid, base, or neutral. If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = M, then [OH-] = M If [H+] = 1M, then [OH-] = M pH = 3 (acid) pH = 12 (base) pH = 1 (acid) pH = 7 (neutral) pH = 0 (acid)

If the pH of a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution is 14, Then the pOH is... Low pH = acid (<< 7) pH + pOH = 14 pH of 7 = neutral (like water) High pH = base (>7) zero High pOH Medium pOH Low pOH

H+H+ OH - H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ High [H + ] or low [H + ]? High [OH - ] or low [OH - ]? High pH or low pH? High pOH or low pOH? Acid, base or neutral? Example #1

OH - H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ High [H + ] or low [H + ]? High [OH - ] or low [OH - ]? High pH or low pH? High pOH or low pOH? Acid, base or neutral? OH - Example #2

OH - H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ High [H + ] or low [H + ]? High [OH - ] or low [OH - ]? High pH or low pH? High pOH or low pOH? Acid, base or neutral? OH - H+H+ medium = 7 medium = 7 Example #3

Q: What is the mathematical definition of pH? A: pH is -1 times the log of hydrogen ion concentration. In other words, pH = -log[H + ] Q: What kinds of materials have what kinds of pH’s? A: Acids have pH’s less than 7, bases higher than 7, neutral materials (like pure water) equal to 7. Q: What is the relationship between pH and pOH? A: pH + pOH = 14; low pH means high pOH & vice versa. Q: What is “[H + ]”? A: [H + ] = hydrogen ion concentration, in mol/L Q: What kinds of pH’s do you get when [H + ] is low and when [H + ] is high? A: Low [H + ]  high pH. High [H + ]  low pH.

SWBAT define what “strong” and “weak” mean when used to describe acids and bases.

Cl H + - H + - H + - H + - H + - H + - H + - Every single HCl molecule that enters the water splits up into ions. Therefore, HCl is considered to be a “strong” acid.

NH 3 is a base. According to Arrhenius, though, it can’t be a base. Why? It has no OH to give off. But all experimental evidence shows that ammonia is a base. ???!!! NH 3 + H 2 O  NH OH - NH 3 is a gas when pure, but, it dissolves in water very readily. When it does, some of the ammonia molecules even steal protons from water! Stealing protons is the opposite of giving protons, so ammonia is the opposite of an acid. Ammonia is a base. Ammonia is a weak base.

A triprotic acid has three. Q: When you see “COOH” in a formula, what does this indicate? A: The chemical is a weak acid. Q: What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid? A: Strong acids completely dissociate in water. Weak acids do not. (Same thing for strong vs weak bases.) Q: How many strong acids are there? Name them. A: Six: HCl, HBr, HI, H 2 SO 4, HNO 3, HClO 4.
