How do we know if something is organic or inorganic in chemistry?
ORGANIC Contains mainly Carbon & Hydrogen (sometimes also N and O) COVALENT! E.g. CH 4 (methane) C 6 H 12 O 6 (glucose) INORGANIC Contain little or no carbon Contain carbon but no Hydrogen IONIC OR COVALENT E.g. H 2 O, NH 3, CO 2, N 2 O, NaHCO 3
ACID A solution with more H+ ions than OH- ions Properties: pH 0-less than 7 (7= neutral) Contains “H” in formula Releases H+ ions in solutions Conducts electric current Taste sour Touch: will burn your skin Reacts with metals to form Hydrogen gas (H 2 ) Can be neutralized by a base
BASE A solution with more OH- ions than H+ ions Properties: pH greater than >7 Contains “OH” in formula Releases OH- ions in solutions Conducts electric current Taste bitter Feels slippery DOES NOT Reacts with metals Can be neutralized by an acid
Acids and Base are Always in SOLUTIONS dissolved in water aqueous (aq)
ACID OR BASE?

A solution with the same concentration of H+ and OH- ions pH= 7
Measures Acidity (Amount of H+ ions) Normal range is 0-14 pH 7 is basic Neutral pH=7 pH scale is Logarithmic (change in 1= 10 times more e.g. pH4 solution has 10 times more H+ ions than pH5 solution Power of Hydrogen
What is the difference in acidity (H+ ion concentration) between pH 4 and 6? 100 times!! Normal Rain pH=6
Acid rain (pH=4)
What is the difference in H+ ion concentration between a pH 1 solution and a pH 4 solution? ppH1 pH4 Difference of 3 So pH1 solution has 1000 times more H+ than pH 4 solution!!
Chemicals that change colour depending on the pH of solution

METAL OXIDES dissolves in water to form a BASE e.g. Na 2 O + H 2 O NaOH BASE CaO + H 2 O Ca(OH) 2 BASE
NON-METAL OXIDES dissolve in water to form ACIDS e.g. SO 2 + H 2 O H 2 SO 3 ACID SO 3 + H 2 O H 2 SO 4 ACID 2 NO 2 + H 2 O HNO 2 + HNO 3 ACID CO 2 + H 2 O H 2 CO 3 ACID
Taste (you’ve guessed it!) Salty! Conduct electricity when dissolved in water e.g. NaCl (aq) Does not react with metals Does not change colour of indicators Form from acid & base neutralization
ACID + BASE SALT + WATER E.g. HCl + NaOH NaCl + H 2 O Hydrocholric Acid + sodium hydroxide Sodium chloride + Water E.g. 3H 2 SO 4 + 2Al(OH) 3 Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + 6H 2 O
