11. 11 Acids Have a sour taste. Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid. Citrus fruits contain citric acid. React with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. React with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce carbon dioxide gas Have a bitter taste. Feel slippery. Many soaps contain bases. Bases

12. 12 Some Properties of Acids þ Produce H + (as H 3 O + ) ions in water (the hydronium ion is a hydrogen ion attached to a water molecule) þ Taste sour þ Corrode metals þ Electrolytes þ React with bases to form a salt and water þ pH is less than 7 þ Turns blue litmus paper to red “Blue to Red A-CID”

13. 13 Some Properties of Bases  Produce OH - ions in water  Taste bitter, chalky  Are electrolytes  Feel soapy, slippery  React with acids to form salts and water  pH greater than 7  Turns red litmus paper to blue “Basic Blue”

15. 15 Acid/Base definitions Definition #1: Arrhenius (traditional) Acids – produce H + ions (or hydronium ions H 3 O + ) Bases – produce OH - ions (problem: some bases don’t have hydroxide ions!)

16. 16 Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H + (H 3 O + ) in water Arrhenius base is a substance that produces OH - in water

17. 17 Acid/Base Definitions Definition #2: Brønsted – Lowry Acids – proton donor Bases – proton acceptor A “proton” is really just a hydrogen atom that has lost it’s electron!

18. 18 A Brønsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor A Brønsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor acid conjugate base base conjugate acid

19. 19 ACID-BASE THEORIES The Brønsted definition means NH 3 is a BASE in water — and water is itself an ACID

20. 20 Conjugate Pairs

21. 21 Acids & Base Definitions Lewis acid - a substance that accepts an electron pair Lewis base - a substance that donates an electron pair Definition #3 – Lewis

22. 22 Formation of hydronium ion is also an excellent example. Lewis Acids & Bases Electron pair of the new O-H bond originates on the Lewis base.Electron pair of the new O-H bond originates on the Lewis base.

23. 23 Lewis Acid/Base Reaction

24. 24 Lewis Acid-Base Interactions in Biology The heme group in hemoglobin can interact with O 2 and CO.The heme group in hemoglobin can interact with O 2 and CO. The Fe ion in hemoglobin is a Lewis acidThe Fe ion in hemoglobin is a Lewis acid O 2 and CO can act as Lewis basesO 2 and CO can act as Lewis bases Heme group
