1. ACIDS and BASES

2. Facts
For MANY years people have known that vinegar, lemon juice and many other foods taste sour.
It was not until a few hundred years ago that it was discovered why these things taste sour - because they are all acids.

4. Acids: ~taste sour ~release hydrogen ions (H+) in water
~have a pH lower than 7 (1-6)
~the stronger the acid, the LOWER the number on the pH scale
~Ex. HCl (hydrochloric acid)

5. Bases ~taste bitter ~release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water
~have a pH HIGHER than 7 (8-14)
~the stronger the base, the HiGhER the number on the pH scale
~Ex. NaHCO3 (baking soda)

6. ACIDS BASES taste sour, are corrosive to metals, change litmus red,
and become less acidic when mixed with bases
release hydrogen ions (H+) in water
Acids are electrolyte.
Strong acids destroy fabric.
Strong acids cause burn on skin.
feel slippery,
Taste bitter
change litmus blue,
and become less basic when mixed with acids
release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water
They conduct electricity

7. Neutralization- a chemical reaction that takes place when an acid combines with a base.
During this, a salt and water are formed.

8. Chemical and Physical Changes

9. Chemical Change
Change from one substance to another
Burning paper

10. Physical Change
Change is physical or outward appearance. Does not change chemical make-up
Wrinkled paper

11. Chemical Reactions Types
Endothermic-energy absorbed
Exothermic- energy is released

12. Chemical Change Change from one substance to another Evidence:
Burning paper
Evidence:
Bubbles-gas released
Color change
Temperature change-
Precipitant
New substance is made

13. Chemical Reactions Evidence
Temperature Change
Endothermic-energy absorbed-cold
Exothermic- energy is released-warm

14. Chemical Reactions Evidence
Precipitant- solid is formed when two solutions are mixed.

15. Reactants the elements or compounds that are put together to form a chemical change
Na + Cl  NaCl
reactants

16. Products- the end result of reactants coming together Na + Cl  NaCl

17. Rates of Reactions Catalyst- speeds up a chemical reaction
Inhibitor- slows down a chemical reaction (takes longer)
