Some of our favorite foods make our tongue curl up because they are SOUR.

Acids and BasesAcids and Bases

Bitter!

Some foods have a “bite” of their own because they’re somewhat bitter.

WHY?

Acidic/Basic

There is a scientific reason for this:

These foods are either acidic or basic.

Other substances besides foods have these characteristics.

Acids and BasesAcids and BasesChemicals may be classed as acids or bases.

Things that are neither acids nor bases are neutral.

pH measures how acidic or basic a solution is.

AcidsOften taste sour

Strong acids can burn skin & eyes

Strong acids can dissolve metals

Examples:Lemon juiceVinegarCar battery acid (dangerous!)

BasesCan taste bitter, sweetish, or saltyStrong bases can burn skin & eyesBases react more easily with protein than with metal; they are often used for cleaningExamples: Milk Baking soda Soap Drain cleaner (dangerous!)

Some substances are not really an acid or a base: For example, pure water

Acids are easy to recognize as compounds as they begin with the element hydrogen. As with other ionic bonds, acids fall into 2 categories, binary and ternary.

Examples of binary acids would include things like:

HF, HI, H2S and HCl

Examples of ternary acids would include things like:

H2SO4 and HNO3

Naming of binary acids

Step 1:Name the anion, changing the ending to “-ic”

Step 2: Add the prefix “hydro-”

Step 3: Slap acid on the end

pH Scale

We use this scale to measure the strength of an acid or base.

pH is defined as the –log[H+]

pH can use the concentration of hydronium ions or hydrogen ions.

The pH ScalepH scale ranges from 0 -14

pH 7 is neutral; neither acid nor base

Pure water is pH 7

Low pH (0-6.9) = acid

High pH (7.1-14) = base

The closer to the ends of the scale, the stronger the solution is

Acid

Any substance which has a pH of value of less than 7 is considered an acid

0--------------7---------------14

Acid Neutral Base

Base

Any substance which has pH value greater than 7 is a base

Acid Neutral Base

pH 7

A pH of 7 is called neutral—neither acid nor base.

Careful measurement is important

A mistake of one pH unit means 10 times too much or too little!

How Do We Measure pH?

One way to measure pH is by using special strips of paper called pH paper

How Does It Work?The paper is treated with chemicals (indicators) that change color to show the pH.When the paper touches the substance being tested, it turns a specific color to tell if the substance is an acid or a base.

To Use pH PaperPlace the edge of the pH paper into the mixture.Observe the color change of the pH paperMatch the resulting color to the colors listed on the outside of the pH paper package.The colors match with a correlated pH number.The number is the pH value of the sample.

A)The Oldest Theory is the Arrhenius Theory

Historical views on acidsHistorical views on acids

Arrhenius looked at the substances which were called acids. Some of these substances were known from even before the days of alchemy.

They taste sour, turn blue litmus to red, neutralize bases, release hydrogen gas when added to an active metal and release carbon dioxide when added to a carbonate.

Arrhenius said these properties were due to the production of H+ ions when acids dissolve in water.

He looked at the properties of bases. They taste bitter, feel slippery (soapy), turn red litmus blue and neutralize acids.

Arrhenius said these properties were due to the production of OH- ions when bases are dissolved in water.

• O2 found in oxyacids (e.g. H2SO4) was originally thought to cause acidic properties. Later, H2 was implicated, but it was still not clear why CH4 was neutral.

• Arrhenius made the revolutionary suggestion that some solutions contain ions & that acids produce H2

+ ions in solution.

Historical views on acidsHistorical views on acids

• The more recent Bronsted-Lowry concept is that acids are H+ (proton) donors and bases are proton acceptors

The Bronsted-Lowry conceptThe Bronsted-Lowry concept• In this idea, the ionization of an acid by water

is just one example of an acid-base reaction.

• Acids and bases are identified based on whether they donate or accept H+.

• “Conjugate” acids and bases are found on the products side of the equation. A conjugate base is the same as the starting acid minus H+.

Today we know that a bare proton does not exist in water, it forms a chemical bond with a water molecule forming the H3O+. This ion is called the hydronium ion.

Reaction Types

Neutralization Reaction – a special double replacement reaction in which an acid is combined with a base and yields water and a salt.

HHClCl ++ NaNaOHOH NaNaClCl ++ HH22OOHHClCl ++ NaNaOHOH NaNaClCl ++ HH22OO

TitrationsIn a titration a solution of accurately known concentration is added gradually added to another solution of unknown concentration until the chemical reaction between the two solutions is complete.

Equivalence point – the point at which the reaction is neutral

Indicator – substance that changes color at (or near) the equivalence point

Slowly add baseto unknown acidUNTIL the indicatorchanges color

End point – the point at which the reaction becomes complete
