Acids, Bases & pH
![Page 2: Acids, Bases & pH. What are Acids? Acids taste SOUR –Lemons, vinegar Compounds that have Hydrogen (H + ) as their cation. Examples: –HCl – Hydrochloric.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081908/56649e165503460f94b00468/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What are Acids?
• Acids taste SOUR
–Lemons, vinegar
• Compounds that have Hydrogen (H+) as their cation.
• Examples:
–HCl – Hydrochloric Acid
–H2SO4 – Sulfuric Acid

Acids Form Hydronium Ions• When acids dissolve in water, their
ions separate. The Hydrogen ion (H+) combines with H2O to form a Hydronium ion (H3O+)
• Acids are PROTON DONORS (they give their hydrogen ion away)
HCl + H2O +H3O + Cl-

More Info About Acids
• Anything with high concentration of Hydronium ion is considered to be an acid.
• Acids turn blue litmus paper RED

What are Bases?
• Bases are bitter and slippery.
• Bases either have Hydroxide (OH-) as their anion OR they will form Hydroxide in solution
• Examples:
–NaOH – Sodium Hydroxide
–NH3 - Ammonia

Bases Form Hydroxide Ions• If the Hydroxide Ion is not already present
in the Base, the base will make the Hydroxide ion by taking a Hydrogen ion from water.
• Bases are PROTON ACCEPTORS (they take a hydrogen ion)
NH3 + HOH (Water)
NH4+ OH-+

More Info About Bases
• Anything with a high concentration of hydroxide ion is considered to be a base.
• Bases turn Red litmus paper BLUE

Can you tell the difference between an acid and a base?
• Let’s do a Lab to find out!

What is pH?• The pH of a solution indicates its
concentration of Hydronium Ions (H3O+) or its concentration of Hydroxide Ions (OH-)
• pH is short for the “power of Hydrogen”
• Something with more (OH-) will be a base
• Something with more (H3O+) will be an acid
• The pH scale ranges from 0-14
![Page 10: Acids, Bases & pH. What are Acids? Acids taste SOUR –Lemons, vinegar Compounds that have Hydrogen (H + ) as their cation. Examples: –HCl – Hydrochloric.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081908/56649e165503460f94b00468/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Scale
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14• In a neutral solution, the pH is 7
– The amount of H3O+ = OH-
• Acids have a pH of less than 7
– The amount of H3O+ > OH-
• Bases have a pH of greater than 7
– The amount of OH- > H3O+
Lots of OH-Lots of H3O+ Neutral

Calculating pH
• Concentration is written as Molarity, or the number of moles per liter of solution
• Example: the Hydronium concentration of pure water is 0.0000001 mol/L or 10-7 M
• This means that in one liter of water, we have 0.0000001 mol of Hydronium ions
![Page 12: Acids, Bases & pH. What are Acids? Acids taste SOUR –Lemons, vinegar Compounds that have Hydrogen (H + ) as their cation. Examples: –HCl – Hydrochloric.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081908/56649e165503460f94b00468/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Calculating pH• pH is the negative of the power of 10
used to describe the concentration of Hydronium ions
• Example:
hydronium concentration of
pure water = 10-7
-(-7) = pH of 7

Small Differences in pH Mean LARGE Differences in Acidity
• Each number on the pH scale is a difference of a factor of 10
• pH of 2 is 10 times stronger than a pH of 3• pH of 1 is 100 times stronger than a pH of 3• Example problem: the pH of apple juice is
3. the pH of coffee is 5. What is the acidity difference?
• There are 2 spaces between 3 and 5. • 102 = 100 - Apple juice is 100 times more
acidic than coffee

Review Questions• Which ions do acids form in solution?
– H3O+
• Which ions do bases form in solution?– OH-
• Classify the following as acidic, basic, or neutral.– Soap (pH = 9)
• basic– Sour liquid (pH = 5)
• acidic– Solution with 4x as many hydronium as hydroxide ions
• acidic– Pure water
• neutral• Arrange the following substances in order of increasing
acidity: vinegar (pH = 2.8), gastric juices from your stomach (pH = 2.0), soft drink (pH = 3.4)– Soft drink, vinegar, gastric juice

• Determine the pH of a 0.0001 M solution of HCl0.0001 = 10-4 -(-4) = pH of 4
• What is the pH of 0.01 M solution of HClO4, perchloric acid?
0.01 = 10-2 -(-2) = pH of 2
• The concentration of hydronium ions in a certain acid is 10000 times the concentration of hydronium ions in a second acid solution. If the second solution has a pH of 6, what is the pH of the first solution?
10000 = 104 4 steps down pH scale 6-4 = pH of 2
• Hand soap has a pH of 10. Drain cleaner has a pH of 14. How much more acidic is the hand soap than the drain cleaner?
4 steps = 104 = 10,000 times more acidic
