Acids, Bases, & Salts What is an ACID? pH less than 7 Neutralizes bases Forms H + ions in solution Corrosive-reacts with most metals to form hydrogen.
Let’s do some acid (and bases), kids !. 1)Arrhenius Model HF HCl HBr HNO 3 HClO 4 H 2 SO 4 H 2 CO 3 H 3 PO 4 BASE NaOH KOH NH 4 OH Ca(OH) 2 Mg(OH) 2 Al(OH)
The `Inconvenient Truth’ about the Arrhenius model: basic salts EXAMPLE: Na 2 CO 3 (sodium carbonate ) No H + or OH - ….=> salt only CLASSICAL REACTIONs.
