Our body metabolism is carried out by means of _______ secreted in our stomach.
hydrochloric acid
An acid is a the compound which is capable of forming hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solution whereas a base is a compound that forms hydroxyl ions (OH-) in solution.
When an acid and a base react with each other, a neutral product is formed which is called salt.
The word ‘acid’ is derived from the Latin name “acidus”. Which means
Sour taste
Substances with sour taste are called
acids
In 1884, a Swedish chemist ____proposed a theory on acids and bases
Svante Arrhenius
In ______year, a Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius proposed a theory on acids and bases
1884
What happens to an acid or a base in water? Do acids produce ions only in aqueous solution?
Hydrogen ions in HCl are produced in the presence of water. The separation of H+ ion from HCl molecules cannot occur in the absence of water.
All acids contain one or more hydrogens. But all the hydrogen containing substances are not acids.
For essentially example, methane (CH) and ammonia (NH,) also contain hydrogen. But they do not produce H’ ions in aqueous solution
Acids are classified in different ways as given below:
(a) Based on their sources
Organic Acids
InOrganic Acids
Classification of Acids
Based on their Basicity
Monobasic Acid
Dibasic
Tribasic
Acids present in plants and animals (living things) are ____
organic acids.
Example: HCOOH, CH3COOH
Acids prepared from rocks and minerals are
inorganic acids or mineral acids. Example: HCl, HNO3, H2SÓ4
Monobasic Acid: ,
Acid that contain only one replaceable hydrogen atom per molecule is called monobasic acid. It gives one hydrogen ion per molecule of the acid in solution. Example: HCl, HNO
basicity
that refers to the number of replaceable hydrogen atoms present in one molecule of an acid. For example, acetic acid (CH3COOH) has four hydrogen atoms but only one can be replaced. Hence it is monobasic.
acetic acid (CH3COOH) has four hydrogen atoms but only one can be replaced. Hence it is .
monobasic
Dibasic Acid:
An acid which gives two hydrogen ions per molecule of the acid in solution. Example: H2SO4, H₂Co3
Tribasic Acid:
An acid which gives three hydrogen ions per molecule of the acid in solution. Example: H3PO4
Classification of aicd
Based on Ionisation:
Strong Acids
Weak acid
Classification of aicd
Based on concentration
Concentrated
Dilute
Strong Acids:
These are acids that ionise completely in water. Example: HCI
Weak Acids:
These are acids that ionise partially in water. Example: CH3COOH
Concentrated Acid:
It has relatively large amount of acid dissolved in a solvent.
Dilute Acid: .
It has relatively smaller amount of acid dissolved in solvent
Properties of Acids
a) They have sour taste.
b) Their aqueous solutions conduct electricity since they contain ions.
c) Acids turns blue litmus red.
d) Acids react with active metals to give hydrogen gas/
e) Acids react with metal carbonate and metal hydrogen carbonate to give carbon dioxide
f) Acids react with metallic oxides to give salt and water.
g) Acids react with bases to give salt and water.
Ionisation
Ionisation is the condition of being dissociated into ions by heat or radiation or chemical reactions or electrical discharge
Few metals react with acid and liberate do not hydrogen gas. For example:
Ag, Cu.
Sulphuric acid is called King of Chemicals
because it is used in the preparation of many other compounds.
Acid used in car batteries
Sulphuric acid
Hydrochloric acid is used as a
cleansing agent in toilets
Citric acid is used in the preparation of
effervescent salts and as a food preservative.
■_____ is used in the manufacture of fertilizers, dyes, paints and drugs.
Nitric acid
Oxalic acid is used to clean iron and manganese deposits from _____.
quartz crystals
______ is also used as bleach for wood and removing black stains.
Oxalic acid
____ is used in aerated drinks.
Carbonic acid
Tartaric acid is a constituent of
baking powder
