Acids and Bases Flashcards
acids examples
- hydrochloric acid.
- sulfuric acid.
- nitric acid.
- carbonic acid.
bases examples
- lithium hydroxide
- sodium hydroxide
- potassium hydroxide
- magnesium hydroxide
properties of acids
- react with bases to form water & a salt (neutralizations)
- change color of acid base indicators to litmus red
- reacts with some metals to product H2 gas
dilute acids
have a sour taste
aqueous solutions of are
electrolytes (strong or weak)
properties of bases
- react with acids to form water & a salt (neutralization)
- change color of acid-base indicators to litmus blue
aqueous solutions of bases
taste bitter & feel slippery
acid formula
- acids are a compound that products hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water
- no oxygen present
so formulas of acids usually are in “HX”
- x can be monatomic or polyatomic
- focuses on naming the anion
naming acids
- if anion ends in ide-, acid becomes with hydro-.
suffix of anion changes to -ic and ends with acid - if anion ends in -ite, suffix of anion changes to -ous
ends with acid - if anion ends in -ate, suffix of anion is -ic
ends with acid
name of HBr
hydrobromic acid
name of H2S
hydrosulfuric acid
name of HNO2
nitrous acid
name of H2SO3
sulfurous acid
name of H3PO3
phosphorous acid
name of HNO3
nitric acid
name of H2CO3
carbonic acid
name of H3PO4
phosphoric acid
base formula
- base produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in OH
= if the base is an ionic compound (cation+anion), it is named like any ionic compound
dissociation of water
- “pure” h2o is not really pure
- h2o can disassociate just like ionic compounds in water into H+ and OH-
because water can do this, it plays a large role in acid base reactions
rate of water disassociation
only 1-2 water molecules out of 10 million are disassociated
hydrogen ions in water
- attracted to partial negative charge on oxygen
- form the ion hydronium H3O+
H3O+
H+
(they’re the same)
2 water molecules colliding
H2O+H2O –> H3O+ + OH-
H2O –> H+ +
OH-
self ionization of water
self ionization of water
within liquid water there is ac chemical reaction of water disassociating into H3O+ and OH-
ion-product constant for water (Kw)
Kw = [H+] x [OH-] = 1.0 x 10^14
Kw
KW ALWAYS EQUALS 1.0 x 10^14
the equilibrium constant when water goes through self-ionization
[H3O+][OH-] or Kw = [H+][OH-]
acidic solution example
HCl(g) → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
always:
[H+] is greater than 1.0*10^-7
basic solutions example
NaOH(s) → Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
always:
[H+] is less than 1.0 x 10-7 M
[OH-] is greater than 1.0 x 10-7 M
