    Acids & Bases

    They are everywhere..


    In your food
    In your house
    EVEN IN YOU!!!!!
    What is an acid?
    ▪ An acid is a solution that has an
    excess of H+ ions. It can donate
    Hydrogen ions
    ▪ The more H + ions, the more acidic
    the solution.
    Properties of an Acid
    ▪ *Proton Donor*
    ▪ pH less than 7
    ▪ Tastes Sour
    ▪ Electrolyte in water
    ▪ Corrosive, which means
    they break down certain
    substances. Many acids
    can corrode fabric,
    skin,and paper
    ▪ Some acids react strongly
    with metals
    What is a base?

    ▪ A base is a solution that


    has an excess of OH-
    ions.
    ▪ Another word for base
    is alkali.
    ▪ Bases are
    substances that can
    accept hydrogen ions
    Properties of a Base
    ▪ *Proton Acceptor*
    ▪ pH greater than 7
    ▪ Feel Slippery (soap)
    ▪ Taste Bitter
    ▪ Corrosive
    ▪ Can conduct electricity.
    (Think alkaline
    batteries.)
    ▪ Electrolyte in water
    Acids
    Effects of color indicators
    ● Turns blue litmus paper red
    ● Turns methyl orange, red
    ● Turns phenolphthalein
    colorless

    Bases
    Effects of color indicators
    ● Turns red litmus paper blue
    ● Turns methyl orange, yellow
    ● Turns phenolphthalein pink

    *Remember these*
    Acids - accept electron pair
    Lewis
    Bases - donate electron pair
    Strong Acid Weak Acid

    Strong Base Weak Base


    Acid – Base Reactions

    ▪ A reaction between an
    acid and a base is
    called neutralization.
    An acid-base mixture
    is not as acidic or
    basic as the individual
    starting solutions.
    pH Scale

    ▪ pH is a measure of how acidic or


    basic a solution is.
    • The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
    ▪ Acidic solutions have pH values
    below 7
    ▪ A solution with a pH of 0 is very
    acidic.
    ▪ A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral.
    • Pure water has a pH of 7.
    • Basic solutions have pH values
    above 7.
