ACIDS BASES

 Taste sour (lemons,  Bitter & slippery


etc.) (soaps)
 Litmus is red  Litmus is blue
 Electrolytes if strong  Electrolytes if strong
& soluble
 Arrhenius
 Acid: Substance that, when
dissolved in water, increases the
concentration of hydrogen ions
(hydronium ions H30+).
 Base: Substance that, when
dissolved in water, increases the
concentration of hydroxide ions.
 Brønsted–Lowry
 Acid: Proton donor
 Base: Proton acceptor
A Brønsted–Lowry acid…
…must have a removable (acidic) proton H+.
A Brønsted–Lowry base…
…must have a pair of nonbonding electrons
to accept H+.
...it is amphiprotic.

HCO3

HSO4
H2O
 Monoprotic HCl, HBr, HI
 Diprotic H2SO4
 Triprotic H3PO4
 Water acts as a
Brønsted–Lowry
base and abstracts a
proton (H+) from the
acid.
 As a result, the
conjugate base of
the acid and a
hydronium ion are
formed.
 From the Latin word conjugare, meaning
“to join together.”
 Reactions between acids and bases always
yield their conjugate bases and acids.
 Substances that
increase the
concentration of H+
when dissolved in
water (Arrhenius).
 Proton donors
(Brønsted–Lowry).
 Substances that
increase the
concentration of
OH− when
dissolved in water
(Arrhenius).
 Proton acceptors
(Brønsted–Lowry).
In an acid-base
reaction, the acid
donates a proton
(H+) to the base.
Generally, when solutions of an acid and a
base are combined, the products are a salt and
water.
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq)  NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
When a strong acid reacts with a strong base,
the net ionic equation is…

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq)  NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)

H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) + Na+ (aq) + OH-(aq) 


Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2O (l)
When a strong acid reacts with a strong base,
the net ionic equation is…

 React with carbonates & bicarbonates to
produce CO2(g) [toilet paper canon]

 Reacts with sulfites to produce SO2(g)
Na2SO3 + HCl  SO2 + H2O + NaCl
[SO3-2 + H+  SO2 + H2O]
 Reacts with nitrites to produce NO2 and
NO
KNO2 + HCl  NO2 + NO + H2O + KCl
[NO2- + H+  NO2 + NO + H2O]
 Reacts with sulfides to produce H2S
 Ammonium salt and strong base with
heat will produce NH3
NH4Cl + NaOH  NH3 + H2O +
NaCl
[NH4+ + OH-  NH3 + H2O]
 Bronsted-Lowry: mix acetic acid and
potassium hydroxide
HC2H3O2 + OH-  H2O + C2H3O2-
*such a strong bronsted-lowry base it pulls H+ off the
acid…OUCH!

SAMPLE EXERCISE 4.15 Using Mass Relations in a Neutralization Reaction

How many grams of Ca(OH)2 are needed to neutralize 25.0 mL of 0.100 M HNO3?

Solution
Analyze: The reactants are an acid, HNO3, and a base, Ca(OH)2. The volume and
molarity of HNO3 are given, and we are asked how many grams of Ca(OH)2 are needed to
neutralize this quantity of HNO3.
Plan: We can use the molarity and volume of the HNO3 solution to calculate the number
of moles of HNO3. We then use the balanced equation to relate the moles of HNO 3 to
moles of Ca(OH)2. Finally, we can convert moles of Ca(OH)2 to grams. These steps can be
summarized as follows:
Solve: The product of the molar concentration of a solution and its volume in liters gives
the number of moles of solute:

Because this is an acid-base neutralization reaction, HNO 3 and Ca(OH)2 react to form and
the salt containing Ca2+ and NO3

Thus, Therefore,
SAMPLE EXERCISE 4.15 continued

Check: The size of the answer is reasonable. A small volume of dilute acid will require
only a small amount of base to neutralize it.
