Chapter 10 Acid & Base Prepared By, Mrs Yap- Wong Fui Yen
What properties do acids have in common? • Sharp and sour taste. • Corrosive • pH less than 7
What is the meaning of acids? • An acid is a substance that produces ___________ when it dissolve in water. hydrogen ions,H+
without water water • Acids only produce hydrogen ions in water. • Acids only show the properties of acids when they are dissolved in water.
This is because acids ionise in water. add water • It is the hydrogen ions which are responsible for acidic properties.
What is the pH Scale? • A scale which measures the degree of acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. • Ranges from 0 – 14.
pH = 0 1 2 Increasing Acidity 3 Orange Juice 4 Acid Rain 5 Soft drink, Black Coffee 6 Urine Neutral 7 8 Sea water 9 Baking Soda Increasing Alkalinity 10 Soap 11 Ammonia 12 Detergent 13 pH = 14 Sodium hydroxide pH of some common substances: HCL Lemon Juice , Vinegar “Pure water”
pH = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 pH = 14 • Solutions of pH less than 7 is acidic. • The smaller the pH, the more acidic. HCl Soft drink • Solution of pH 7 is neutral “Pure water” • Solutions of pH greater than 7 is alkaline. • The bigger the pH, the more alkaline. Detergent Sodium hydroxide
Common pH indicators: • Universal Indicator • Litmus paper • Phenolphthalein • Methyl orange • Different colours are observed in solutions depending whether it is:- • acidic • alkaline.
Type of Reactions of Acids: ACIDS reacts with 1. Metals 3. Metal Oxides And Hydroxides (Neutralisation) 2. Carbonates
Reaction 1: Acid with metals Acid Metal + Salt + Hydrogen Magnesium ribbon Dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Example: Magnesium + hydrochloric magnesium chloride acid + hydrogen Mg + 2HCl ----> MgCl2 + H2 Test: Use a burning/lighted splinter to test hydrogen gas. Result: A ‘pop’ sound is heard
Reaction 2: Acid with carbonate Acid carbonate salt carbon dioxide + + + water
Example (2a): Word Equation: calcium + hydrochloric calcium chloride carbonate acid + carbon dioxide + water Chemical Equation: CaCO3 + 2HCl CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Reaction 3: Acid with metal oxide/ hydroxide Metal oxide /hydroxide Acid + salt + water copper(II) oxide + hydrochloric copper(II) cloride acid + water CuO + 2HCl ------> CuCl2 + H2O This reaction is also known as “neutralisation”.
Summary (a)Acid and Metal metal + acid salt + hydrogen (b)Acid and Carbonate carbonate + acid salt + water + carbon dioxide (c)Acid and Metal Oxide/ Hydroxide (Neutralisation) acid + base salt + water
Not done yet! So,what are the common alkalis used in our daily life?
What properties do bases have in common? • pH >7 • Bitter taste. • Soapy feeling to the skin.
What is the meaning of bases? • solution of hydroxide ions,OH-are produced when bases dissolve in water. NaOH Na+ + OH- Ca(OH)2 Ca2+ + 2OH –
Is base similar to alkaline? • Most bases are insoluble in water. • Bases that dissolve in water/ soluble are called alkalis.
Bases reactions BASES reacts with 1. Acids (Neutralisation) 2. Ammonium Salts
1. Neutralisation reaction Bases reacts with an acid to produce a salt and water ACID + BASE --> SALT + WATER HCl + NaOH -----> NaCl + H2O
Write a word and symbol equation when sulphuric acid react with sodium hydroxide? H2SO4 + 2NaOH Na2SO4 + 2H2O
3. Alkali reacts with an ammonium salt. Ammonium + sodium sodium chloride chloride hydroxide + water + ammonia gas NH4Cl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O + NH3 • Ammonia gasis produced.
Importance of pH: • pH of soil • pH of tank • pH of food
pH & Agriculture • pH of soil • Excess acid in the soil can be neutralised by adding calcium hydroxide (slaked lime). • Farmers spread calcium hydroxide powder over their fields to neutralise acids.
