Presentation Transcript

  1. Acids, Bases, and Solutions

  2. Describing Acids and Bases Details Main Ideas An acid Properties Of Acids • tastes sour • reacts with metals • turns litmus red “Corrosive” – An acid acting on a metal to Eat it away

  3. Corrosion of steel tank car by sulfuric acid

  4. Affects of Acid Rain Statue 1906 before significant acid rain

  5. Affects of Acid Rain Same Statue 1986

  6. Chapter 19. 2 Describing Acids and Bases Details Main Ideas A Base Properties Of Bases • tastes bitter • feels slippery • turns litmus blue An “indicator” is a substance that turns different colors in acids and bases

  7. Properties of Acids Bases in Solutions Details Main Ideas An Acid forms H+ ions in solution with water Atoms in Acids & Bases HCl (in H20) -> H+ + CL- A Base forms OH- ions (hydroxide) in solution with water NaOH (in H20) -> Na+ + OH -

  8. Properties of Acids Bases in Solutions Details Main Ideas pH Scale The pH scale measures the acidity of a solution • pH < 7 is acidic • pH > 7 is basic • pH = 7 is neutral (pure water) If an acid reacts with a base it will form water and a salt

  9. Digestion and pH

  10. Digestion & pH Details Main Ideas Digestion Digestion breaks down complex food Molecules for use by the body These products are used for • Energy (cellular respiration) • Raw material for the body Mechanical Digestion – rips, crushes, grinds and mashes food particles Mechanical & chemical digestion Chemical Digestion – breaks large molecules down to simpler products

  11. Digestion & pH Details Main Ideas Enzymes aid chemical digestion Chemical digestion takes place with the help of “enzymes” Enzymes are “catalysts” – molecules that speed reactions Different enzymes need different pH to operate effectively • Amylase in the saliva breaks down carbohydrate (sugars) @ pH 7 • The stomach’s pH is around 2.0 for digestion of protein using the enzyme “pepsin

  12. Digestion & pH Details Main Ideas Chemical digestion & absorption Proteins are broken down to “amino acids” In the small intestine fluids contain the base HCO3- which creates a basic pH of 8 Digestion is completed in the small intestine and absorption of the products into the blood stream begins

  13. Acids, Bases and pH Details Main Ideas Summary Write a short one paragraph summary of the material in these notes.
