Understanding Acids and Bases: Properties, Definitions, and Neutralization

This overview focuses on the general properties of acids and bases, highlighting their behavior with indicators like litmus, their reactions with metals and each other, and definitions based on different theories. It covers the Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis definitions. Key examples include the formation of hydronium ions and neutralization reactions that produce salts and water. It also explores the pH scale and the biological significance of acidic and basic environments within the human body, including blood and digestive fluids.

  1. Acids and Bases

  2. General properties ACIDS • Turn litmus • React with active metals – Fe, Zn • React with bases BASES • Turn litmus • Feel soapy or slippery (react with fats to make soap) • React with acids

  3. Definitions Arrehenius only in water Bronsted-Lowry any solvent Lewis used in organic chemistry, wider range of substances Acids – produce H+ Bases - produce OH- Acids – donate H+ Bases – accept H+ Acids – accept e- pair Bases – donate e- pair

  4. Examples The hydrogen ion in aqueous solution H+ + H2O  H3O+ (hydronium ion) Arrhenius HCl NaOH Bronsted-Lowry HCl HCN NH3 :NH3 Lewis BF3

  5. Neutralization HCl + NaOH  NaCl + HOH In general: Acid + Base  Salt + Water All neutralization reactions are double displacement reactions.
