Properties of Acids and Bases
ESSENTIAL IDEA
The characterization of an acid depends on
empirical evidence such as the production of
gases in reactions with metals, the color
change of indicators or the release of heat in
reactions with metal oxides and hydroxides.
NATURE OF SCIENCE (1.9)
Obtaining evidence for theories – observable properties of
acids and bases have led to the modification of acid-base
theories.
ACIDS
Tart or sour taste
Aqueous solutions are electrolytes
Cause indicators to change colors
React with bases to produce salt and H2O
Produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in H2O
Naming acids
HX (hydrogen and mono or polyatomic ion)
