    Acid and Base

    Uploaded by

    Acids and bases are found everywhere, from food to household products. They are essential to life and many natural and industrial processes. An acid is a solution with excess hydrogen ions, having properties of being sour, corrosive, and turning litmus paper red. A base is a solution with excess hydroxide ions, having slippery and bitter properties and turning litmus paper blue. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a solution is from 0-14, with acids being below 7 and bases above 7. Neutral solutions have a pH of 7.

    Acids and bases are important compounds found in many products and processes in daily life. They are defined by their properties such as taste and effect on litmus paper as well as how many hydrogen or hydroxide ions they contain as measured by pH.

    Acids and bases are compounds that contain excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions respectively. Acids are sour and corrosive while bases are slippery and bitter. They are found in foods, cleaning products and are essential for life processes.

    Acids are sour, corrosive and turn litmus paper red while bases are slippery, bitter and turn litmus paper blue. Acids have excess hydrogen ions and bases have excess hydroxide ions.

    Acids & Bases

    They are everywhere..


    In your food
    In your house
    EVEN IN YOU!!!!!
    Where do we find Acids and Bases?

     They are compounds...


    that are fundamental to the functioning of
    our world. – we need them!

     They are essential to Life;

     They are responsible for many, many


    processes in nature;

     They are important in may products and


    processes we have come to expect in our
    daily lives.

    What is an acid?

     An acid is a solution that has an


    excess of Hydrogen (H+ ions).

     The more H+ ions, the more


    acidic the solution.
    Properties of an Acid

     Tastes Sour
     Conducts Electricity
     Corrosive; (they break
    down certain substances.
    Many acids can corrode
    fabric, skin,and paper).
     Some acids react
    strongly with metals.

     Turns blue litmus


    paper red
    Uses of Acids
     Acetic Acid = Vinegar

     Citric Acid = lemons, limes, &


    oranges. It is in many sour
    candies such as lemonhead &
    sour patch.

     Ascorbic acid = Vitamin C


    which your body needs to
    function.

     Sulfuric acid is used in the


    production of fertilizers, steel,
    paints, and plastics.

     Car batteries
    What is a base?
     A base is a solution that has
    an excess of OH- ions.

     Another word for base is


    alkali.

     Bases are substances


    that can accept
    hydrogen ions

     H + OH = ________
    Properties of a Base
     Feel Slippery

     Taste Bitter

     Corrosive

     Can conduct electricity.


    (Think alkaline batteries.)

     Do not react with metals.

     Turns red litmus


    paper blue.
    Uses of Bases

     Bases give soaps, ammonia,


    and many other cleaning
    products
     The OH- ions interact strongly
    with certain substances, such
    as dirt and grease.
     Chalk and oven cleaner are
    examples of familiar products
    that contain bases.
     Your blood is a basic solution.

    So how can we tell which is an
    acid and which is a base?
     Ideas?

    pH Scale
     pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a
    solution is.

    • The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.


     Acidic solutions have pH values below 7

     A solution with a pH of 0 is very acidic.

     A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral.

    • Pure water has a pH of 7.

    • Basic solutions have pH values above 7.


    pH Scale
    • A change of 1 pH unit represents a
    tenfold change in the acidity of the
    solution. (X 10)
    • For example, if one solution has a pH of 1
    and a second solution has a pH of 2, the
    first solution is not twice as acidic as the
    second—it is ten times more acidic.
    Acid – Base Reactions

     A reaction between an
    acid and a base is
    called neutralization.
    An acid-base mixture
    is not as acidic or
    basic as the individual
    starting solutions.
    Acid – Base reactions

     Each salt listed in this


    table can be formed by
    the reaction between an
    acid and a base.
     A household cleaner has a pH around 19. It would be
    considered
    a. A base
    b. An acid
    c. Neutral
    d. A liquid
     Distilled water with a pH of 7 is______

    b. An alakali
    c. An acid
    d. neutral

    alkalinity?

    b. Red litmus paper
    c. Universal litmus paper
    d. Indicator
     if I have a solution with a pH of 3, what is it?
    a. Acid
    b. Base
    c. Neutral
     A substance with a pH of 2 is a_______
    a. Strong acid
    b. Weak acid
    c. Strong base
    d. Weak base
     Pure water is neutral
    a. True
    b. False
     Acids have a pH of less than 7.
    a. True
    b. False
     Which pH range describes strong acids?
    a. 0-7
    b. 6-8
    c. 11-15
    d. 0-4
    What is 7 on the pH scale?
    a. Acid
    b. Base
    c. Neutral
    d. Alkaline
    Arrange the acids in order of increasing levels of
    alkalinity( from acidic to basic)
    Lemons – pH2
    Seawater – pH8
    Grapefruit- pH3
