This pdf tells us about the different properties of acids, bases, and salts.
1. Acids, Bases, & Salts
2. What is an ACID? • pH less than 7 • Neutralizes bases • Forms H + ions in solution • Corrosive-reacts with most metals to form hydrogen gas • Good conductors of electricity
3. Acids Generate Ions HNO3 + H2O H 3 O+ + NO3
4. Weak vs. Strong Acids • Weak Acids do not ionize completely: Acetic, Boric, Nitrous, Phosphoric, Sulfurous • Strong Acids ionize completely: Hydrochloric, Nitric; Sulfuric, Hydriodic
10. Types of Acids and Bases • In the 1800’s chemical concepts were based on the reactions of aqueous solutions. • Svante Arrhenius developed a concept of acids and bases relevant to reactions in H2O. • Arrhenius acid – produces hydrogen ions in water. • Arrhenius base – produce hydroxide ions in water.
11. A broader ,more modern concept of acids and bases was developed later. Bronsted-Lowry acid- donates a hydrogen ion in a reaction. Bronsted – Lowry base – accepts a hydrogen in a reaction.
12. • Conjugate acid- compound formed when an base gains a hydrogen ion. • Conjugate base – compound formed when an acid loses a hydrogen ion.
13. pH Scale

15. Reactions with indicators Indicator Acid Neutral Base color color color Phenolphthalein Colorless Faint pink Dark pink Bromthymol Yellow Green Blue blue Litmus Red ----- Blue
16. pH paper • pH paper changes color to indicate a specific pH value.
17. Buffers • A buffer is a solution that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acids and bases are added.
18. Situations in which pH is controlled • “Heartburn” • Planting vegetables and flowers • Fish Tanks and Ponds • Blood • Swimming pools
19. Acids and Bases in Solution • HCl + H20 H3O + + Cl- (more hydronium ions, more acidic) • NaOH in water Na+ + OH- (more hydroxide ions, more basic) • NaOH + HCl NaCl + HOH Acid + Base yields type of salt and water • NH3 + H20 NH4+ + OH- ammonia gas + water yields ammonium and hydroxide ions
20. Acid Rain Pollution in the air (sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide) combines with water to form various acids.
21. Rapid changes in pH can kill fish and other organisms in lakes and Soil pH is affected and can kill plants and create sinkholes

25. What is a SALT? • A salt is a neutral substance produced from the reaction of an acid and a base. • Composed of the negative ion of an acid and the positive ion of a base. • One of the products of a Neutralization Reaction • Examples: KCl, MgSO4, Na3PO4
26. Neutralization Reaction • A neutralization reaction is the reaction of an acid with a base to produce salt and water. • Example H2SO4 + NaOH NaHSO4 + H2O
27. Digestion and pH • Digestion-process by which foods are broken down into simpler substances. • Mechanical digestion-physical process in which food is torn apart (mouth) • Chemical digestion- chemical reactions in which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules. (stomach and small intestines)
28. pH in the Digestive System • Mouth-pH around 7. Saliva contains amylase, an enzyme which begins to break carbohydrates into sugars. • Stomach- pH around 2. Proteins are broken down into amino acids by the enzyme pepsin. • Small intestine-pH around 8. Most digestion ends. Small molecules move to bloodstream toward cells that use them
