Acids
• Although some acids can burn and are dangerous to handle, most acids in foods are safe to eat.
• What acids have in common, however, is that they contain at least one hydrogen atom that can be removed when the acid is dissolved in water.

• An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions in a water solution. It is the ability to produce these ions that gives acids their characteristic properties.
• When an acid dissolves in water, H+ ions interact with water molecules to form H3O+ ions, which are called hydronium ions.
Properties of Acids

Properties of Acids
• Acids have several common properties.
• All acids taste sour. • Taste never should be used
to test for the presence of acids.
• Acids are corrosive.

Properties of Acids
• Acids also react with indicators to produce predictable changes in color.
• An indicator is an organic compound that changes color in an acid and a base.

Indicator: Litmus Paper
• Blue Litmus turns Red in presence of acid
• It remains blue in a base.
• Red Litmus turns Blue in presence of a base.
• It remains red in an acid.

Common Acids • At least four acids (sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric,
and hydrochloric) play vital roles in industrial applications.

Bases
• You don’t consume many bases. • Some foods, such as egg
whites, are slightly basic.
• Medicines, such as milk of magnesia and antacids are basic too.

Bases
• One characteristic of bases is that they feel slippery, like soapy water.
• Bases are important in many types of cleaning materials.
• Bases can be defined in two ways.

Bases • Any substance that forms hydroxide ions,
OH, in a water solution is a base.
• In addition, a base is any substance that accepts H+ from acids.
• One way to think about bases is as the complements, or opposites, of acids.

Common Bases • You probably are familiar with many
common bases because they are found in cleaning products used in the home.
![Page 12: Acids and Bases. Acids Although some acids can burn and are dangerous to handle, most acids in foods are safe to eat. What acids have in common, however,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ec95503460f94bd6942/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Strong bases are corrosive, and contact with skin can result in severe burns. Therefore, taste and touch never should be used to test for the presence of a base.

Common Bases
• Some drain cleaners contain NaOH, which dissolves grease, and small pieces of aluminum.
• The aluminum reacts with NaOH, producing hydrogen and dislodging solids, such as hair.

Dissociation of Acids
• Many of the products that rely on the chemistry of acids and bases are solutions, such as the cleaning products and food products mentioned previously.
• The acid dissociates, or separates, into ions and the hydrogen atom combines with a water molecule to form hydronium ions (H3O+).
![Page 15: Acids and Bases. Acids Although some acids can burn and are dangerous to handle, most acids in foods are safe to eat. What acids have in common, however,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ec95503460f94bd6942/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Therefore, an acid can more accurately be described as a compound that produces hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
Dissociation of Acids
![Page 16: Acids and Bases. Acids Although some acids can burn and are dangerous to handle, most acids in foods are safe to eat. What acids have in common, however,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ec95503460f94bd6942/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• When bases that contain –OH dissolve in water, the negative areas of nearby water molecules attract the positive ion in the base.
Dissociation of Bases
• The positive areas of nearby water molecules attract the –OH of the base.
•The base dissociates into a positive ion and a negative ion, a hydroxide ion (OH).

Ammonia • Ammonia is a common
household cleaner. However, products containing ammonia never should be used with other cleaners that contain chlorine (sodium hypochlorite), such as some bathroom bowl cleaners and bleach.
• Breathing these gases can severely damage lung tissues and cause death.

Electrolytes
• Solutions of both acids and bases produce some ions that are capable of carrying electric current to some extent.
• Thus, they are said to be electrolytes.

pH of a Solution
• The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of H+ ions in it.
• The greater the H+ concentration is, the lower the pH is and the more acidic the solution is.
• The pH measures how acidic or basic a solution is.
![Page 21: Acids and Bases. Acids Although some acids can burn and are dangerous to handle, most acids in foods are safe to eat. What acids have in common, however,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ec95503460f94bd6942/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
pH scale• To indicate pH, a scale ranging from 0 to
14 has been devised.
• Solutions with a pH lower than 7 are described as acidic.
![Page 22: Acids and Bases. Acids Although some acids can burn and are dangerous to handle, most acids in foods are safe to eat. What acids have in common, however,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ec95503460f94bd6942/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
pH of a Solution
• Solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic.
• A solution with a pH of exactly 7 indicates that the concentrations of H+ ions and OH¯ ions are equal. These solutions are considered neutral.
![Page 23: Acids and Bases. Acids Although some acids can burn and are dangerous to handle, most acids in foods are safe to eat. What acids have in common, however,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ec95503460f94bd6942/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
pH of a Solution
• One way to determine pH is by using a universal indicator paper.
• This paper undergoes a color change in the presence of H3O+ ions and OH‾ ions in solution. • The final color of the pH paper is matched with colors in a chart to find the pH.
