• two classes of chemicals that play an important role in everyday life
• classified based on their properties:
Property Acids Bases
molecular or ionic? molecular ionic
aqueous solution conducts electricity? yes yes
feel slippery
taste sour bitter

Acids• produce hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water (aq)• e.g. HCl splits into H+ and Cl- ions in water • react with substances in characteristic ways:
Reaction with Metalsacid + metal hydrogen gas + ionic compound
Example: hydrochloric acid with zincHCl(aq) + Zn(s) H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)

Reaction with Carbonatesacid + carbonate carbon dioxide + water + ionic compound
Example: vinegar with baking sodaHC2H3O2(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) CO2(g) + H2O(l) + NaC2H3O2(aq)
• acid chemical formulas typically begin with an H, and followed by (aq)
• acids show their properties only when dissolved in water

Naming Acids
• first group of acids are called binary – only 2 elements
Acid name Chemical formula Use
Hydrofluoric acid HF(aq) Etching glass
Hydrochloric acid HCl(aq) Cleaning concrete
Hydrobromic acid HBr(aq) To make cleaning compounds
Hydrosulfuric acid H2S(aq) Purifying metals

• second group are oxyacids • contain polyatomic ions• more commonly encountered
Acid Chemical formula Related polyatomic ion Polyatomic ion name
Acetic acid HC2H3O2 (aq) C2H3O2−(aq) acetate
nitric acid HNO3(aq) NO3−(aq) nitrate
carbonic acid H2CO3(aq) CO32–(aq) carbonate
sulfuric acid H2SO4(aq) SO42−(aq) sulfate
phosphoric acid H3PO4(aq) PO43−(aq) phosphate

Bases
• also known as alkaline• many are ionic• a substance that produces hydroxide (OH-) ions
when dissolved in water • e.g. NaOH splits into Na+ and OH- ions in water

Naming BasesBase Chemical formula Uses
Sodium hydroxide NaOH(aq) Making paper
calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2(aq) decreasing the acidity of lakes and soil
ammonium hydroxide NH4OH(aq) window cleaners
magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH) 2(aq) antacids
aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3(aq) heartburn medications
sodium hydrogen
carbonate (baking soda)
NaHCO3(aq) making baked goods rise
an abrasive cleaner

pH• related to the number of hydrogen ions (H+) in
a solution• power (or potential) of hydrogen• pH scale indicates how acidic or basic a
solution is• ranges from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic)• pH of 7 is neutral

Acid-Base Indicators
• any substance that changes colour if an acid or a base is present
Indicator Colour in Acid Colour in Base
