Chapter 8
Acids, Bases, and pH
The pH scale
• pH scale is labeled 0-14
• 7 = neutral
• 0-7 = acids, 7-14 = bases
• “weak”, closer to 7
• “strong”, closer to 0 or 14
Acids (0-7)
• A compound that produces hydronium (H30+) ions when dissolved in H20
• Example: HCl + H20 H30+ + Cl-
• Sour taste, react with metals, produce color changes in indicators
• Examples: fruit, shampoo, vinegar
Bases (7-14)
• A compound that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in H20
• Example: NaOH + H2O Na+ + OH-
• Bitter taste, slippery feel, produces color changes in indicators.
• Example: deodorant, Tums (antacid), soap
Neutralization
• The rxn of acid + base
• Example: H+ + OH- H20
• Neutral substances will not produce color changes in indicators.
• The negative ions of an acid combine with the positive ions of a base to produce an ionic compound called a salt.
• The neutralization reaction between acid and base produces a salt and water.
• (H3O+ + Cl-) + (Na+ + OH-) 2HOH + (Na+ + Cl-)
acid base water salt
Neutralization and Salts
Indicators
• Something that indicates the pH of a solution or substance
• Examples:– Natural (some flowers, cabbage juice, red
onion juice)– pH paper (Litmus blue or red, universal)
