Fig 11.6 NaCl dissolving in water

Fig. 11.10 Behavior of electrolytes and nonelectrolytes.

Electrolyte - a substance that, when dissolved in water, forms a solution that can conduct electricity.

Nonelectrolyte - a substance that, when dissolved, forms a solution that does not conduct electricity.

Acids, Bases, and Salts

acid + base salt + water

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O

Acids

1. Have a sour taste. e.g., Vinegar, lemons, limes, sour milk

2. Cause litmus to change from blue to red.

4. Acid solutions conduct electricity.

3. Acids neutralize bases.

1. Have a bitter taste. e.g., caffeine, walnuts, soap

3. Feel slippery. Many soaps contain bases.

Bases

5. Basic solutions conduct electricity.

2. Cause litmus to change from red to blue.

4. Bases neutralize acids.

How do we express the concentration

of an acid or a base?

pH scale – based on concentration of the

hydronium ion (H3O+)

acidic basicneutral

Based on powers of 10:

e.g., a soln with pH = 3 is 10 times moreacidic than a solution with pH = 4
