5.1 Describe an acid as a species that can donate a proton.

Acid Definition

Any of a class of substances whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a sour taste, the ability to turn blue litmus red, and the ability to react with bases and certain metals to form salts.A substance that yields hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.A substance that can act as a proton donor.A substance that can accept a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond

5.2 Describe a base as a species that can accept a proton Definition of a base

Any of a class of compounds whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a bitter taste, a slippery feel, the ability to turn litmus blue, and the ability to react with acids to form salts.A substance that yields hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water.A substance that can act as a proton acceptor.A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.

Acids and BasesAcids have a pH of less than 7. Bases have a pH of more than 7. When bases are dissolved in water, they are known as alkalis.Salts are made when an acid reacts with a base, carbonate or metal. The name of the salt formed depends on the metal in the base and the acid used. For example, salts made using hydrochloric acid are called chlorides.

Acids

Substances with a pH of less than 7 are acids. The stronger the acid, the lower the pH number. Acids turn blue litmus paper red. They turn universal indicator red if they are strong, and orange or yellow if they are weak.

Bases

Substances that can react with acids and neutralise them to make a salt and water are called bases. They are usually metal oxides or metal hydroxides. For example, copper oxide and sodium hydroxide are bases.

AlkalisBases that dissolve in water are called alkalis. Copper oxide is not an alkali because it does not dissolve in water. Sodium hydroxide is an alkali because it does dissolve in water.Alkaline solutions have a pH of more than 7. The stronger the alkali, the higher the pH number. Alkalis turn red litmus paper blue. They turn universal indicator dark blue or purple if they are strong, and blue-green if they are weak

Neutral solutions

Neutral solutions have a pH of 7. They do not change the colour of litmus paper, but they turn universal indicator green. Water is neutral.

5.3 Describe the reaction of an acid typified by hydrochloric acid with metals, carbonates bases and alkalis and interpret them using ionic equations to emphasise the role of H+(aq)When acids react with bases, a salt and water are made. This reaction is called neutralisation. In general:acid + metal oxide salt + wateracid + metal hydroxide salt + waterRemember that most bases do not dissolve in water. But if a base can dissolve in water, it is also called an alkali.

17CarbonatesWhen acids react with carbonates, such as calcium carbonate (found in chalk, limestone and marble), a salt, water and carbon dioxide are made. In general:

acid + metal carbonate salt + water + carbon dioxide

Notice that an extra product - carbon dioxide - is made. It causes bubbling during the reaction, and can be detected using limewater. You usually see this reaction if you study the effects of acid rain on rocks and building materials

18Reactive metals

Acids will react with reactive metals, such as magnesium and zinc, to make a salt and hydrogen. In general:

acid + metal salt + hydrogen

The hydrogen causes bubbling during the reaction, and can be detected using a lighted splint. You usually see this reaction if you study the reactivity series of metals.19Acids, alkalis and neutralisation When atoms or groups of atoms lose or gain electrons, charged particles called ions are formed. Ions can be either positively or negatively charged.For the Higher grades, you need to know which ions are produced by acids, and which are produced by alkalis. You will also need to know the ionic equation for neutralisation.20AcidsWhen acids dissolve in water they produce hydrogen ions, H+. For example, looking at hydrochloric acid:HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)Remember that (aq) means the substance is in solution21

AlkalisWhen alkalis dissolve in water they produce hydroxide ions, OH-. For example, looking at sodium hydroxide:NaOH(aq) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)Ammonia is slightly different. This is the equation for ammonia in solution:NH3(aq) + H2O(l) (aq) + OH-(aq)Be careful to write OH- and not Oh-.

Neutralisation reactionWhen the H+ ions from an acid react with the OH- ions from an alkali, a neutralisation reaction occurs to form water. This is the equation for the reaction:H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l)If you look at the equations above for sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, you will see that there are Na+ ions and Cl- ions left over. These form sodium chloride, NaCl.

Naming salts

You need to be able to work out which particular salt is made in a reaction. You may be asked to describe how to make a salt.The name of a salt has two parts. The first part comes from the metal in the base or carbonate, or the metal itself if a reactive metal like magnesium or zinc is used.The second part of the name comes from the acid used to make it. The names of salts made from hydrochloric acid end in -chloride, while the names of salts made from sulfuric acid end in -sulfate.
