Acids, Bases, & Salts
I.Acids, Bases & Salts
• In water, acids produce H+
(hydrogen ions/proton)
Hydrogen ions/protons can also be called
hydronium ions (H3O+)
How hydronium ions are formed:H+ + H2O → H3O+

Common Acids:
•
•
•
•
ethanoic acid (vinegar)
citric acid in lemons
sulfuric acid
hydrochloric acid
•
In water, bases produce
OH- (hydroxide ions)
Ex: NaOH (s) → Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Common Bases
•
•
•
•
soap
sodium hydroxide
ammonia
aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) antacid in
Maalox
•A salt is an IONIC substance formed
from a (+) metallic or polyatomic ion
and a (-) ion (NOT hydroxide)
•Ex: calcium carbonate_________
magnesium bromide_________
ammonium chloride__________
sodium chloride_____________

Definitions
*Arrhenius (most common)
A substance that produces
hydrogen (H+) or hydronium
(H3O+) ions as the only
positive ion in solution
A substance that produces
hydroxide (OH-) ions as the
only negative ion in solution
Alternative definition*
A proton (+) DONOR
A proton (+) ACCEPTOR
General formula
H-metal
Metal-OH
Properties
-react with metals to
produce H2 gas
-react with bases to form
salt and water
-react with acids to form a
salt and water
Electrolytes!! Conduct electricity because they have moving ions

Lots of H+ or H3O+: little OH-
Little H+ or H3O+ : Lots of OH-

-Have H at
beginning or end

-Other elements
are Non metals
*NH3 is an
exception
-Have OH at end of
formula

-Do NOT conduct elec
The exception to these rules: organic acids
(organic means contains carbon)
 End In COOH
Have a different set of naming rules that we
will learn in Organic Chemistry
Ex: CH3COOH ethanoic acid
Doesn’t start with an H but it is still an
acid

Phosphoric acid is added to
soft drinks to give them a
sharper flavor. It also
slows the growth of molds
and bacteria, which would
otherwise multiply rapidly in
the sugary solution.

Do you want to see me break a penny with
my bare hands?
How did this happen?
• Rub opposite edges of a penny made after 1984
with sandpaper to expose the zinc on the inside
• Soak in hydrochloric acid
• Rinse penny in sodium hydroxide solution
• Rinse the penny in water
• Place in ethanol (alcohol)
• Let it dry and RIP!
Using the equation on Reference Table T, you can
solve for either the unknown molarity/
concentration (M) OR the volume (V) of base
needed to neutralize an acid
= molarity of H+
= volume of acid
= molarity of OH–
= volume of base
Ex 1: A 25.0-milliliter sample of HNO3 (aq) is
neutralized by 32.1 milliliters of 0.150 M KOH
(aq). What is the concentration of the acid?
Ex 2: How many milliliters of 0.200 M NaOH are
needed to neutralize 100. mL of 0.100 M HCl?
