|
Properties of Acids |
- Tastes Sour - Reacts with metals to liberate hydrogen gas - Turns blue litmus to Red - Conducts electricity in aqueous solution - Corrosive in Nature |
|
Chemical properties of an acid |
Metal + acid = salt + hydrogen gas Metal oxide + acid = salt + water Metal carbonate = salt + water + carbon dioxide Metal hydrogencarbonate = salt + water + carbon dioxide |
|
Test for CO2 gas |
To test for CO2, we pass the evolved gas through Lime Water(Caustic Lime). CO2 + Ca(OH)2 => CaCO3 + H2O The CaCO3 will make a milky white precipitate However when excess CO2 is passed the milkiness disappears due to formation of Calcium Hydrogencarbonate which is soluble CaCO3 + H2O + CO2 => CaHCO3 |
|

|
pH and its expression |
Strength of an acid or alkali is measured using a scale of numbers called the pH scale pH = -log[H+] Example: pH = -log[1/10] = log[10] = 1 Acid < pH 7 Base > pH 7 Neutral = pH 7 |
|
Universal Indicator |
- A universal indicator is a pH indicator composed of a solution of several compounds that exhibits several smooth colour changes over a pH value range from 1 to 14 to indicate the acidity or alkalinity of solutions. |
|
Ionic Product of Water (Kw) |
In any aqueous solution, the product of H+ ion and OH- ion concentration is always constant and equal to 10 raised to -14 at 25 C (Kw) = [H+] x [OH-] = [1/100,000,000,000,000] (10 raised to minus 14) |
|
Role of pH in plants |
Before sowing we have to check the pH of the soil to ensure of proper growth. If the soil is too acidic it may negatively effect the plants. Therefore the farmer adds slaked lime to the soil to increase the pH of the soil. |
|
Role of pH in Bee or Ant stings |
When bitten by a bee or a yellow ant, there is a painful sting due to the presence of formic acid( also called methanoic acid). Therefore we apply a mild base such as milk of magnesia or baking soda to neutralize the acid in the sting |
|
Role of pH in Stomach |
The stomach's pH is 2.0 due to presence of HCl. This is to activate pepsinogen to become pepsin, provide the medium for pepsin to react and kill any bacteria in the food. However sometimes there could be an increase in the amount of acid during digestion which is called acidity. We neutralize this excess acid by the intake of antacids such as magnesium hydroxide(milk of magnesia). |
|
Role of pH in Mouth |
pH of mouth is usually about 7. However when we ingest sugary foods or cold drinks, the bacteria in the mouth digest these sugars to give off acids which lower the pH of the mouth and can cause tooth decay. Therefore the toothpaste we use is generally basic in nature to neutralize the acid. |
|
Factors affecting reaction of acid with metal |
If the metal is below hydrogen in reactive series, it will not react. Example - Copper , Silver, Gold , Platinum. Also , the higher the metal is in the reactivity series, the faster it reacts with the same acid. Also the strength of the acid is also important |
|
Nitric Acid Reaction with copper |
Copper can react with Nitric Acid since Nitric acid is an oxidising agent and the reaction is not the usual acid + metal reaction. The products are oxides of nitrogen instead of hydrogen.There are actually two equations for the reaction of copper with nitric acid. If it is concentrated and in excess then the ratio is 1:4 copper to nitric acid. If it is dilute then the ratio is 3:8. Cu + 4HNO3 –> Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O 3Cu + 8HNO3 –> 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO + 4H2O |
|
Salts and Classification of Salts |
It is a compound formed by replacement of either all or a part of the ionisable hydrogen atoms of an acid by some other cation There are three types of salts 1)Normal Salts - Salts formed by complete replacement of all ionisable hydrogen atoms pH = 7 2)Acidic Salts - Salts formed by partial replacement of ionisable of an acid by metallic or ammonium ions. pH < 7 3)Basic Salts - Salts formed by partial replacement of hydroxyl groups of a base. pH > 7 |
|
Water of Crystallization |
Fixed number of water molecules chemically attached to each formula unit of a salt in its crystalline form is called water of crystallization. The salts containing water of crystallization are called hydrated salts. Eg: CuSO4.5H2O |
|
NaCl - Common Salt Preparation and Occurrence |
Preparation - NaOH + HCl => NaCl + H2O Occurrence: Sea water- It is one of the main source of common salt. The sea water is allowed to evaporate in shallow tanks under the influence of sun and wind. The salt obtained contains impurities which are removed by suitable methods. Rock salt- It is also found in the form of solid deposits in several parts of the world. Due to presence of impurities it is often brown in color and is called rock salt. Rock salt is mined just like any other mineral. Inland lakes- Large quantities of salts are obtained by the natural evaporation of the water of inland lakes |

CaCO3.10H2O - Washing Soda Preperation |
Washing soda is prepared by Solvay's process. In this process carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through saturated ammonical brine solution which results in the formation of sodium hydrogencarbonate. NaCl+H2O+NH3+CO2=>NH4Cl+NaHCO3 The sodium hydrogen carbonate is filtered off and then ignited to get sodium carbonate. 2NaHCO3 => Na2CO3+ H2O + CO2 Anhydrous Sodium Carbonate (soda ash). The anhydrous sodium carbonate is dissolved in water and then subjected to recrystallisation to obtain crystals of washing soda. Na2CO3 + 10H2O ------------> Na2CO3.10H2O |
|
CaCO3.10H2O - Washing Soda Properties |
It is transparent crystalline solid.It is readily soluble in water and its aqueous solution is alkaline in nature due to hydrolysis. Na2CO3+2H2O => 2NaOH + H2CO3 When kept open in the air, the crystals of washing soda lose nine molecules of water of crystallization to form a monohydrate which is white powder. Na2CO3.10 H2O(s) => Na2CO3.H2O(s) + 9H2O The loss of water by a crystalline solid to the atmosphere on exposure to is called efflorescence. On heating washing soda loses all the molecules of water of crystallization and becomes anhydrous Na2CO3.10H2O(s)=>Na2CO3 (s)+10H2O(g)↑ Sodium Carbonate (soda ash)It reacts with acid to give out CO2 gas with brisk effervescence. Na2CO3 + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + H2O+ CO2 ↑ Washing soda reacts with soluble salts of calcium and magnesium present in hard water to form insoluble salts of calcium and magnesium which can be filtered off, Hence water becomes soft. Na2CO3+CaCl2 =>CaCO3+2NaCl |

|
NaHCO3 - Baking Soda Uses |
It is used as an ingredient in antacids. Being alkaline it neutralizes excess acid in the stomach. It is used as a component of baking powder (sodium hydrogencarbonate + mild edible acid such as tartaric acid, citric acids etc.)When mixed with water and heated, baking soda decomposes producing carbon dioxide which causes bread or cake to swell and become light. Tartaric acid present in baking powder neutralizes bitter taste of sodium carbonate. It is used in soda-acid fire extinguishers. Soda acid fire extinguishers contain a solution of hydrogen carbonate and sulphuric acid. These two chemicals are brought in contact by pressing a knob or by inverting the extinguisher. Carbon dioxide is produced which forces a stream of effervescing liquid on the fire. CO2 surrounds the combustible substance and cuts off the supply of air. Thus the fire gets extinguished. |
