Module 10 Lesson 1: Acids and Bases

Slide 1: What the properties of acids and bases

Acids: Sour, Sting, Weak to strong electrolytes, Reacts with metals to form H 2, Less than 7

Bases: Bitter, Slippery/slimy, Weak to strong electrolytes, No reaction with metals, Greater than
7

Slide 3: Arrhenius Theory

Acids and bases must yield H+ or OH-

Slide 4: Bronsted-Lowry Theory

Any compound that can transfer a photon to any other compound is a acid and any compound
that accepts that proton is a base.

Slide 5: Conjugate Acid/Base Pairs

Substances that can act as an acid or base are called amphoteric. Any substance that has an
ionizable hydrogen and a negative charge is also amphoteric.

Slide 6: Lewis Theory

Acids are electron pair acceptors and bases are electron pair donors

Slide 7: Strength of Acids and Bases

The degree to which the molecules ionize

Slide 8: Strong Acids and Bases

Strong Acids: HCl, HBr, Hl, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO4

Weak Acids: H3PO4, HC2H3O2

Strong Bases: All groups lA and llA hydroxides

Weak Bases: NH3

Slide 9: Naming Binary Acids; Naming Bases

Acids: Begin with hydro then use the root of the element name then add the suffix ic

Slide 10: Naming Ternary Acid

TA: Begin with polyatomic ion without the ending, add suffix ic if there was an ate ending or
add suffix ous if there was an ite ending
