Acid Base and Salts
Acid Base and Salts
Any acid which creates one hydrogen molecule is mono basic acid
Any acid which creates two hydrogen molecule is di basic acid
Any acid which creates three hydrogen molecule is tri basic acid
Any acid which creates four hydrogen molecule is Poly basic acid
Acid used as electrolyte, conduct electricity due to free ions
Turns blur litmus paper red
Acids reacts with MCB
M: Metal C: Carbonate(CO₃²⁻) B: base(NaOH,MgO)
Base is any metal which has oxgen or OH
Acis does not react with Cu,Ag,Au,Pt
Metal + Acid -------- salts + H2 (with metals)
Carbonate + Acid --------- salts + CO2 +H2O (Carbonate and Hydrogen
Carbonate)
Base + Acis --------- salts + H2O (base, metal oxide and metal
hydroxide)
Strong Acid completely Ionis (HCl , HNO3 , H2SO4)
Weak acids incompletely ions (CH3COOH , H2CO3)
Bases which dissolve in water are called Alkalis
Group 1 elements are Alkalis and group 2 from Ca to down wards are
also Alkalis
Alkali turns red litmus paper blue
Base reacts with A (square) A: Acid A: Ammonium salts
Base + Ammonium salts -------- salts + H2O + NH3
Ammonium (NH4)
First NH4 then Turns into NH3
Neutralization: (to reduce Acid you put OH-) (to reduce Alkali you put
H+)
H+ + OH- --------- H20
Ammonium ion is Acidic
Oxides (two elemental compound)(One element another and one
Oxygen
Metal oxides are bases
Non metal oxides are Acidic(except CO and H20)(also known as nutria
Oxides)
Elements that show properties of both metal and non metal are
metalloid
Their oxides are Amphoteric, reacts with both acid and base
(AL,Zn,Pb)
Ph indicators Litmus: Red(Acid) Blue (base), Methyl orange: Red(acid
