Understanding Acids and Bases

This document discusses acids and bases. It defines acids as compounds that have a sour taste, are corrosive, and turn litmus paper red. Acids are classified as natural or synthetic. Natural acids are found in plants and animals, while synthetic acids are produced by humans. Acids have properties like a sour taste and ability to react with metals. They are used to make chemicals, fertilizers, and paint. Examples given are citric acid, lactic acid, and ascorbic acid. Bases are defined as substances that neutralize acids and turn litmus paper blue. Bases are classified as soluble or insoluble, and described as having a bitter taste. They are used to make soap, chemicals, glass

AND
BASES
PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)
WHAT IS ACID?
Acid a compound having a sour
taste and capable of neutralizing
alkalis, reddening blue litmus paper
and having a pH of less than 7.
PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)
TYPES OF ACIDS
1. Natural Acids
2. Synthetic Acids

PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)


NATURAL ACIDS
Natural acids are called organic
acids: this acids occurs naturally, they
are found in plants and animals.

PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)


SYNTHETIC ACIDS
Synthetic acids are produced by
human-beings(scientists ) in the
laboratory.

PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)


PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF
ACIDS
• They have sour taste.
• Concentrated acids can are corrosive.
• They turn blue litmus paper red.
• The concentrated acid can react with
plastic and metals and damage them.
• They neutralize bases to form salt and
water. PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)
USES OF ACIDS
• Acids are used in the manufacture of
paint, fertilizers, drugs and other
chemicals industry.
• They are used as solvent.
• They are used in the production of gasses
like hydrogen, carbon dioxide.
• They are used to produce chemicals in the
laboratory. PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)
EXAMPLES OF ACID

Ascorbic Citric Acid in Lactic Acid


And Acetic Lime In Spoilt Milk
Acid In
Vinegar PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)
EXAMPLES OF ACID

Tartaric acid Gastric Acid Oxalic Acid


in grapes in stomach In Tomato

PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)


WHAT IS BASE?
Base any substance that
neutralises an acid. Solution is
slippery to the touch, tastes
bitter, changes the color of
indicators turns red litmus
paper blue).
PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)
TYPES OF BASES
1. Soluble Bases
2. Insoluble Bases

PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)


SOLUBLE BASES
Soluble Bases are
called alkalis and are soluble in
water.

PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)


INSOLUBLE BASES
Insoluble Bases are bases
that are not soluble in water.

PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)


PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF
BASES
• Base have bitter taste.
• Base are slippery or soapy to
touch.
• They turn red litmus paper to blue.
• Concentrated base are corrosive.
PREPARED BY: ZAYRA M. ATRERO ( SCIENCE STUDENT TEACHER)
USES OF BASES
• They are used in the production of soap.
• They are used in the production of
chemicals.
• Some bases are used in the production of
glass, drugs and detergents.
• They are used in the production of salt
when dissolved in acids.
