Ghi chú bài học
Properties of Acids
- Acids have pH < 7, sour taste (if edible), and are corrosive.
- Acids neutralise bases to form a salt and water.
- In water, acids produce H⁺ ions (e.g., HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻).
- Acids react with metals (above H in reactivity series) to give salt + hydrogen.
- Acids react with metal carbonates to give salt + CO₂ + water.
- Acids react with bases (metal oxides/hydroxides) to give salt + water (neutralisation).
Properties of Bases & Alkalis
- Bases have pH > 7; a water‑soluble base is an alkali.
- Bases neutralise acids to form a salt and water.
- In water, alkalis produce OH⁻ ions (e.g., NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻).
- Alkalis react with ammonium salts on warming to produce ammonia gas (damp red litmus turns blue).
- Common bases are metal oxides and metal hydroxides.
Indicators
- Indicators change colour in acid or alkali; litmus (red in acid, blue in alkali) is from lichens.
- Methyl orange: red in acid, yellow in alkali.
- Thymolphthalein: colourless in acid, blue in alkali.
- Universal indicator is a mixture giving a range of colours to estimate pH.
- Synthetic indicators (methyl orange, thymolphthalein) have sharp colour changes for titrations; litmus is not suitable for titrations.

The Ions in Acids & Alkalis & Neutralisation
- Acids are sources of H⁺ ions; alkalis are sources of OH⁻ ions.
- Neutralisation: H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l).
- Not all acid reactions are neutralisations (e.g., acid + metal produces no water).
- The pH scale runs 0–14; pH < 7 = acid, pH = 7 = neutral, pH > 7 = alkali.
- pH is a logarithmic measure of H⁺ concentration: a change of 1 pH unit = ×10 change in [H⁺].
- Strong acids have pH 0–2; weak acids pH 3–6; weak alkalis pH 8–11; strong alkalis pH 12–14.
The pH scale showing acidity, neutrality and alkalinity
Proton Transfer (Extended Tier)
- Acids are proton donors (H⁺ = proton).
- Bases are proton acceptors.
- In water, HCl donates a proton to H₂O, forming H₃O⁺ and Cl⁻.
Proton transfer between hydrochloric acid and water
Strong & Weak Acids (Extended Tier)
- Strong acids completely dissociate in water (e.g., HCl, H₂SO₄).
- Weak acids partially dissociate; an equilibrium exists (e.g., CH₃CH₂COOH ⇌ H⁺ + CH₃CH₂COO⁻).
- Concentration ≠ strength: a dilute strong acid can be more acidic than a concentrated weak acid.
- Weak acids have pH closer to 7 (e.g., propanoic acid pH ≈ 5).
Classifying Oxides
- Acidic oxides (non‑metal + oxygen): react with bases to form salt + water; produce acidic solutions (e.g., CO₂, SO₂).
- Basic oxides (metal + oxygen): react with acids to form salt + water; produce alkaline solutions (e.g., CuO, CaO).
- Amphoteric oxides (e.g., ZnO, Al₂O₃) react with both acids and bases to give salt + water.
- Neutral oxides (e.g., N₂O, NO, CO) do not react with acids or bases.
- Al₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂O (as base); Al₂O₃ + 2NaOH → 2NaAlO₂ + H₂O (as acid).
Metals form basic oxides while non-metals form acidic oxides
