Acids React with Active MetalsAcids React with Active Metals
Acids react with active metals to form salts and hydrogen gas:
HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
This is a single-replacement reaction
Acids React with Carbonates Acids React with Carbonates and Bicarbonatesand Bicarbonates
HCl + NaHCO3
NaCl + H2O + CO2
Hydrochloric acid + sodium bicarbonate

-Neutralization reactions ALWAYS produce a salt (which is an ionic compound) and water.
-Of course, it takes the right proportion of acid and base to produce a neutral salt

Organic AcidsOrganic Acids (those with carbon) (those with carbon)
Organic acids all contain the carboxyl group, (-COOH), sometimes several of them. CH3COOH – of the 4 hydrogen, only 1 ionizable
The carboxyl group is a poor proton donor, so ALL organic acids are weak acids.
(due to being bonded to the highly electronegative Oxygen)

How to measure pH with wide-range paperHow to measure pH with wide-range paper
1. Moisten the pH indicator paper strip with a few drops of solution, by using a stirring rod.
2.Compare the color to the chart on the vial – then read the pH value.

StrengthStrengthAcids and Bases are classified acording Acids and Bases are classified acording
to the degree to which they ionize in to the degree to which they ionize in water:water:StrongStrong are are completely ionizedcompletely ionized in in
aqueous solution; this means they aqueous solution; this means they ionize 100 %ionize 100 %
WeakWeak ionize only ionize only slightlyslightly in aqueous in aqueous solutionsolution
StrengthStrength is very different from is very different from ConcentrationConcentration
StrengthStrength
Strong – means it forms Strong – means it forms manymany ions when dissolved (100 % ions when dissolved (100 % ionization)ionization)
Mg(OH)Mg(OH)22 is a strong base- it falls is a strong base- it falls completely apart (nearly 100% completely apart (nearly 100% when dissolved). when dissolved). But, But, not much dissolves-not much dissolves- so it so it

Ionization is reversible:Ionization is reversible:
HA + HHA + H22O O ↔↔ H H++ + A + A- -
This makes an equilibriumThis makes an equilibriumAcid dissociation constant = KAcid dissociation constant = Kaa
KKaa = [H = [H++ ][A ][A- - ] ]
[HA][HA]Stronger acidStronger acid = more products (ions), = more products (ions),
thus a thus a larger Klarger Kaa (Table 19.7, page 607) (Table 19.7, page 607)
(Note that water is NOT shown, because its concentration is constant, and built into Ka)
(Note that the arrow goes both directions.)
What about bases?What about bases?
Strong bases dissociate completely.Strong bases dissociate completely.
MOH + HMOH + H22O O ↔↔ M M++ + OH + OH-- (M = a metal)(M = a metal)
Base dissociation constant = KBase dissociation constant = Kbb
KKbb = [M = [M++ ][OH ][OH--]]
[MOH] [MOH]Stronger baseStronger base = more dissociated = more dissociated
ions are produced, thus a ions are produced, thus a larger Klarger Kbb..

Aspirin (which is a type of acid) sometimes causes stomach upset; thus by adding a “buffer”, it does not cause the acid irritation.
Bufferin is one brand of a buffered aspirin that is sold in stores. What about the cost compared to plain aspirin?
