                               ACIDS , BASES AND SALTS 

QUESTION 1 :  Write Introduction of ACIDS , BASES AND SALTS ?

 

ANSWER :  A substance that tastes sour in water, turns blue litmus red, and neutralists bases is known as an acid. If a substance’s aqueous solution tastes bitter, turns red litmus blue, or neutralists acids, it’s called a base. Salt is a neutral material that has no effect on litmus in aqueous solution.

QUESTION 2 :  Define classification of matter ?

ANSWER : On the basis of :

a) composition –  elements, compounds and mixtures
b) state – solids, liquids and gases
c) solubility – suspensions, colloids and solutions

Types of mixtures – homogeneous and heterogeneous
Types of compounds – covalent and ionic..

QUESTION 3 :  What is Ionisable and Non- ionsiable compounds ?

ANSWER :  An ionisable compound when dissolved in water or in its molten state, dissociates into ions almost entirely. Example: NaCl, HCl, KOH, etc.

A non-ionisable compound does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water or in its molten state. Example: glucose, acetone, etc.

QUESTION 4 :  Define Acids and  Bases ?

ANSWER : An ionisable compound when dissolved in water or in its molten state, dissociates into ions almost entirely. Example: NaCl, HCl, KOH, etc. A non-ionisable compound does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water or in its molten state. Example: glucose, acetone, etc.

QUESTION 5 :  What is Arrhenius theory of Acids and Bases ?

ANSWER :  Arrhenius acid – when dissolved in water, dissociates to give H+ (aq) or H3O+ ion.

Arrhenius base – when dissolved in water, dissociates to give OH− ion.

" FOR EXAMPLES "

Acids 

• Hydrochloride acid (HCl)
• Sulphuric acid  (H2SO4)
• Nitric acid (HNO3)

Bases

• Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
• Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
• Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)

QUESTION 6 :  What is BRONSTED LOWRY  Theory  and write example ?

ANSWER :   Here is BRONSTED LOWRY Theory and is example.

A Bronsted acid is an H+ (aq) ion donor.
A Bronsted base is an H+ (aq) ion acceptor.

"Example"

In the reaction: HCl (aq) + NH3 (aq) → NH+4(aq) + Cl− (aq)
HCl – Bronsted acid and Cl− : its conjugate acid
NH3 – Bronsted base and NH+4 : its conjugate acid

QUESTION 7 :  Given are two possible tests to identity an acid or a base ?

ANSWER : There are two tests with examples of identity Acids or a Base.

A)  TEST .

An acid tastes sour whereas a base tastes bitter.
The method of taste is not advised as an acid or a base could be contaminated or corrosive.

Example: The flavors of curd, lemon juice, orange juice, and vinegar are all sour. Because they contain acids, these compounds have a sour flavor. Baking soda has a sour flavor. It’s an example of a foundation.

B)  EFFECT ON INDICATORS BY ACIDS AND BASE .

An indicator is a chemical substance which shows a change in its physical properties, mainly colour or odour when brought in contact with an acid or a base.
Below mentioned are commonly used indicators and the different colours they exhibit:

a) Litmus
In a neutral solution – purple
In acidic solution – red
In basic solution – blue

Litmus is also available as strips of paper in two variants – red litmus and blue litmus.
An acid turns a moist blue litmus paper to red.
A base turns a moist red litmus paper to blue.

b) Methyl orange
In a neutral solution – orange
In acidic solution – red
In basic solution – yellow

c) Phenolphthalein
In a neutral solution – colorless
In acidic solution – remains colorless
In basic solution – pink

QUESTION 8 :  Define Acids Base Reactions ?

ANSWER :  A neutralisation reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base. A salt and water are the end products of this reaction. An acid–base neutralisation reaction is formulated as a double-replacement reaction in this standard approach.

REACTIONS OF ACIDS AND BASE .

a ) REACTION OF ACIDS AND BASE WITH METALS

Acids, in general, react with metals to produce salt and hydrogen gas. Bases, in general, do not react with metals and do not produce hydrogen gas.

Acid + active metal →  salt + hydrogen + heat

2HCl + Mg → MgCl2 + H2 (↑)

Hydrochloric acid + Magnesium → Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen

Base + metal → salt + hydrogen + heat

2NaOH + Zn → Na2ZnO2 + H2 (↑)

Sodium hydroxide + Zinc → Sodium zincate + Hydrogen

A more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from its base.

2Na + Mg (OH) 2 → 2NaOH + Mg

Sodium + Magnesium hydroxide → Sodium hydroxide + Magnesium

b) REACTION OF ACIDS WITH METAL CARBONATES AND BICARBONATES.

Acids produce carbon dioxide, as well as metal salts and water, when they react with metal carbonates or metal bicarbonates. Sodium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are formed when sodium carbonate interacts with hydrochloric acid. Allowing carbon dioxide gas to travel through lime water turns it milky.

Acid + metal carbonate or bicarbonate →  salt + water + carbon dioxide.

2HCl + CaCO3 → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
H2SO4 + Mg (HCO3)2 → MgSO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Effervescence indicates liberation of CO2 gas.

 c) REACTION OF ACID WITH BASE.

1. Reaction of metal oxides and hydroxides with acids
Metal oxides or metal hydroxides are basic in nature.
Acid + base → salt + water + heat

H2SO4 + MgO → MgSO4 + H2O
2HCl + Mg (OH) 2 → MgCl2 + 2H2O

2. Reaction of non-metal oxides with bases

Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature
Base + Nonmetal oxide →  salt + water + heat

2NaOH + CO2→ Na2CO3 + H2O

3. Reaction of acids and base

A very common acid is hydrochloric acid. The reaction between strong acid says hydrochloric acid and strong base say sodium hydroxide forms salt and water. The complete chemical equation is shown below.

HCl (strong acid) + NaOH (strong base) → NaCl (salt) + H2O (water)

  QUESTION 9 : Describe acids and base in water ? 

ACIDS AND BASES IN WATER .

When added to water, acids and bases dissociate into their respective ions and help in conducting electricity.

 QUESTION 10 : DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BASE AND AN ALKALI ?

ANSWER : There are the difference between base and Alkali,

Base:

• Bases undergo neutralization reaction with acids.
• They are comprised of metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates and metal bicarbonates.
• Most of them are insoluble in water.

Alkali:

• An alkali is an aqueous solution of a base, (mainly metallic hydroxides).
• It dissolves in water and dissociates to give OH− ion.
• All alkalis are bases, but not all bases are alkalis.

QUESTION 11 : Define Hydronium Ion ?

ANSWER :  Hydronium ion is formed when a hydrogen ion accepts a lone pair of electrons from the oxygen atom of a water molecule, forming a coordinate covalent bond.

QUESTION 12 :  Define Dilution ?

ANSWER : Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent (usually water) to it.It is a highly exothermic process.To dilute acid, the acid must be added to water and not the other way round.

QUESTION 13 :  Tells about Strength of acids and Base ?

ANSWER : 

Strong acid or base: When all molecules of a given amount of an acid or a base dissociate completely in water to furnish their respective ions, H+(aq) for acid and OH−(aq) for base).

Weak acid or base: When only a few of the molecules of a given amount of an acid or a base dissociate in water to furnish their respective ions, H+(aq) for acid and OH−(aq) for base).

QUESTION 14 :  Define Universal Indicators ?

ANSWER : A universal indicator has a pH range from 0 to 14 that indicates the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

A neutral solution has pH=7

      " pH "

pH=−log10[H+]
In pure water, [H+]=[OH−]=10−7 mol/L. Hence, the pH of pure water is 7.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
If pH < 7 → acidic solution
If pH > 7→ basic solution

QUESTION 15 :  Importance of  pH  in everyday in life ?

ANSWER : Here are some importance of pH in everyday in life .

1 . pH sensitivity of Plants and Animals .

Plants and animals are sensitive to pH. Crucial life processes such as digestion of food, functions of enzymes and hormones happen at a certain pH value.

2. pH of a Soil .

The pH of a soil optimal for the growth of plants or crops is 6.5 to 7.0.

3. pH in the Digestive system .

The process of digestion happens at a specific pH in our stomach which is 1.5 to 4.

The pH of the interaction of enzymes, while food is being digested, is influenced by HCl in our stomach.

4. pH in tooth decay . 

Tooth decay happens when the teeth are exposed to an acidic environment of pH 5.5 and below.

5. pH of self-defense by animals and plants . 

Acidic substances are used by animals and plants as a self-defence mechanism. For example, bee and plants like nettle secrete a highly acidic substance for self-defence. These secreted acidic substances have a specific pH.

To know more about pH, 

 Manufacture of Acids and Bases.

a) Nonmetal oxide + water → acid

SO2(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO3(aq)
SO3(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO4(aq)
4NO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + O2(g) → 4HNO3(aq)

Non-metal oxides are thus referred to as acid anhydrides.

b) Hydrogen + halogen → acid

H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
HCl(g) + H2O(l) → HCl(aq)

c) Metallic salt + conc. sulphuric acid → salt + more volatile acid
2NaCl(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2HCl(aq)
2KNO3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → K2SO4(aq) + 2HNO3(aq)

d) Metal + oxygen → metallic oxide (base)
4Na(s) + O2(g) → 2Na2O(s)
2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)

e) Metal + water → base or alkali + hydrogen
Zn(s) + H2O(steam) → ZnO(s)+ H2(g)

f) Few metallic oxides + water → alkali
Na2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq)

g) Ammonia + water → ammonium hydroxide
NH3(g) + H2O(l) → NH4OH(aq)

QUESTION 16 :   Describe about SALTS ?

ANSWER :  A salt is a combination of an anion of an acid and a cation of a base.

Examples – KCl, NaNO3 ,CaSO4, etc.

Salts are usually prepared by the neutralisation reaction of an acid and a base.

Common salt .

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is referred to as common salt because it’s used all over the world for cooking.

Family of Salts. 

Salts having the same cation or anion belong to the same family. For example, NaCl, KCl, LiCl.

pH of Salts .

A salt of a strong acid and a strong base will be neutral in nature. pH = 7 (approx.).

A salt of a weak acid and a strong base will be basic in nature. pH > 7.
A salt of a strong acid and a weak base will be acidic in nature. pH < 7.
The pH of a salt of a weak acid and a weak base is determined by conducting a pH test.

Chemicals from Common Salt.

Sodium chloride is a common salt. NaCl is its molecular formula. The fundamental element in our meals is sodium chloride. It is used in our food as a flavour enhancer as well as a preservative. From common salt, we may make the following four compounds.

1. Sodium hydroxide or lye or caustic soda
2. Baking soda or sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate
3. Washing soda or sodium carbonate decahydrate
4. Bleaching powder or calcium hypochlorite

Preparation of Sodium Hydroxide.

The strong base sodium hydroxide is a common and useful one. Preparing a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in water requires extra caution because the exothermic reaction releases a lot of heat. It’s possible that the solution will spatter or boil. Here’s how to manufacture a sodium hydroxide solution safely, as well as recipes for a variety of NaOH strengths.

Preparation (Chlor-alkali process):
Electrolysis of brine (solution of common salt, NaCl) is carried out.
At anode: Cl2 is released
At cathode: H2 is released
Sodium hydroxide remains in the solution.

QUESTION 17 : Define Bleaching Powder ?

ANSWER :  Bleaching powder is soluble in water and is used as a bleaching agent in textile industries. It is also used as an oxidizing agent and a disinfectant in many industries. It should also be noted that bleaching powder is synthesized by the reacting chlorine gas on dry slaked lime i.e. Ca(OH)2.

Chemical formula – Ca(OCl)Cl or CaOCl2
Preparation .

– Ca(OH)2(aq)+Cl2(g)→CaOCl2(aq)+H2O(l)

On interaction with water – bleaching powder releases chlorine which is responsible for bleaching action.

Uses of Bleaching Powder

• It is used for bleaching dirty clothes in the laundry, as a bleaching agent for cotton and linen in the textile industry.
• It is a strong oxidizing agent, hence used as an oxidizer in many industries.
• It is used as a disinfectant which is used for disinfecting water to make potable water.

QUESTION 18 :  Tells about Baking Soda ? 

ANSWER : Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3 and the IUPAC designation sodium hydrogencarbonate. A sodium cation (Na+) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO3) combine to form this salt. Sodium bicarbonate is a white, crystalline substance that is commonly found as a fine powder. It tastes slightly salty and alkaline, like washing soda (sodium carbonate).

2. Softening of water
3. Domestic cleaner.

QUESTION 20 : Tells about Crystals of Salts  and give  examples ?

ANSWER : Certain salts form crystals by combining with a definite proportion of water. The water that combines with the salt is called water of crystallisation.

The process by which a solid forms, in which the atoms or molecules are strongly arranged into a structure known as a crystal, is known as crystallisation. Precipitation from a solution, freezing, and, more rarely, direct deposition from a gas are some of the ways crystals form.

"  Example" :

Table salt (sodium chloride or halite crystals), sugar (sucrose), and snowflakes are examples of common materials that form crystals. Many gemstones, such as quartz and diamond, are crystals.

QUESTION 21 : Define Plaster of Paris ?

ANSWER : Plaster of Paris is a widely used chemical compound that is extensively used in sculpting materials and gauze bandages. Plaster of Paris is a white powdery chemical compound that is hydrated calcium sulphate that is usually obtained by calcining gypsum. While we have seen many applications of this material in our everyday lives, if we try to understand its chemistry, we will find that it is a white powdery chemical compound that is hydrated calcium sulphate that is usually obtained by calcining gypsum. To put it another way, Plaster of Paris is often manufactured of heated gypsum at a high temperature.

Gypsum plaster is another name for plaster of Paris. Plaster of Paris is expressed as CaSO4. ½ H2O in chemical formula.

Gypsum, CaSO4.2H2O (s) on heating at 100°C (373K) gives CaSO4. ½ H2O and 3/2 H2O
CaSO4. ½ H2O is plaster of paris.
CaSO4. ½ H2O means two formula units of CaSO4 share one molecule of water.

Uses – cast for healing fractures.
