 ACIDS & BASES

Meaning of ACID
 An acid is a chemical substance which ionises in………………. to produce
………….ions, H+.
HCl  H+ + Cl-
HNO3  H+ + NO3-
H2SO4  2H+ + SO42-
CH3COOH  CH3COO- + H+

 The hydrogen ion combines with a water molecule, H2O to form a


……………………….. ion, H3O+.
H+ + H2O  H3O+
Without The presence of ……………ion
or ………….ion, a substance cannot
show its acidic properties
Basicity of Acids
 Acid can be classified as a ……………… acid
or a ……………… acid based on its basicity.
 (Basicity is the number of ionisable ……………

atoms per molecule of an acid.)

Acids

Uses of Acids & Bases page 138 - F4 Chemistry textbook

(a) To use as chemical reagent


Example: sodium hydroxide solution, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid

(b) To manufacture and preserve food


Example: Ethanoic acid (vinegar), benzoic acid
(c)To make various medicine
Example: Magnesium oxide  antacid medicine,
Ascorbic acid  vitamin C
(d)To produce soap, detergent and others
Example: Sodium hydroxide  to make soap and detergent
