ACIDS,
BASES
AND
SALTS
Acids
An
acid
is
a
compound
that
is
defined
by
its
physical
and
chemical
properties.
Acids
taste
sour
and
react
with
metals
and
polyatomic
ions
called
carbonates.
A
carbonate
is
a
charged
cluster
of
Carbon
and
Oxygen
atoms.
In
addition,
when
tested
with
blue
litmus
paper,
acids
turn
the
paper
red.
Bases
A
base
or
hydroxide,
like
an
acid,
is
also
defined
by
its
properties.
Bases
taste
bitter,
are
slippery
to
the
touch
and
turn
red
litmus
paper
blue.
An
example
of
a
base
is
NaOH
or
sodium
hydroxide.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
are
the
two
names
for
the
substance
that
turns
red
litmus
paper
blue?
Common
Uses
of
Acids
and
Bases
Acids
and
bases
have
many
uses.
Acids
can
be
used
to
clean
brick
and
metal
and
are
an
important
ingredient
in
fertilizers.
H2SO4
or
sulfuric
acid
is
used
in
car
batteries.
Bases
are
used
in
the
construction
industry
to
make
cement
and
are
used
around
the
home
in
drain
cleaners
and
glass
cleaners.
In
the
baking
industry,
the
base,
baking
soda,
is
used
to
create
the
gas
bubbles
that
make
dough
rise.

In
Solutions
In
water
solutions,
acids
break
down
into
ions
or
charged
atoms.
In
the
example
below,
Hydrochloric
acid
in
water
has
broken
down
into
a
Hydrogen
ion
and
a
Chlorine
ion.
It
is
the
Hydrogen
ion
that
gives
acids
their
chemical
properties.
HCl
H+
+
Cl-
Bases
in
solution
behave
the
same
as
acids.
In
the
example
below
Potassium
hydroxide
has
broken
down
into
a
potassium
ion
and
a
hydroxide
ion.
KOH
K+
+
OH-
In
the
case
of
bases,
it
is
the
hydroxide
ions
that
give
bases
their
properties.
Acids
and
bases
vary
in
strength
depending
on
the
degree
to
which
they
break
down
into
ions
in
solution.
The
more
acid
or
base
molecules
that
break
down,
the
stronger
is
the
acid
or
base.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
determines
the
strengths
of
an
acid
or
base
in
solution?
The
pH
Scale
The
strength
of
an
acid
or
base
can
be
measured
on
the
pH
scale.
On
this
scale,
numbers
1-7
indicate
acids,
7
is
considered
neutral
and
7-
14
indicate
a
base.
On
the
scale
below,
hydrochloric
acid,
with
the
lowest
pH,
is
the
strongest
acid
and
drain
cleaner,
with
a
very
high
pH,
is
the
strongest
base.

In
our
bodies,
pH
is
important
for
the
digestion
of
food.
Low
pH
numbers
in
the
stomach
help
the
body
break
down
proteins.
When
food
gets
to
the
small
intestine,
pH
levels
are
raised
above
7
to
complete
another
phase
of
digestion.
When
an
acid
combines
with
a
base
a
double
replacement
reaction
takes
place.
In
this
type
of
reaction,
called
neutralization,
an
acid
and
a
base
become
salt
and
water.
See
this
reaction
below.
Reactants
Products
In
this
reaction,
HCl,
hydrochloric
acid,
is
reacting
with
sodium
hydroxide.
NaCl
,
sodium
chloride,
is
the
salt
formed
from
the
negative
ion
of
the
acid
(Cl-)
and
the
positive
ion
of
the
base
(Na+).
All
salts
are
formed
in
this
manner.

Checkpoint:
What
happens
when
an
acid
and
a
base
combine?
