Acids, Bases &
Salts
- Acids
- A SUBSTANCE THAT BREAKS APART TO
PRODUCE HYDROGEN IONS (H+)
- HCl & HNO3
- Monobasic: Produce 1
Hydrogen ion
- Mineral Acids/Strong Acid
- HNO3: Used in fertilisers and explosives
- H2SO4
- Dibasic: Produce 2
Hydrogen ions
- Used in Car Batteries,
detergents, fibres and
pigments
- Properties
- Conducts Electricity
- pH= < 7
- Corrosive
- Neutralises Bases
and Alkalis
- Weak Acids
taste Sour
- Alkalis & Bases
- Alkali: Soluble Base
- Strong Alkali: Completely Ionised
- NaOH
- Used in soap and oven cleaner
- KOH
- pH = 11-14
- Weak Alkali: Partially Ionised
- NH3
- pH = 8-11
- Used in fertilisers nitric acid
and nylon
- Properties
- Conducts Electricity
- pH = > 7
- Corrosive Liquids
- Neutralise Acids
- Weak Alkalis feel soapy
- Base: Substance that
reacts to form Salt and
Water only

- Universal
Indicator
- Strong Acid/Dilute Hydrochloric Acid: 0-2
- Weak Acid/Ethanoic Acid: 3-4
- Weak Acid/Rain Water: 5-6
- Neutral/Water or Sodium Chloride: 7
- Weak Alkali: 8-9
- Weak Alkali/Ammonia: 10-11
- Strong Alkali/Sodium Carbonate or Sodium Hydroxide: 12-14
- Neutralisation
- H+ + OH- = H20
- Occurs when H+ ions react
with OH- ions to form water
