Theory: A) In 1884, the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius theorized compounds would be classified into two different substances. These two substances are acids and bases. The Arrhenius Theory of acids and bases states that acids are substances that dissociate to form charged atoms known as ions. Bases ionize to produce hydroxide ions while acids produce hydrogen ions. HCl is an example of an Arrhenius acid because it dissociate into an H+ ion. The reaction involving NaOH is an example of an Arrhenius base because it is increasing the concentration of (OH-) ions. The reaction which occurs is a neutralization reaction because the H+ and OH- ions react to form water. H+ and OH- → H2O The acidic behavior acids such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, and acetic acid and the basic properties of well-known hydroxides such as sodium and potassium hydroxide are explained and based on their ability to produce hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Acids and bases are classified as strong or weak acids and bases depending on the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions produced. The Arrhenius Theory however is not as extensive and has many limitations. The Brønsted-Lowy Theory states that all acid-base reactions involve the transfer of an Hydrogen (H+) ion, or proton. Acids are "proton donors" while bases are "proton acceptors." The Brønsted Theory adds on to the Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases. It can be described as the transfer of protons from one substance to another substance. Hydroxide ions (OH-) are bases because they “accept” hydrogen ions from acids to for water. Acids produce Hydrogen ions (H+) which react with water molecules giving them a proton. The diagram below depicts the reaction of HCl with NH3. In the reaction, HCl ... ... middle of paper ... ...ations served as background information for the calculations and for the general procedure of the lab. The solid acid, when added to water ionized to form charged particles causing the solution to have a certain pH that could be figured out from a titration curve graph. The acid used in this lab, KHP, ionized in water and formed Hydronium ions in the water. These ionized particles were what gave the acid a certain pH and those particles were what was being neutralized in the reaction. Multiple titrations were performed to neutralize the acid, in each titration, the lab groups attempted to reach the exact endpoint of the reaction without going over it. The endpoint was indicated by a slight color change in the solution to a pale pink color. When the endpoint was achieved, the calculations for the moles of acid to the moles of base were equal at that point.
20.0cm3 of 0.10M ethanoic acid was pipetted into a conical flask. 3. 0.10M sodium hydroxide solution was titrated using phenolphthalein as indicator, until the solution was just turned pink. 4. A further 20.0cm3 of the same ethanoic acid solution was added to the flask and was mixed thoroughly.
Most substances fall on a scale ranging from the most acidic to the the most basic with neutral substances falling somewhere in the middle. Scientists call this the pH scale. pH levels are measured in numbers,0 to 14. The closer a substance is to zero the more acidic it would be. The closer to 14 the more basic a substance would be.Now what defines an acid and a base, one might ask? There are three ways of defining acids, each singling out a specific property. The first theory is the Arrhenius Theory with states, that an acid is a substance that produces the ion H+ when in a water solution, while a base is a substance which produces the ion OH- when in a water solution. Examples of an Arrhenius acid are HCl and HNO3. Examples of an Arrhenius base are NaOH and AlOH3.

Acid-Base balance is the state of equilibrium between proton donors and proton acceptors in the buffering system of the blood that is maintained at approximately pH 7.35 to 7.45 under normal conditions in arterial blood. It is important to regulate chemical balance or homeostasis of body fluids. Acidity or alkalinity has to be regulated. An acid is a substance that lets out hydrogen ions in solution. Strong acid like hydrochloric acid release all or nearly all their hydrogen ions and weak acids like carbonic acid release some hydrogen ions.
Reaction Between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium Introduction In the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. Hydrochloric acid will dissolve the magnesium and produce hydrogen. gas. The sand is All chemical reactions involve reactants which when mixed may cause a chemical reactions which will make products. In my case, the reactants are hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon.

Neutralization Experiment AIM:- To investigate how heat is given out in neutralizing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) using different concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid. Background Information:- Substances that neutralize acids are called alkalis. An acid is a substance that forms hydrogen ions (H+ ) when placed in water. It can also be described as a proton donor as it provides H+ ions. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) etc.
If I were to roughly plot a graph for the reaction, it would look like
Electrolysis Investigation Planning In this investigation, I will assess how changing the electric current in the electrolysis of acidified water affects the rate at which hydrogen gas is produced. The solution to be electrolysed is made up using acid and water. It is of little consequence what acid is used however in this case I will use Sulphuric acid (H2SO4). When H2SO4 is put in water it is dissociated and forms ions: H2SO4 → 2H (2+) + SO4 (2-) Ions are also present from the water in the solution: H2O → H (+) + OH (-) During the electrolysis process, the positive hydrogen ions move towards the cathode and the negative hydroxide and sulphate ions move towards the anode.
Hydrochloric acid is a strong and corrosive acid that is often used as a reagent in laboratories.
The simplest experiment for this type of situation would be to use red and blue litmus paper to distinguish between acids, bases and salts. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) makes blue litmus paper change color going from blue to red, making it an acid. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) makes red litmus paper change color going from red to blue, making it a base. Sodium chloride solution (NaCl) is neutral, since it would only soak blue and red litmus paper, considering that it is a by product of when an acid and a base mix together, neutralizing each other.
strong base ( contained OH ) were 100% ionized in water and they were all
The acid base reaction was identified knowing compounds containing OH are bases and compounds with H+ are considered acids. The reactions were also identified as metathesis because “bimolecular reaction involve only two reactants” ( During the reactions, it was observed when potassium aluminum hydroxide was mixed with sulfuric acid, the transparency of the mixture was altered from clear to opaque and the consistency of the mixture was described as a slushy-like. The mixture had to be heated on a hot plate in order to prevent the formation of solid material taking place prematurely while the sulfuric acid was still being added. After being heated, the consistency of the mixture was liquefied than before without the almost solid material present. The final reaction took place when alum crystals were formed when the products of the two previous reactions reacted with each other. The potassium sulfate in the second reaction, the aluminum sulfate in the third reaction, and the water from both reactions became the reactants used in the final reaction of alum
