Definitions

Acids: It is a chemical compound containing one or more replaceable hydrogen ions which are completely or partially replaced by a metallic element or a group of elements acting as a metal to produce salt

Basicity of Acid:It s the number of replaceable hydrogen atoms present in one molecule of an acid.

Hydracid:It is an acid containing hydrogen atoms and an electronegative element other than oxygen is known as hydracid.

Oxyacid:It is an acid containing hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms is known as oxyacid.

Heat of Neutralization:The amount of heat released when 1 gram equivalent of an acid and a base is completely neutralized is known as heat of neutralization.

DefinitionsStrong Acids: An acid which is completely ionized into its constituent ions when dissolved in water (α>30%) thereby producing large concentration of H+ ions in the solution is known as strong acid.

Weak Acids:An acid which is partially ionized into its constituent ions when dissolved in water (α<30%) thereby producing small concentration of H+ ions in the solution is known as weak acid.

Concentrated Acid:It is an acid containing more acid than water in its aqueous solution.

Dilute Acid:It is an acid containing less acid than water in its aqueous solution. [less than 1 mole/litre]

Definitions

Indicators: Indicators are weak organic compounds [ acids or bases ] which change colour in accordance with the pH of the solution.

pH of a Solution:pH of a solution is the negative logarithm [to the base 10] of hydrogen ion concentration in the solution, expressed in moles/litre.

pH = log [ H+ ] ( [ H+ ] is the molar concentration)

pH Scale:It is a scale showing the relative strength of acids and alkalis.

Contents Indicators

Page 47: Acids, Bases and Salts.pptx

pH Value of a Medium•Pure water is neutral and ionizes very slightly to yield equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions.•The concentration of [H+] ions and [OH-] ions are both equal to 10-7 mol.dm-3 [at 25° C].•Thus the product of the two ionic concentrations is –

kW = ionic product of water = [H+][OH-] = 10-7x10-7 = 10-14 [at 25° C]• When an acid is added to the aqueous medium the [H+] ion concentration increases above 10-7 and at the same time the [OH-] ion concentration decreases to below 10-7.
