Acids and Bases
by zac and nate
ph scale
the ph scale is a scale that consist of acids and bases from the most higher in acids to neutral chemicals to higher bases.
acids
a Lewis acid is any substance such as h+ iron that can accept a pair of non bonding electrons
The strength of an acid is related to the proportion of it which has reacted with water tp produce ions
STRONG ACIDS
1.hci
2. hno3
3. h2so4
weak acids
1. ch3coh
2.hcooh
3. hf (hydrofluoric acids )
acids are sour and react with bases to from water and salts
bases
A Lewis base is any substance such as the oh-ion that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons
the usual way of comparing the strength of bases is to see how readily they produce hydroxide ions in solution
strong bases
1. nach
2.kch
3.ba(ch)
weak bases
1.nh3
2.ch3nh2
3.c5h5n
bases are bitter and contain hydroxide
acid rain
is a mixture of wet and dry deposition
acid rain effect
a forest afterwards
