Topics in Acids, Bases and Salts

1

1. Indicators and Basic Tests

  • Litmus is a natural acid-base indicator extracted from lichen, which belongs to Thallophyta.
  • In neutral solution, litmus is purple.
  • Acids turn blue litmus red.
2

2. Reactions of Acids and Bases

  • Acids react with metals to form salt and hydrogen gas.
  • Generally hydrogen gas is evolved when an acid reacts with a metal.
  • Zinc reacts with dilute HCl to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

3. Acids, Bases, Water, and Ions

  • Acids show acidic properties because they produce hydrogen ions in water.
  • Hydrogen ions cannot exist as bare ions in water; they form hydronium ions.
  • Hydronium ions are represented as H3O+.
4

4. Strength, pH, and Indicators

  • Strength of an acid or base depends on the concentration of H3O+ ions or OH- ions produced in solution.
  • Strong acids give more H3O+ ions.
  • Weak acids give fewer H3O+ ions.

Key Concepts

Central concept: Acids, bases and salts are substances that show distinct chemical behaviour, can be identified using indicators and pH, and undergo important reactions to form salts and water or gases in everyday life and industry.
