Chemical Synthesis Lesson 2
Learning objective: To explain the reactions involving acids. • Must: Describe the p. H scale. Grade D • Must: Describe what happens during a neutralisation reaction. Grade C • Should: Predict the name of products formed during acid reactions. Grade B • Could: Write balanced symbol equations for the acid reactions. Grade A • Keywords: p. H scale, salt, acid, word equation and balanced equation.
Let’s make a rainbow. • Key skill used. • That you can read and understand texts and take the appropriate action. • As a team worker you can collaborate with others to work towards common goals.
p. H scale. • The p. H scale tells us how acidic or alkaline a solution is. It is used to measure and help control the p. H in a range of industries.
p. H scale 1. Indicators can be used to find out whether a solution is acid, alkaline or neutral 2. Universal Indicator can be used to find the p. H of a solution • Acid – red, p. H less than 7 • Neutral – green, p. H = 7 • Alkali – blue, p. H greater than 7

Important acids. • Hydrochloric acid – HCl(aq) • Nitric acid– HNO 3(aq) • Sulfuric acid – H 2 SO 4(aq) • Make sure you learn and remember them! • What does the (aq) mean?
Acidic compounds in different states. • Acids that are solids – citric and tartaric. • Acids that are liquids – nitric, sulfuric and ethanoic. • Acids that are gases – hydrogen chloride.
Formula of some alkalis. • Sodium hydroxide – Na. OH • Potassium hydroxide – KOH • Magnesium hydroxide – Mg(OH)2 • Learn and remember these!
What is an acid? • All acids contain hydrogen atoms. • When acids dissolve in water they produce hydrogen ions, H+. • HCl(g) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) • That is why acids only behave like acids when they are dissolved in water.
What about alkalis? • The same can be applied to alkalis. • This time it is the presence of the OH- ion that makes a substance an alkali. • Strong alkalis like Na. OH sodium hydroxide split up completely. • Na. OH(aq) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
What happens to the ions during neutralisation.
Ionic equations • The reaction between acids and alkalis can be represented by the following equation: • Acid and alkali • H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H 2 O(l) • Note that water is produced.

Discover - Monitoring Neutralisation. • Follow the instructions for AC 6. 13. • Add 5 cm 3 of HCl up to 35 cm 3 and then 1 cm 3 up to 45 cm 3 • Record your results and plot the graph. • Make sure you wear goggles. • Key skills • Read and understand texts and take appropriate action. • Use appropriate mathematical procedures. • Examine patterns and relationships. • Team worker – collaborate with others to work towards common goals.
Strong acid/base titration. This is the shape of the curve when a strong acid is reacted with a strong base. What do you notice about the shape?
