ACIDS-PROPERTIES-REACTIONS-ICSE

Acid: An acid is a compound which produces Hydronium ions (H3O+) as the only positively charged ions in its aqueous solution.
Example : Hydrochloric acid, Sulphuric acid, Acetic acid etc.
Hydronium ions are responsible for the acid nature of a solution.

When HCl is dissolved in water it ionizes to form H+  and Cl-. The Hydrogen ion (H+ or proton) combines with water molecule and forms Hydronium ion. Thus the resultant solution contains Hydronium ions and Chloride ions. The positively charged ions in this solution are Hydronium ions hence aqueous HCl (Hydrochoric acid) is considered an acid.

Classification of acids:
1.      Based on the origin
Organic acids
Inorganic acids
(mineral acids)
Extracted from living or organic matter.
Derived from minerals
e.g. CH3COOH, HCOOH, etc
e.g. HCl, H2SO4, HNO3 etc.

2.      Based on the constituent elements
Hydracids
Oxy-acids
The acids containing Hydrogen atom/s.
The acids containing Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms.
e.g. HCl, HBr, HI etc.
e.g. HNO3, H2SO4 etc.

3.      Based on the strength
Strong acids
Weak acids
1.      Strong acids undergo complete dissociation in their aqueous solutions
H2SO4 + 2H2O  --> 2H3O+ + SO42-

2.      give a high concentration of Hydronium ions
3.      their solutions contain ions only.

4.      These are good conductors of electricity(strong electrolytes).
1.      Weak acids undergo partial dissociation in their aqueous solutions.

CH3COOH + H2O -->  CH3COO- + H3O+

2.      give a low concentration of Hydromium ions
3.      their solutions contain ions and molecules.
4.      Bad conductors of electricity (weak electrolytes).




4.      Based on the Basicity of the acids
Basicity of an acid: The number of Hydrogen ions(protons) produced by one molecule of an acid in its aqueous solution.

Monobasic acid
Dibasic acid
Tribasic acid
One molecule of this acid produces one Hydrogen ion in its aqueous solution.
e.g. HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH etc.
HNO3 + H2O --> H3O+ + NO3-
One molecule of this acid produces two Hydrogen ions in its aqueous solution.
e.g. H2SO4, H2SO3 etc.

H2SO4 + 2H2O--> 2H3O+ + SO42-
One molecule of this acid produces three Hydrogen ions in its aqueous solution.
e.g. H3PO4

H3PO4 + 3H2O-->3H3O+ + PO43-
Preparations of acids:
1.      From non-metals :
H2 + Cl2   2HCl
2.      By dissolving  Non-metallic oxides (acidic oxides) in water
CO2 + H2O H2CO3
SO2 + H2O H2SO3

3.      By heating salts with non-volatile acids:
NaCl  + Conc. H2SO4 HCl + NaHSO4
            Non-volatile acid

4.      Oxidation of non-metals with strong oxidizing agents:
S +    6HNO3 --> H2SO4 + 2H2O + 6NO2
                  Oxidizing        Sulphuric
                       agent              acid
Reactions of Acids:
1.      Neutralization : Acids react with bases to give salt and water.
HCl + NaOH -->   NaCl + H2O
H2SO4  + CuO -->   CuSO4 + H2O

2.      Dilute acids react with –
i) active metals to produce Hydrogen gas and corresponding salts.
           Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
           H2SO4 + Fe --> FeSO4 + H2
ii) metal carbonates and bicarbonates to give Carbon dioxide
           2HCl + Na2CO3 --> 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O
iii) metal sulphites to give Sulphur dioxide gas
           2HCl + Na2SO3 -->  2NaCl + SO2 + H2O

iv) metal sulphides to give Hydrogen sulphide gas.
           2HCl + Na2S -->  2NaCl + H2S



3.      Less volatile or non-volatile acids react with salts to give volatile acids.
NaCl  +    Conc. H2SO4 --> HCl + NaHSO4
               Non-volatile acid
NaNO3  +   Conc. H2SO4 --> HNO3 + NaHSO4
                 Non-volatile acid
Acid rain:
                       The gases like NO2 , NO , SO2 , SO3 in the air combine with water vapour and produce acids like Nitrous acid, Nitric acid, Sulphurous acid and Sulphuric acid which results in precipitation or rain and has pH below 5.6
                       SO2 + H2O --> H2SO3
                       SO3 + H2O --> H2SO4

                       2NO2 + H2O -->  HNO3 + HNO2
