2.31: Know that Acids in Aqueous Solution are a Source of Hydrogen Ions and Alkalis in a Aqueous Solution are a Source of Hydroxide Ions



ACIDS AND ALKALIS
s
  • When atoms or groups of atoms lose or gains Electrons, they form charged particles called Ions - either positively or negatively charged
s

*ACIDS:
s
  • When Acids dissolve in Water to form an Aqueous Solution, they produce Hydrogen ions (H+) which makes the Aqueous Solution Acidic
 s
    Example: Hydrochloric Acid
s
HCl (aq)   →    H+ (aq)    +    Cl- (aq)
    
    *Acids are often produced from Non-Metal Oxides, E.g Sulfur Oxides produce    
     Sulfuric Acid
s

*ALKALIS:
s
  • When Alkalis dissolve in Water to form an Aqueous Solution, they produce Hydroxide ions ( OH- ) which makes the Aqueous Solution an Alkali
 s
    Example: Sodium Hydroxide
s
NaOH (aq)   →    Na+ (aq)    +    OH- (aq)
