Overview of Acid Base Solution
Naming Acids
Naming Bases
For Arrhenius definition, most all are metal hydroxide (for example sodium hydroxide)
- Strong bases are metal hydroxides of Group 1 and Group 2 metals (more correct but do not need to memorize for 1st year, there are only 8 of them, hydroxides of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, and Ba)
- Weak bases are other Group metal hydroxide and ammonia (NH3) & its derivative (i.e. CH3NH2, methyl amine). Ammonia and its derivatives are not considered Arrhenius bases but Bronsted-Lowry bases
Naming Salts
- Salts are the General name for any ionic compound so you use your Rules for Naming Ionic Compounds (that you learned earlier in course)
- One way of making a salt is by adding the stoichiometric amounts of a strong acid to a strong base to produce H2O1 and a salt
- The salt compound is made up of the cation of the strong base and the anion of the strong acid (in correct ratios as with all ionic compounds).
- Example, add calcium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid to produce H2O1 and Ca1Cl2 calcium chloride
