Same rules as the binary acids, except the ate/-ite are replaced by ic and ous (respectively) So: If the polyatomic ion ends in -ATE it gets replaced by IC (I ate in the café and went ic!) If the polyatomic ion ends in -ITE it gets replaced by OUS 2 nd word in name: Add the word acid as the second word in the name Ex: HNO 3 Ex: HNO 2 Ex: HC 2 H 3 O 2 8

Sometimes you must just go with what rolls off the tongue more smoothly! Ex: H 2 SO 3 Ex: H 2 SO 4 Rules for Naming Bases: *much easier than Naming Acids! 1) Name the 1 ST ION in the formula AS IS. This will always be the + ion and will either be a metal (ex: Na) or a polyatomic ion (ex: NH 4 ) 2) Name the -OH ON THE END AS HYDROXIDE (separate second word in the name) Table E says that OH is called hydroxide 3) NOTE: it does not matter how many you have of each when it comes to the positive or negative ion (see second example below). Don t ever use prefixes! Ex: LiOH Ex: Mg(OH) 2 Ex: NH 4 OH Practice Naming: Acid Name Hydrobromic acid Carbonic acid Acid Formula Anion name/symbol H 2 S HClO 2 Base Name Sodium hydroxide Formula Ca(OH) 2 9

Below is a list of hydrogen compounds that do not dissociate to yield H + ions. Non-Examples of Acids: H 2 O = water (neutral & amphoteric) CH 4 = methane (natural gas) C 6 H 12 O 6 = glucose (sugar) H 2 O 2 = hydrogen peroxide NH 3 = ammonia (a weak BASE!!!) 10

When in water, this H + ION is naturally ATTRACTED to the unshared electrons and slight negative charge of the oxygen in the water. It is believed that the hydrogen ion cannot exist as an isolated particle so what forms is called a HYDRONIUM ION (H 3 O + ). According to the Arrhenius theory, the properties of acids are functions of these hydronium (hydrogen) ions. So, because of this, we say that H + = H 3 O + DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARRHENIUS ACIDS: Monoprotic acids (1 H + ) acids that ionize in 1 STEP; acids that produce 1 H + ION in solution Ex: HCl + Diprotic acids (2 H + ) acids that ionize in 2 STEPS; acids that produce 2 H + IONS in solution Ex: H 2 SO 4 + - HSO 4 + Triprotic acids (3 H + ) acids that ionize in 3 STEPS; acids that produce 3 H + IONS in solution Ex: H 3 PO 4 + - H 2 PO 4 + 2- HPO 4 + 11

Examples: NaOH(aq), Ca(OH) 2 (aq) GENERAL RULE FOR BASES: contains OH at the end of the formula **One Exception to Rule: NH 3 = Ammonia Monohydroxy Bases produce 1 OH in aqueous sol n (single step).

Example: Al(OH) 3 + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ **Not all compounds that contain OH are bases. For example, ALCOHOLS and ORGANIC ACIDS are NOT BASES. Below is a list of compounds that contain OH but do not dissociate to yield OH - ions. Non-Examples of Bases: HOH = water (neutral & amphoteric) CH 3 OH = methanol (an alcohol) CH 3 COOH = methanoic acid (an organic acid) 12

The concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution will determine whether a solution is acidic or basic. The ph scale ranges from 0 TO 14 (ACIDIC neutral BASIC) 0 7 14 ACIDIC NEUTRAL BASIC In an acidic substance [H + ] > [OH - ] (brackets indicate concentration) In a basic substance [H + ] < [OH - ] In a neutral substance [H + ] = [OH - ] Example: H 2 O The ph scale is LOGARITHMIC (based on exponents of the number 10) 1. log (10) = 2. log (100) = 3. log (1) = 4. log (.01) = The ph of a solution is the negative log of the [H + ]: ph = -log[h + ] 1. ph of 1.0 M HClO 4 = -log (1.0) = 2. ph of.5 M H 2 SO 4 = -log (.5) = 3. ph of.01 M HBr = -log (.01) = 4. ph of 12 M HCl = -log (12) = 15

(2) The ANION from the acid and the CATION from the base combine to produce a salt. *Neutralization rxns are always DOUBLE REPLACEMENT reactions! **Remember, just like any compound, the (+) and (-) charges must be balanced. Use the Criss Cross Rule to figure out the correct formula for the salt water is always the formula H 2 O!

The ENDPOINT of a titration is the ph of the solution at the desired color (change). What does a Titration look like? http://auth.mhhe.com/physsci/chemistry/animations/chang_7e_esp/crm3s5_5.swf Titration formula (Table T): M A V A = M B V B Where: M A = molarity of acid (H + ) V A = volume of acid M B = molarity of base (OH - ) V B = volume of base Use this formula when you are dealing with a titration or neutralization word problem Make sure that all units are in agreement when plugging into formula (so they cancel out and you get the right answer!) 22
