Acid-Base Neutralization 2nd

The document discusses acid-base neutralization reactions. It explains that when an acid and base react, they form a salt and water. It provides examples of acid-base reactions and writes out the complete, ionic, and net ionic equations for reactions between HCl and NaOH and between HNO3 and Ca(OH)2. The key products of acid-base neutralization reactions are a salt and water.

Acid-Base Neutralization

Reactions
Chem 12
Acid + Base  Salt + Water

• Orange juice + milk  bad taste


• Evergreen shrub + concrete  dead bush
• Under a pine tree + fertilizer  white powder

• HCl + NaOH  NaCl + HOH


salt water
Acid-Base Neutralization
Reactions

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq)  NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

• The products of an acid-base


neutralization reaction are a salt made up
of the positive ion of the base (Na+) and
the negative ion (Cl-) of the acid, and
water.
• Remember, in writing the correct formula
for the salt, the total positive charge of
the ions in the salt must equal the total
negative charge of the ions in the salt.

• Make sure you write the correct formula


for the products, salt and water first, then
balancing the equation.
• The particles present in the HCl(aq) solution due to
ionization are

HCl(g) + H2O(l)  H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)


Or

HCl(g)  H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)


• The particles present in the NaOH(aq) solution due
to dissociation are

NaOH(aq)  Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)


• Therefore, the ionic equation for the
reaction is

H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) 


Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + 2H2O(l)
or
H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) 
Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O(l)
• If we remove the spectator ions, Na+(aq) and
Cl-(aq), we are left with the net ionic equation
for the acid-base neutralization reaction:

H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)  2H2O(l)


Or

H+(aq) + OH-(aq)  H2O(l)


• Therefore, in an acid-base neutralization
reaction we can see that it is the
hydronium ion from the acid that reacts
with the hydroxide ion from the base to
produce neutral water.
• Since the hydronium ion gives the acid its
properties and the hydroxide ion gives the
base its properties, the acid-base reaction
has resulted in the neutralization of the
properties of both the acid and the base.
