Document Summary

12:17 pm: properties of acids and bases. Acids and bases react with each other in a process called neutralization. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid to break down food and destroy bacteria but is the cause of heartburn. 2hcl (strong acid) + caco3 (strong base) = cacl2 (weak base: acid-base equilibria. We know that hcl is a strong acid, which means that the position of this equilibrium lies very far to the right. In contrast, acetic acid is a weak acid, and the position of its equilibrium lies very far to the left. To predict the position of an acid-base equilibrium such as this, we do the following: Identify the two acids in the equilibrium; one on the left and one on the right. Using the information in table 8-2, determine which is the stronger acid and which is the weaker acid.
