Acids and Bases Indicators
ACIDS Acids in solution are sources of hydrogen ions. Litmus goes red in acid and blue in alkali.
Acidic solutions have lower pH values than neutral pH 7. Methyl orange is red in acidic conditions, yellow in neutral and
BASES A base is any substance that reacts with an acid to form a alkaline conditions.
salt and water only. Phenolphthalein is colourless in acidic and neutral conditions and
Alkalis (soluble bases) in solution are sources of pink in alkaline conditions.
hydroxide ions. Universal indicator - scale runs from 0 (red), 7 (green) to 14 (blue).
Alkaline solutions have higher pH values than neutral 7.
Reactions
Higher H+ concentration = lower pH
Higher OH- concentration = higher pH Salts made when metals react Zinc + Nitric acid = Zinc Nitrate
with nitric acid are called nitrates. + Hydrogen

reaction with acid is violent.
Weak only partially ionised in aqueous solution. Ethanoic, citric
acid and carbonic. Further, it has a lower pH than a strong acid
(aq) of the same concentration. This is because a weak
acid has a lower concentration of hydrogen ions.
Reactions (Part2)
Salts can be made by reacting an Acid + Alkali + Salt + Water
acid with an alkali.
Salts can be made by reacting an Acid + Bases = Salt + Water
acid with a insoluble base.
Salts can be made by reacting an Acid + Metal carbonate = Salt +
acid with a metal carbonate. Water + Carbon dioxide
Acids are neutralized by alkalis (e.g.: soluble metal hydroxides) and
bases (e.g.: insoluble metal hydroxides and metal oxides) to produce
salts and water and by metal carbonates to produce salts, water and
carbon dioxide. The salt name depends on the acid used and the
positive ions in the alkali, base or carbonate.
