Acid and Bases PH 2022

This document provides information about acids and bases and pH. It defines pH as measuring how acidic or basic a solution is on a scale of 0-14, with values below 7 being acidic and above 7 being basic. Neutral solutions have a pH of 7. Common indicators like litmus paper and phenolphthalein are used to determine if a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral. The document also lists some general properties of acids and bases and provides examples to test in a lab.

Is it an Acid or Base?

7th Grade Science


What is pH???
• pH stands for potential Hydrogen
• 7 is neutral because the Hydrogen and
hydroxyl are equal

__________________________________

HH H H HOH OH OH OH OH
*The greater the Hydrogen (H) the more acidic
*The weaker the hydrogen the more basic (OH)
Acids Bases
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

0-6.9 are Acidic 7 is neutral 7.1-14 are


Basic
pH – scale Top Box
• used to measure how acidic
or basic a solution is
• ranges between 0-14
• pH
7=neutral
 less than 7= acidic
more than 7= basic
ACIDS 1st Left Box
•*sour taste
•*react with some
metals
•*react with base to
form neutral solution
Middle
Box
NEUTRAL SOLUTION
•*neither acid nor base
•*pure water = pH of 7
BASES Top
Right
•*bitter taste
•*slippery feel
•*react with acid to
form neutral solution
General Properties of Acids and Bases

Acids Bases
*Sour in taste *Bitter in taste

*Not slippery *Slippery to touch


To touch

*Dissolve *React with metals to

Indicators –
•used to determine the
relative pH of a solution
• used to determine if a
solution is an acid, base,
or neutral solution
Bottom Middle
pH PAPER
•has a range of colors
depending on pH of
solution
•color of paper is compared
to pH chart/scale (0-14)
LITMUS PAPER Bottom Left
• has special dye that changes
color
• turns violet: neutral solution
• blue litmus : turns red=acid
• blue litmus : stays blue=base
• red litmus : turns blue=base
• red litmus : stays red=acid
Bottom Right
PHENOLPHTHALEIN

• Solution use to test for


presence of a base
• colorless chemical

• turns magenta (bright pink) =base


• stays colorless=neutral or acid
