    Acid and Base Lab


    Introduction

    A liquid may be an acid, base, or neutral. The degree of acidity or basicity


    can be measured by using the pH scale. The scale is divided into three areas: Acid
    (readings below 7) and basic (readings above 7). Each division either increases or
    decreases the pH of a substance 10 times. The pH of 5 is ten times more acidic than
    a pH of 6. Water has a pH of 7 but when it mixes with air the suspended materials
    will either raise or lower its pH. Acid Rain is an example of this type of reaction.
    Objective

    The student will determine the pH of various substances and will also
    determine how some of these substances can affect the environment.
    Materials
    pH paper and chart
    well plate

    pipettes
    various household solutions

    Procedure

    1. Put a drop of each substance, one per well on the well plate. Remember, do
    NOT come in contact with any of the materials and do not mix-n-match
    pipettes.
    2. Using your knowledge of the pH scale, hypothesize whether the liquid
    would be an acid or base. Record this number on your data table.
    3. Pick up a piece of pH paper with dry hands.
    4. Touch the pH paper to the liquid in well A and remove it. Compare the
    color of the paper with that on the pH chart. Record your observations on the
    chart below.
    5. Repeat the procedure with the rest of the slides.

    Analysis
    1. Which of the liquids had the lowest pH?
    Vinegar
    2. Which of the liquids had the highest pH?
    Dishwashing Liquid
    3. Which of the liquid(s) were closest to being neutral?
    Salt Water and Dishwashing Liquid
    4. If the pH of a sample was 3, how many times more acidic is it than a solution with a pH
    of 6?
    The sample would be 1000 times more acidic than the solution with the pH of 6.
    5. How might one correct the pH of a lake with a reading of 3? Explain your reasoning.
    You can correct the pH of the lake by trying to neutralizing it, so it can be balanced.
    Since it has the pH of 3 then its very acidic, so to balance it you need to add more
    base to the lake.
    Biological Applications of pH:
    1. What is the pH of human blood?
    The pH of human blood is 7.4.
    2. What would happen to our bodies if blood pH was changed or altered?

    When a humans pH changes or alters, the human will die.

    3. The pH of stomach acid is 2, why is this both good, but possibly destructive to our bodies?

    Priscilla Penaloza period 7

    The stomach acid in our bodies can be good because it can make your food particles
    smaller, but it can also be bad for our bodies because too much of pH in the stomach acid
    can affect the other systems in our bodies.

    4. What could happen to our local environment if a company pumped materials into the
    atmosphere which created a drastic pH change in the rain water?

    It will make the people around the environment sick and they could die as well.

    5. When we eat too many tomato products (ex. Salsa) our stomachs can become upset. Using
    your understanding of pH and the pH chart in your text, why does an antacid make you feel
    better?

    The antacid helps balance the pH in your stomach.

    6. Real World Application:


    Fort Castillo De San Marco is located in St. Augustine, Florida. The fort was originally built
    using coquina rock. The mortar used to hold the coquina together was made with ground
    limestone (lime) and sand. Over the years, environmental factors have caused the structure of
    the Fort to deteriorate. Many say it is due to acid rain. Why would acid rain affect the coquina
    and lime?
    The acid rain will break down the lime stone, turning it black and eventually crumble.
