Date: ___________ ACIDS and BASES I. THEORY Acids and bases occur in many solutions and items in the home. The acidity and alkalinity of such solutions and household items can be determined based on some of their characteristics, such as taste and feel, and the use of indicators. Indicators are compunds that turn different colors in acidic or basic solutions. Litmus papers can be used as a qualitative means to test solutions, while, pH papers and pH meters can be used to make quantitative observations that can be used for a more specific comparison of solutions. II. OBJECTIVES To measure the pH of different substances using different pH measuring tools. III. MATERIALS pH paper pH meter litmus paper beaker IV. PROCEDURE Determine the pH values for each of the given substances using pH paper, litmus paper and pH meter. Substances pH value from pH value from Color change in litmus pH paper pH meter paper Blue turns Red to turns to Vinegar Lemon Juice Tomato Juice Baking Soda solution Detergent solution V. QUESTIONS 1. Based on the measured pH values, which of the solutions are acids? ___________________________________________________________________ Which of the solutions are bases? __________________________________________________________________ 2. Which among the acids tested is the weakest?________ 3. Which among the tested acids is the strongest?_________ 4. Which among the tested bases is the weakest?_________ 5. Which among the tested bases is the strongest?________ GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2 Quarter 4 A. Identification
Direction: Identify what is being asked and write the answer on the space provided. __________________1. This is a tool used in measuring the pH of a substance and is coated with a chemical indicator that transitions in the presence of hydroxen or hydroxide ion. __________________2. A strip of paper that is chemically treated with a dye. Blue paper turns red under acid conditions. __________________3. A scientific instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in water based soulutions.
__________________4. A unit of measure which describes the degree of acidity or alkalinity
of a solution. _________________5. It is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity. B. Problem Solving 1. What is the pH of a solution if the [H3O] is 3.4 x10-5M?
