    Key words Year 7 Chemistry: Acids and Alkalis

    Corrosive The hazard for a substance that


    Concentration
    causes chemical burns.
    Acids and alkalis come in different number, the stronger the
    Concentration A measure of the number of substance concentrations e.g. 1M or 0.1M. The higher the
    concentration.
    particles in a given volume.
    The concentration of something tells you how many particles are
    Acids A group of chemicals with similar
    properties e.g. a sour taste. dissolved in one litre of water, in this case acid or alkali
    particles.
    Alkalis A group of chemicals with similar When there are lots of particles dissolved, we say the liquid is
    properties e.g. a soapy feel. They are concentrated. We can make it less concentrated by adding more
    formed when a base is
    water.
    dissolved in water.
    Base A group of chemicals which can
    dissolve in water to form alkalis.
    Acids
    Indicators Substances used to identify Acids are a group of chemicals with similar properties. For
    whether unknown solutions are acidic example, they all taste sour.
    or alkaline. Lemon juice, vinegar and milk are all acids.
    Common laboratory acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl),
    Neutral A substance which is neither acidic sulfuric acid, (H2SO4), nitric acid (HNO3).
    nor alkaline.
    Alkalis
    The pH scale A measure of how acidic or
    Bases are chemically opposite to acids. When a base is dissolved
    alkaline a substance is from 0 to 14. in water, we call it an alkali.
    Reactant Substances that react together, Alkalis all have similar properties, for example they feel soapy.

    equation. Common laboratory alkalis include sodium hydroxide (NaOH),
    Neutralisation A reaction where an acid and an potassium hydroxide (KOH) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH).
    alkali react together to form a Neutral substances
    Substances which are neither an acid nor an alkali are neutral.
    neutral substance.

    are the reactants in the chemical reaction.

    The pH scale uses Universal Indicator to show how acidic

    Neutralisation can be used as a remedy for stings
    and to reduce the damage caused to teeth by acid
    in the mouth.

    Acids have a pH of less than 7 and turn universal indicator red,


    orange or yellow.
    Alkalis have a pH of more than 7 and turn Universal Indicator dark
    green, blue or purple.
    A solution which is neither acidic nor alkaline is described as being
    neutral and has a pH of 7. Neutral substances turn Universal
    Indicator green.
