Amphoteric substance A substance that can act as either an acid or a base H2O + HCl H3O+ + Cl- H2O + NH3 NH4+ + OH-
Self ionization H2O + H2O H3O+ + OH-
pH = - log [H+] ion concentration in moles per liter M
pH = negative log of the [H+] pOH = negative log of the [OH+] pCl = negative log of the [CL-] pCO = negative log of the [CO] PBanana = negative log of the [banana]
Ways to determine pH • Taste • Litmus Paper • PH strips • Indicators • pH meter • Acids react with metals or carbonates
