The Acid Test Acids, Bases and pH
Range of pH scale • The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. • There are no units of measure for pH *
What do the numbers mean? • A pH of 7 is neutral • Pure water has a pH of 7*
How about below 7? • Anything below 7 is acidic • 0 is the most acidic and 6.99999 is the least acidic • The further something is from 7 the more acidic it is*
How about above 7? • higher than 7 is basic/alkaline • So 7.000001 is a weak base and 14 is the most basic (or alkaline)*
pH Range 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 910 11 12 13 14 Neutral [H+]>[OH-][H+] = [OH-][OH-]>[H+] Acidic Basic
The pH Scale • pH measures acidity and alkalinity (how basic) a liquid is*

Measuring pH Litmus paper, pH paper, and pH meters*
Litmus paper • Litmus paper cannot tell you the exact pH of a substance. • It can only tell you if it is an acid or a base • Blue litmus turns pink in the presence of an acid • Red litmus turns blue in the presence of a base*
pH paper • pH paper can tell you approximate pH values. • By placing one end of the pH paper in the solution it will turn a color which can be matched to the color code key. *
Indicators • Indicators: • Weak organic acids and bases whose colors differ from the colors of their conjugate acids or bases. • The color is best viewed from above against a white background
Acid / Base Indicators • Indicator • Lower Color • pH Range • Upper Color • methyl violet • yellow-green • 0.0 - 2.5 • violet • methyl orange • red • 2.5 - 4.4 • yellow • congo red • blue • 3.0 - 5.0 • red • bromocresol green • yellow • 4.5 - 5.5 • blue • methyl red • red • 4.8 - 6.0 • yellow • bromocresol purple • yellow-green • 5.4 - 6.8 • violet • bromothymol blue • yellow • 6.0 - 7.6 • blue • phenol red • yellow • 6.4 - 8.2 • red-violet • cresol red • yellow • 7.1 - 8.8 • violet • phenolphthalein • colorless • 8.3 - 10.0 • dark pink • Phenolphthalein is a common indicator to use in neutralization titrations. The solution is considered neutral when the solution holds a very faint pink color for half a minute or more. • alizarin yellow R • yellow • 9.9 - 11.8 • dark orange Table of Indicators
pH Meter • The most precise and usually more accurate way to measure pH is using a pH meter which directly measures the amount of [H3O+] in the solution • Uses an electrode which specifically measures the pH of the solution. • This is a larger model. Some are small enough to be hand-held.*
What is an Acid? • Sour Taste (We never taste chemicals in lab) • release hydrogen (H+) • React with metals to release H2 • React with a base to produce water and a salt (neutralization reaction) • Some that completely dissociate conduct current (electrolytes) • Turns blue litmus paper red*
Naming Acids Binary (begin with hydro-) Oxyacids do not have hydro- *
Naming Binary Acids • Binary acids contain hydrogen and one other element • Binary acids begin with hydro- • Binary acids end with –ic*
HF HCl HBr HI H2S Hydrofluoric acid Hydrochloric acid Hydrobromic acid Hydroiodic acid Hydrosulfuric acid* Test your naming skills of these acids
Oxyacid • An acid that is a compound of hydrogen, oxygen and a third element (usually a nonmetal) • These do not contain hydro- • Can end in either –ic or –ous*
CH3COOH H2CO3 HIO3 HClO HClO2 HClO3 HClO4 HNO2 Acetic acid Carbonic acid Iodic acid Hypochlorous acid Chlorous acid Chloric acid Perchloric acid Nitrous acid* Name these Oxyacids
HNO3 H3PO4 H3PO3 H2SO4 H2SO3 Nitric acid Phosphoric acid Phosphorous acid Sulfuric acid Sulfurous acid* Name these oxyacids
Common Industrial Acids • Sulfuric • Nitric • Phosphoric • Hydrochloric • Acetic *
Sulfuric • Most commonly produced acid worldwide • Petroleum refining • Metallurgy • Fertilizer manufacturing • Production of metal, paper, paint, dyes, detergents • Automobile batteries*
Sulfuric Acid • Can be used to dehydrate (water removing) • Sugar can be dehydrated by this acid • Has the same effect on organic tissue causing severe burns *
Nitric Acid • Volatile and unstable in its pure form • Rarely used in its pure form • Stains yellow and burns skin • Used in the making of explosives rubber, plastics, dyes and pharmaceuticals *
Phosphoric Acid • Manufacture of fertilizer and animal feed • Flavoring agent in dilute form • Cleaning agent for dairy equipment • Manufacture of detergents and ceramics*
Hydrochloric acid • Produced in your stomach to aid in digestion • Used to remove surface impurities of metals (iron and steel) • Cleaning agent in food industry • Also known as muriatic acid in a dilute form • Adjust the pH of Swimming pools*
Different Definitions of Acids and Bases Arrhenius Bronsted-Lowry Lewis*
Arrhenius Acids and Bases • Arrhenius acid is a chemical compound that increased the concentration of H+ in an aqueous solution • Arrhenius base is a chemical that increases the concentration of OH- ions in an aqueous solution *
