WHAT IS pHpH is the measurement of how acidic or basic a solution is.
Characteristics of Acids • Tastes Sour • Affects Indicator (red = acid) • Neutralizes Bases • Often Produces Hydrogen Gas • pH between 0 and <7
Characteristics of Bases • Tastes Bitter • Feel Slippery • Neutralizes Acids (Antacids) • Affect Indicators (base = blue) • pH between 7 and 14 • Dissolves grease (degreaser, Draino, Windex)
Examples of Acids • HCl (aq) • H2SO4 (aq) • HF (aq) • Fruit Juices
Examples of Bases • NaOH (aq) • Ca(OH)2 (aq) • KOH (aq) • Baking Soda • Lye • Soap
Lye, ammonia, borax, blood, stomach fluids, vinegar, coffee, water, lemon juice, bleach, tomatoes, tums, milk, baking soda
