DAILY QUESTION November 21, 2008 • What is pH?
Agenda 11/21/08 • Daily Question • Ch 8 Section 1 Notes • pH • Brain Pop! pH Assignments: 1. 8-1 Review Worksheet due 11/24
pH • The pH of a solution indicates its concentration of hydronium (H3O+) ions • The pH of a solution is often critical • Also indicates hydroxide (OH-) ion concentration
pH Value • Tells if a solution is neutral, acidic, or basic • Range from: 0 to 14 • Neutral: 7. • Means concentration of H3O+ = concentration of OH- • Acidic: Less than 7 • concentration of H3O+ is greater than concentration of OH- • Basic: More than 7 • concentration of OH- is greater than concentration of H3O+
pH • Small differences in pH mean larger differences in acidity • Apple juice is 100 times more acidic than coffee
