What is the pH scale? • pH is another way of representing the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of a solution • pH values range from 0 - 14
The pH scale Acidic solution: pH < 7.0 Neutral solution: pH = 7.0 Basic solution: pH > 7.0 Neutral ACIDIC BASIC pH = Increasing acidity Increasing basicity
Let’s test some Household products!!! • pH paper (aka Universal Indicator Paper) • What color(s) do/does the paper turn for acids? • What color(s) do/does the paper turn for bases? Reds and oranges GreensandBlues
Indicators Indicator: a chemical or solution that changes color at a certain pH The pH range varies for different indicators Titration Xample
Indicator Lab • Many naturally colored compounds can behave as acid-base indicators. In this lab, you will be given a choice of several different fruits and vegetables. Your goal is to make indicator solutions from these fruits and vegetables. Do the following: • Provide a complete set of instructions for making the indicator solution from the raw materials. • Demonstrate that your indicator solution works for distinguishing between acids and bases. • Create a data table listing your results for 3-5 indicator solutions. Your table should include (at a minimum) the indicator name, colors observed, and appropriate pH ranges. • Use the rubric as a guide! • Available Materials: hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, pH paper, tomatoes, limes, red cabbage, red grapes, apples, radishes, and red onions.
