    Study Notes

    Acids and Bases

    • Acids taste sour, and turn blue litmus paper red
    • Bases taste bitter, and turn red litmus paper blue
    • Acids and bases neutralize each other's effects
    • Some natural indicators like turmeric can also be used to test for acids and bases
    • Synthetic indicators like methyl orange and phenolphthalein are also available

    Identifying Acids and Bases

    • Only red litmus paper is given for identification
    • Dip the red litmus paper into the test tube
    • If the litmus paper turns blue, it is a base
    • If the litmus paper stays red, it is an acid

    Acids Conduct Electricity

    • Acids contain H+ ions as a cation, and anions like Cl- in HCl, NO3- in HNO3, SO2- 4 in H2SO4, CH3COO– in CH3COOH.
    • The H+ ions are responsible for the acidic properties
    • Bases contain hydroxide ions (OH-), which are responsible for their basic properties

    Strength of Acids and Bases

    • The strength of acids and bases depends on the number of H+ ions and OH- ions produced, respectively.
    • Strong acids give more H+ ions and strong bases give more OH- ions
    • Weak acids give less H+ ions and weak bases give less OH- ions

    pH Scale

    • The pH scale measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
    • pH values range from 0 to 14
    • A pH of 7 is neutral
    • A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic
    • Our body works within a pH range of 7.0 to 7.8
    • Acid rain has a pH of less than 5.6

    Salts

    • Salts are formed when acids react with bases
    • Salts have various uses in everyday life and in industries
    • Examples of salts include potassium sulphate, sodium sulphate, calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, copper sulphate, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, sodium carbonate, and ammonium chloride
    • Water of crystallization is the fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of a salt
