    Study Notes

    pH Scale

    • A scale used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution
    • pH ranges from 0-14, with:
      • 0-1: Strongly acidic
      • 2-3: Acidic
      • 4-5: Weakly acidic
      • 6-7: Neutral
      • 8-9: Weakly basic
      • 10-12: Basic
      • 13-14: Strongly basic
    • pH is calculated using the formula: pH = -log[H+]

    Types of Alkalis

    • Strong Alkalis:
      • Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
      • Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)
      • Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
    • Weak Alkalis:
      • Ammonia (NH3)
      • Organic bases (e.g. amines)

    Neutralization Reactions

    • A reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt and water
    • General equation: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
    • Examples:
      • HCl (acid) + NaOH (base) → NaCl (salt) + H2O (water)
      • H2SO4 (acid) + Ca(OH)2 (base) → CaSO4 (salt) + H2O (water)
    • Neutralization reactions are exothermic, releasing heat energy
