Study Notes

Acids, Bases, and Salts

  • Acids have a sour taste and turn blue litmus red.
  • Bases have a bitter taste and turn red litmus blue.
  • Litmus is a natural indicator, changing color based on whether a substance is an acid or a base.
  • Turmeric is another natural indicator, turning reddish-brown when soap is applied to a curry stain on a white cloth. The stain then turns yellow when washed with water.
  • Synthetic indicators, like methyl orange and phenolphthalein, can also be used to test for acids and bases.
  • Acids and bases can neutralize each other.
  • Indicators can show the presence of acids or bases in a solution.
  • Litmus solution, a purple dye from lichen, is a common indicator.
  • Red cabbage leaves, turmeric, and flower petals (like Hydrangea, Petunia, and Geranium) can also act as indicators.
  • A solution can also be tested without tasting by observing how it changes the color of an indicator.
  • Lemon juice, vinegar, or baking soda solution can be used as remedies for acidity.
  • Acids and bases have the ability to neutralize each other, which is used in choosing remedies for acidity.
  • Acids are sour in taste, bases are bitter in taste, and litmus is a natural indicator that changes color based on the presence of acids or bases.
  • A solution in which the level of acidity and basicity are equal is neither acidic nor basic and the color of litmus is purple.
  • Solutions are available as litmus, turmeric, or other synthetic indicators to test substances without tasting.
