Study Notes
Acids, Bases and Salts
- Acids are sour tasting substances that turn blue litmus paper red.
- Bases are typically bitter and soapy, and they turn red litmus paper blue.
- Neutral solutions are neither acidic nor basic. These solutions do not change the color of litmus paper.
- Indicators are substances that change color in the presence of acids or bases. Examples include litmus paper (red and blue), turmeric, and China rose solution.
- Turmeric paper turns reddish-brown in the presence of bases and remains yellow in the presence of acids.
- China rose solution changes to dark pink (magenta) in acidic solutions, green in basic solutions, and remains reddish-orange when neutral.
- Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and a base, which produces a salt and water. Salts can be acidic, basic, or neutral.
- Acid rain is rain with a high concentration of acids. It forms when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere react with water to form sulfuric and nitric acids.
- The process of neutralization is demonstrated when antacid tablets are used to neutralize stomach acid.
- Calamine solution is used to neutralize the formic acid injected by ant stings.
- Factory wastes are neutralized before being disposed of into water bodies to minimize harmful effects.
