Study Notes
Understanding Acids and Bases
Identifying Acids and Bases
- Acids and bases can be identified using indicators, which change color in response to acidic or basic conditions.
- Red litmus, blue litmus, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange are common indicators used to test for acids and bases.
Olfactory Indicators
- Olfactory indicators are substances that change odor in acidic or basic media.
- Onion, vanilla, and clove can be used as olfactory indicators.
- Onion cloth strips can be used to test for acids and bases by observing changes in odor.
Reaction of Acids and Bases with Metals
- Acids react with metals to produce hydrogen gas and form a salt.
- The reaction can be summarized as: Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen gas
- Examples of acids that react with metals include HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH, and H2SO4.
- Zinc metal reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to produce hydrogen gas, which can be tested by burning.
- The reaction of a metal with an acid produces a salt and hydrogen gas.
Reaction of Bases with Metals
- Sodium hydroxide solution reacts with zinc metal to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
- The reaction can be summarized as: Base + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen gas
