Study Notes

Olfactory Indicators

  • Vanilla, onion, and clove can be used as olfactory indicators to identify acids and bases based on odour changes.

Reaction of Acids and Bases with Metals

  • Activity: Using zinc granules with dilute sulfuric acid.
  • Procedure: Set up the apparatus as shown. Add dilute sulfuric acid to a test tube. Add zinc granules.
  • Observations: Observe the surface of zinc granules. Pass the evolved gas through soap solution. Note if bubbles form in the soap solution. Bring a lit candle near a bubble.
  • Conclusion: Note observations and repeat activity with other acids to compare.
