Study Notes
Litmus Test and Indicators
- Litmus paper tests solutions; red litmus turns blue in bases, blue litmus turns red in acids.
- Some substances don't change litmus paper color; these are neutral solutions. Examples include tap water, detergent, aerated drinks, soap solutions, shampoo, common salt solutions, sugar solution.
- Turmeric paste is a natural indicator; it turns red in basic solutions.
- China rose petals make another indicator; it turns dark pink (magenta) in acids and green in bases.
Testing Various Substances
- Experiments tested tap water, detergent solutions, aerated drinks, soap solutions, shampoo, common salt solutions, sugar solutions, vinegar, baking soda solutions, milk of magnesia, washing soda solutions, and limewater with litmus paper and turmeric.
- Baking soda needs to be dissolved in water for accurate litmus testing.
- Acids turn turmeric paste red.
- Different substances react differently with litmus paper and turmeric paper, indicating whether they are acidic, basic, or neutral. Specific observations would be in the original tables.
Neutralization
- Acids and bases neutralize each other, forming salt and water.
- Phenolphthalein is another indicator; it turns pink in basic solutions and remains colorless in acidic solutions.
- Acid rain is caused by pollutants (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide) dissolving in rainwater, forming carbonic, sulfuric, and nitric acids.
Acidic, Basic, and Neutral Substances
- Acids are generally sour, bases are generally bitter and soapy.
- Distilled water is neutral.
- Ammonia is basic.
- Litmus solution is obtained from lichens and identifies acids and bases.
Safety Precautions
- Handle acids and bases with care as they are corrosive and harmful.
