Acids and Bases
Acid• When acids dissolve in water they release
Hydrogen ions, and these make the solution acidic.
Base• Bases have the opposite chemical action
to acids. They neutralise acids by removing the Hydrogen ion.

Common acids
• Stomach acid = hydrochloric acid *• Battery acid = sulfuric acid *• Lemon juice = citric acid• Vinegar = ethanoic acid *
SourpH 1-6 *Commonly used at
school
Copy
Common neutrals
• Most tap water
• Salts such as NaCl, FeCl3, KNO3
pH 7
Copy
Common basics
• Caustic soda = NaOH *
• Baking soda = NaHCO3 *
• Ammonia = NH3

pH
• The pH is a value given to a solution and indicates the acidity of the solution.
• pH is a measure of the amount of Hydrogen ions in the solution.
• The lower the pH value the more hydrogen ions are in the solution.
Copy
pH Values
• pH values 1-6 are acidic (lots of acid)
• pH values 8-14 are basic (not much acid)
• pH value 7 is neutral.
Copy
Aim
• Assign the colours of Universal Indicator liquid to the different pH values.
Copy
ExptExpt
• Add 4 drops of the universal indicator to each substance.
• Record the substance and the observed colour in a table.
• Calculate the pH of each substance.

Questions to answerQuestions to answer
1. Which of the tested substances were acids?
2. Which of the tested substances were bases?
3. Which of the tested substances were neutral?
• Video to follow…..sound needed
Indicator Summary
For NCEA you need to know….
• Red litmus turns blue in base
• Blue litmus turns red in acid
• Universal indicator is a range of colours…– Red orange and yellow are acids– Green is neutral– Green/Blue blue purple are bases

ExptExpt
Aim:
Use universal indicator liquid to prove that you have neutralised the acid and base.
Copy Aim
MethodMethod1. Add 1mL HCl to a clean test tube.2. Add 1mL NaOH to the same test tube.3. Add 4 drops of universal indicator.4. Adjust the amounts of HCl or NaOH until
you reach the neutral pH of 7.What colour are you aiming for????

• A salt is always made during an neutralisation expt.
• Not just NaCl (salt on your dinner) but other types of salts too….
• Na2SO4 KCl

How do you make these salts?How do you make these salts?
What substances would you react together to make these salts?
NaCl Na2SO4 CuCl2 PbSO4
Answers:
NaCl = sodium metal with hydrogen chloride
Na2SO4 = sodium metal with hydrogen sulfate
CuCl2 = copper metal with hydrogen chloride
PbSO4 = lead metal with hydrogen sulfate
Examples of neutralisationExamples of neutralisation
• Bee stings are acidic. They can be neutralised using baking powder, which contains sodium hydrogen carbonate.
• Farmers use lime (calcium oxide) to neutralise acid soils.
• Your stomach contains hydrochloric acid, and too much of this causes indigestion. Antacid tablets contain bases such as magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate to neutralise the extra acid.
Metal oxide + Acid Metal salt + water

•This is a type of acid – base reaction.
• This is also a type of acid – base reaction.
• Metal hydroxides are bases – eg. NaOH
Metal + Acid Metal salt + waterhydroxide

Hokey Pokey
When powdered baking soda is stirred into molten sugar, heat causes the soda react, releasing bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.
Expt
