    This document provides information about acids and bases and the pH scale. It explains that the pH scale measures how acidic or basic a solution is, ranging from 0-14. pH 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is basic. Common examples of acids and bases are given along with their characteristics. Safety precautions for handling acids and bases are outlined. The document concludes with describing some experiments to identify substances as acidic or basic using litmus paper and other pH testing methods.

    Acids

    and
    Bases
    What is the pH scale?
    The pH scale
    measures
    how acidic
    or basic a
    solution is.
    The pH Scale
     pH scale ranges from 0
    -14
     pH 7 is neutral; neither
    acid nor base
     Pure water is pH 7
     pH level 0-6.9 = acid
     pH level 7.1-14 = base
     The closer to the ends of
    the scale, the stronger the
    solution is
    Test Your Knowledge
    • What is the range of an
    ACID on the pH scale?
    Answer: 0-6.9

    • What is the range of a


    BASE and what is
    another name for a
    BASE?
    Answer: 7.1-14, alkaline
    Test Your Knowledge
    • What pH level indicates
    that a substance is
    neutral?
    Answer: A pH level of 7
    indicates a Neutral
    • Which is more acidic,
    substance A (pH level of 3)
    or substance B (pH level of
    6)?
    Answer: Substance A
    Test Your Knowledge
    • Which is less basic,
    substance A (pH level of 8)
    or substance B (pH level of
    10)?
    Answer: Substance B
    • Which is less basic,
    substance A (pH level of 2)
    or substance B (pH level of
    4)?
    Answer: Substance B
    Characteristics Of Acids and
    Bases

    Safety
    Handling of
    Acids and
    Bases
     Know what you are working with;
    pay attention not only to the name
    (or formula) of the chemical but
    also to the concentration.
     Both acids and bases can be
    corrosive to human tissue.
     Pick up dropper bottles by
    the bottle, not by the
    dropper.
     Use only the dropper that
    comes with the bottle.
     Wear safety glasses or
    goggles when handling either
    acids or bases.
     If you do get any in your eyes, let
    the instructor know and flush it out
    immediately with lots of water.
     Suppose you get some acid or base
    on you, other than in your eyes.
    The procedure is the essentially the
    same.
     If you spill acid or base on the lab bench top or
    on the floor, treat it immediately.
     If it is an acid, first neutralize it with sufficient
    sodium bicarbonate, (commonly known as
    baking soda).
     When the baking soda no longer bubbles when
    you work it into the spill, the acid is
    neutralized and you can clean up the mess.
     If it's a base, you
    can neutralize it
    with some
    vinegar. In any
    case, clean up
    the area
    thoroughly.
