Acids Base Key Notes

The document provides an overview of acids, bases, and indicators, detailing their properties, reactions, and uses. It explains the pH scale, with values indicating acidity (pH < 7), neutrality (pH = 7), and basicity (pH > 7). Additionally, it describes how indicators change color in response to different pH levels.

Acids (Acidity)
 Acids are substances with a sour taste.
 They react with certain metals, producing hydrogen
gas.
 Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in
water.
 Greater hydrogen ion concentration signifies
greater acidity.
 Examples include lemon juice, vinegar, and battery
acid.

 Acids can damage metals and some fabrics.
 Strong acids cause severe burns.
 Acids are used in industrial processes like
manufacturing and cleaning.
 The pH scale measures acidity and basicity. PH less
than 7 solutions are acids.

Bases (Basicity)
 Bases have a bitter taste and soapy feel.
 They react with acids to neutralize them, forming
water and a salt.

 Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in
water.
 Greater hydroxide ion concentration signifies
greater [Link] greater than 7
 Examples include soap, baking soda, and ammonia.
 Bases can be corrosive, especially strong bases.
 Bases are used in cleaning products, fertilizers, and
other applications.

Neutral
 Neutral substances are neither acidic nor basic.
 Pure water is neutral.
 A neutral substance has a pH of 7.

Indicators
 Indicators change color in acidic or basic solutions.
 They determine acidity or basicity.
 Litmus paper: Red turns blue in a base; blue turns
red in an acid.
 Other indicators include
 i-phenolphthalein (colorless in acid, pink in base)
 ii- universal indicator (various colors for different
pH ranges).

 Indicators change color at specific pH values,
indicating the degree of acidity or basicity.
