Week 7
Lesson: Acid and Bases
I. Objectives:
A. Content Standards:
The learners demonstrate an understanding of: the common properties of
acidic and basic mixtures.
B. Performance Standards
The learners demonstrate an understanding of: properly interpret product
labels of acidic and basic mixture, and practice safe ways of handling
acids and bases using protective clothing and safety gear.
C. Learning Competencies
The learner should be able to investigate properties of acidic and
basic mixtures using natural indicators.
Concept Notes
Hydrochloric acid, also referred to as muriatic Sodium hydroxide, known as lye, used in soap
acid, also the gastric acid found in the stomach making
Sulfuric acid (found in fertilizer) Calcium hydroxide (called limewater)
Nitric acid (found in acid rain) Potassium hydroxide, known as potash, dissolve
Citric acid (found in orange, lime, and lemon) grease
Carbonic acid (found in carbonated drinks) Magnesium hydroxide, an antacid called milk of
Lactic acid (found in sour milk, yogurt, cottage magnesia
cheese) Ammonium hydroxide, a 2% solution is used to
Tartaric acid (found in grapes) revive patients who have fainted
Acetic acid (found in vinegar) Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), used in
baking
Sodium hydrochloride, used as a bleaching agent
Safe handling of Acids and Bases
Both acids and bases may be corrosive. When you say a substance is corrosive, it means
that the substance can “eat away” anything that it gets contact with. Strong acids and
strong bases are both corrosive, and you must avoid skin contact with any of these
substances to prevent serious injury.
Never use your senses of touch, taste, and somet imes even smell when dealing with
these kinds of substances
Always wear protection like gloves and goggles when holding containers of acids and
bases.
You may also consult your teacher or an elder person before using acids and bases in
school or at home.

Concept Notes
The pH scale
The pH scale is used to rank solutions in terms of acidity or basicity (alkalinity). Since the scale is based on
pH values, it is logarithmic, meaning that a change of 1 pH unit corresponds to a ten -fold change in H^++start
superscript, plus, end superscript ion concentration. The pH scale is often said to range from 0 to 14, and
most solutions do fall within this range, although it’s possible to get a pH below 0 or above 14. Anything below
7.0 is acidic, and anything above 7.0 is alkaline, or basic.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
An acid is compound that exhibits the following properties:
Taste sour
Reacts with some metals
Changes blue litmus paper (an indicator) to red
Reacts with base to form salt
Reacts with some metals to produce hydrogen gas
