II. CONTENT (Subject Matter)

Part C. Determining the acidity or basicity of water from different sources

Acids
► an acidis a material that can release a proton or hydrogen ion (H +). Hydrogen
chloride in water solution ionizes and becomes hydrogen ions and chloride ions.
►Acids is a chemical substance that neutralizes alkalis, dissolves some metals, and
turns litmus red; typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind.
"rainwater is a very weak acid"
►a molecule or other entity that can donate a proton or accept an electron pair in
reactions.
►containing acid or having the properties of an acid; in particular, having a pH of
less than 7."poor, acid soils"
►sharp-tasting or sour.
Base
►a base, or alkali, is a material that can donate a hydroxide ion (OH -).
► a pH value of 7 to 14

Activity 1
How Can You Tell if a Mixture is Acidic or Basic?

Strongly acidic: red to pale red

Weakly acidic: blue
Weakly basic: green
Strongly basic: yellow

Part C. Determining the acidity or basicity of water from different sources

In this part of Activity 1, you will find out how acidic or basic the samples of water
from different sources are.
Use one dropper for one kind of sample. Wash each dropper after one use.
Do not mix samples!

Materials Needed
At least one cup water from each of the following sources of water:
plant indicator prepared in Part A
rainwater
river, lake or stream
pond
canal
faucet
deep well or hand pump
bottled water (mineral water) or distilled water
2 plastic egg trays or 8 small plastic containers
6 droppers
6 plastic teaspoons
Procedure
1. Place one (1) teaspoon of each sample in each well of the egg tray.
2. Add 8-10 drops (or ½ teaspoon) of the plant indicator to the first sample.
Note: If the sample is solid, wet a pinch (size of 2-3 match heads) of the solid with about ½
teaspoon of distilled water.
3. Note the color produced. Record your observations in column 2 of Table 2.

4. Determine the acidic or basic nature of your sample using the color scheme
below for eggplant or camote indicator and record the nature of each sample in Table 2.
Strongly acidic: red to pale red
Weakly acidic: blue
Weakly basic: green
Strongly basic: yellow

You can now operationally distinguish between acidic and basic mixtures using
plant indicators. More than that, using the plant extract you have prepared allowed you
to further determine the degree of acidity or basicity of a mixture, that is, you were
able to find out how strongly acidic or basic the mixtures were. It should now be clear to
you that the samples you used in Activity 1, Parts B and C are not called acids nor

bases but rather these samples may have either acids or bases in them which
make them
acidic or basic.
Another method can be used to distinguish acidic from basic mixtures. It is
through the use of the pH scale, which extends from 0 to 14. The pH scale was proposed
by the Danish biochemist S.P.L. Sorensen. In this scale, a sample with pH 7 is neutral.
An acidic mixture has a pH that is less than 7. A basic mixture has a pH that is greater
than 7. In general, the lower the pH, the more acidic the mixture and the higher the pH,
the more basic is the mixture.
It is useful for you to know the pH of some samples of matter as shown in
Table 1 and illustrated in the pH scale drawn in Figure 1.
