    20 Acids, bases, and pH

    OCR Chemistry A Application

    Acids and bases

    Specification reference
     5.1.3

    Introduction
    As well as practising classifying chemicals as acids and bases, this worksheet will
    give you a greater appreciation of what pH is and how it can be calculated for a
    strong acid.

    Learning outcomes
    After completing this worksheet you should be able to:
     classify a chemical as an acid, base, or alkali
     explain the difference between a strong and weak acid
     determine the concentration of H when the concentration of a strong acid is
    given
     calculate the pH of a strong acid
     calculate the concentration of a strong acid when the pH is given.

    Background
    There are several different models to define acids and bases. The Brønsted–Lowry
    model focuses on protons. A Brønsted–Lowry acid is a proton donor while a
    Brønsted–Lowry base is proton acceptor.
    The concentration of the acid is how many moles are in a given volume of solution.
    The strength is a measure of how ionised the acid is in solution. A strong acid will
    fully ionise in solution whereas a weak acid will partially ionise in solution.
    pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution. As the
    concentration of hydrogen ions for a strong acid is very high, yet the concentration
    of hydrogen ions for a strong alkali is very low a logarithmic scale must be used. So,
    pH  log10[H].
