    This document discusses the properties and definitions of acids and bases. It states that acids release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, give examples of common acids, and notes their corrosive and sour properties. It also defines bases as compounds that release hydroxide ions in water, provides examples like sodium hydroxide, and mentions their bitter taste. The document explains that the strength of acids and bases depends on the number of ions released and how pH is measured to indicate acidity or alkalinity on a scale.

    Properties of acids

     They are corrosive.


     Taste sour.
     Reactive with metals.
     Turn blue litmus paper red.
     Conduct electricity.
     They are neutralized by bases.
    Acids

     Compounds that when dissolved in water release a


    hydrogen ion (H+)
    Common acids

     Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)


     Nitric Acid (HNO3)
     Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)
    Properties of bases

     Caustic.
     Bitter taste.
     Have a soapy, slimy feel.
     Conduct electricity
     Turn red litmus paper blue.
     They are neutralized by acids.
     Known as an alkali.
    Bases

     A compound that when dissolved in water releases a


    hydroxide ion (OH-)
    Common bases

     Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)


     Ammonia (NH3)
    The strength of an acid or base depends on how many
    hydrogen or hydroxide ions are released.
    Measuring acidity

     The pH scale
     Measures the concentration of H+ ions in a solution
    High concentration of H+ ions means low number on the pH scale
    = very acidic.
    Measuring pH

     pH meter – electronic equipment


    which determines pH

     Indicators – chemicals that change colour to


    show pH
    Universal indicator
    Litmus paper
