    WHAT ARE BASES?

    Bases
    • Bases are opposite of acids. They are
    chemicals that tend to taste bitter.
    • Bases feel a bit slimy like wet soap
    • We use bases such as baking soda in
    cooking.
    • Bleaches are bases used in household
    cleaners
    Bases
    • Bases will react with acids
    making them less acidic.
    • Some bases dissolve in
    water to form an
    alkali/alkaline solution.
    • Alkalis can be corrosive
    and hurt the skin and the
    eyes. But slightly alkali
    materials can be useful
    such as the alkali in
    toothpaste and antacids.
    Poster time
    Use the
    information
    from the text
    that you read
    to design a
    poster about
    acids and
    bases
    Review exercises page 66 (1—>5)

    1- Acid is a substance that taste sour.(citrus acid in lemon, acetic acids found in
    vinegar).
    2 - Carbonic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid.
    3 - A base is a chemical opposite to acid. Bleach is a base found at home.
    4 - Base react with an acid to make it less acidic.
    5 - Alkali are bases that dissolve in water to form an alkaline solution.
    Toothpaste, Antacids
    The Term “ pH”
    • The term pH stand for the words
    “potential hydrogen”.
    • This name came because scientists
    discovered that all acids give away
    positively charged ions called
    hydrogen ions H+ when dissolved in
    water.
    The pH scale
    • Scientists measure acidity by using the pH scale
    • Most substances have a pH between 0 – 14.
    • Acids have a pH below 7. The lower the pH the stronger the acid.
    • A pH of 7 is neutral – neither an acid nor a base (example: water )
    • Bases have a pH above 7. The higher the pH the stronger the base.
    Identifying acids and bases
    • Scientists use universal indicators to identify the nature of a
    solution: acidic, basic or neutral.
    • Universal indicator is a substance that contains a dye and
    changes colors when the pH of the solution changes.
    • An indicator can be in the form of solution or a colored
    paper strip.
    • A tiny piece of the strip dipped , or two drops of the
    universal indicator added to the tested solution will cause a
    color change .
    Identifying
    acids and
    bases
    • Litmus paper is an
    indicator of the pH.
    • It changes colors
    with acids and
    bases.
    • Litmus paper is not
    accurate but still
    can be very useful.
    Identifying acids and
    bases
    • pH paper is another indicator. It
    changes color according to the pH
    of the solution that it is dipped in.
    • More accurate than the litmus
    paper
    Identifying acids and bases

    Phenolphthalein:
    It is a colorless
    indicator that turns
    pink with a base but
    remains colorless with
    acids and neutral
    solutions.
    Identifying acids and bases

    • Bromothymol blue
    turns yellow with
    acids, green with
    neutral and blue with
    basic solutions
    Identifying acids and bases
    Scientists use instruments like
    pH meter which is the most
    accurate device to give a digital
    reading of the pH of the solution.
    The electrode is cleaned and
    dipped in the tested solution and
    the pH value will show up on the
    screen .
    Home made indicators
    • Acid-base indicators change color depending on the pH of a solution.
    • Effective pH indicators can also be made at home so why don’t you
    turn your kitchen into a chemistry lab !!
    • Anthocyanins are a class of organic compounds found in many plants,
    fruits, and flowers that are red, blue, or purple in color and change
    color with pH.
