25
What numbers uses the pH scale?
The pH scale uses numbers from 1-14
26
``` Strong acids: Weak acids: Neutral: Weak alkalis: Strong alkalis: ```
``` Strong acids:pH 1-3 Weak acids: pH 4-6 Neutral: pH 7 Weak alkalis: pH 8-10 Strong alkalis:pH 11-14 ```
27
How does the pH needs to be so it is acid?
The pH needs to be between 0 and 6. The less pH the more dangerous the acid is.
28
How does the pH needs to be so it is alkali?
The pH needs to be between 8 and 14. The more pH the more dangerous.
29
If the pH is 7 it means that...
It is a neutral it is not dangerous it is nos acid and it is not alkali.
30
If the pH is 0...
It is very acidic
31
Universal indicator
Shows the acidic or alkali a substance is
32
Acid+ Alkali=
Salt and Water
33
The scientific name for salt for food is...
SODIUM CHLORIDE
34
What are alkalis?
Alkalis are “metal” hydroxides
35
What are the common acid we will use in the lab?
