Acids and bases

Question 1

Acids

Answer 1

-ionize in water to produce hydrogen ions
-the more ions there are the more acidic the solution
-Corrosive (break down metal, wood , clothing, skin)

Question 2

strong acid

Answer 2

_ produces lots of H ions

Question 3

Weak Acid

Answer 3

Acid produces some but not alot of H ions

Question 4

Bases

Answer 4

-Substances which produce OH ions in water
- If a base can dissolve in water its called a alkaline solution

Question 5

PH Scale

Answer 5

-Helps to determine the concentration of H ions
- 0-14
Acidic - less than 7
Basic (alkali) - Greater than 7
Neutral - Equal to 7

Question 6

Indicators

Answer 6

-Substance that change color at different PH ‘s
-Helps approximate amount of PH in a solution
-e.g litmus (turns red if acidic, turns blue if basic)
