EXERCISE 1 - 2 Flashcards
- almost all processes containing ____ have a need for pH measurement
WATER
compares the acidity or alkalinity of a solution at a given temperature
pH
neutral pH
pH 7
pH can only be measured if it is in ____ form
AQUEOUS
pH measures the dami ng
H+
neutral solution activity
H & OH are equal
acidic
ph < 7
acidic soln activity
H activity ↑ ; pH value ↓
basic
pH > 7
basic soln activity
OH activity ↑ ; pH value ↑
H activity and pH is
inversely proportional
the acidity and basicity of a substance can be measured in terms of
MOLAR CONCENTRATION
to provide ease in expressing these values, the concentration and OH- ions are denoted as
pH and pOH
the pH of a solution may be measured using
pH paper
measured the pH of the solution by changing its color depending on the concentration of H and OH ions
pH paper
pH paper is treated with an indicator known as
FLAVIN
flavin is an ____ commonly found in red cabbages
ANTHOCYANIN
flavin usually turns:
solution is acidic
RED
flavin usually turns:
solution is neutral
GREEN
flavin usually turns:
solution is basic
PURPLE
- more accurate method than pH paper
- contains a probe that passes the electrical signals to the meter itself which interprets the electrical signals and display the results on its screen
pH meter
two electrodes of ph meter
sensor
reference
contains a pH 7 buffer
sensor electrode
