Making Sense

• Look for patterns in the names, chemical formulas, uses, and properties of the substances you tested.

• List four characteristics of acids.

• List four characteristics of bases.



Indicators can be used to identify substances that are acidic, basic, and neutral when dissolved in water.

• Acids turn cabbage juice pink and are between 0 and 7 on the universal indicator scale.

• Bases turn cabbage juice green or blue and are between 7 and 14 on the universal indicator scale.

• Neutral substances do not change color with cabbage juice and are at or very near 7 on the universal indicator scale.

(cont.)

Notes



• pH scale: A number line from 0 to 14. The numbers are associated with indicator colors.

• The numbers associated with indicator colors are also called pH numbers or simply pH.

Sample Problem:

• What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 3.4 10–4 moles/ L?

(cont.)

(cont.)



Please be careful when entering scientific notation into your calculator—it is very easy to make a mistake. When entering 3.4 10–4, first enter “3.4”. Then press the button labeled “EXP” or “10X” or “EE”. Now enter –4, using the “+/–“ key, not the subtraction key. Never try to enter this number by pressing “X” and “10” and “–4”.

Check-In

• What is the pH of a solution with [OH–] = 1.0 10–12 M?



Wrap-Up

• The relationship between pH and pOH of a solution is expressed by the following: pH + pOH = 14.

• The relationship between [H+] and [OH–] in a solution is expressed by the following: –log [H+] + –log [OH–] = 14.
