-ACIDS have pH lower than 7 and turn universal indicator paper red or orange -bases neutralise acids to make a salt and water -bases that are soluble in water are called ALKALIS and form ALKALINE solutions with a pH of more than 7
1 of 7
THE pH SCALE
-ALKALIS turn universal indicator paper blue or purple -neutral solutions have a pH of 7 and turn universal indicator green
2 of 7
WHAT DOES pH SCALE mean
A measure of hydrogen ion concentration
3 of 7
what does ACID mean?
substance producing more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions when dissolved in water
4 of 7
what does ALKALI mean?
substance producing more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions when dissolved in water
5 of 7
what does NEUTRALISATION mean?
the reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt plus water.
6 of 7
what does SALT mean?
a compound formed by neutralisation of an acid by a base,EG a metal oxide, as the result of hydrogen atoms in the acid being replaced by metal atoms or positive ions. sodium chloride, common salt,is one such compound.
