Properties of Acids and Bases
This term describes a substance that donates hydrogen ions in a solution.
What is an acid?
This scale measures how acidic or basic a solution is.
What is the pH scale?
The process that occurs when an acid and a base react together.
What is neutralization?
This common household item is a base and can be used for cleaning.
What is baking soda?
This acid is found in milk, and also builds up in our muscles.
What is lactic acid?
This term describes a substance that accepts hydrogen ions in a solution.
What is a base?
A solution with a pH of 3 is considered this.
What is acidic?
The products of a neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
What are salt and water?
This acidic beverage has a pH lower than 7 and is often consumed worldwide.
What is soda?
This base is commonly found in household cleaning products and is classified as a strong base (Hint: NaOH)
What is sodium hydroxide?
On the pH scale, this range indicates an acidic solution.
What is 0-7?
A solution with a pH of 12 is considered this.
What is basic?
This term refers to a substance formed from the neutralization of an acid and a base.
What is a salt?
This phenomenon occurs when acidic rainwater lowers the pH of lakes and streams, harming aquatic life.
What is acid rain?
This is the main difference between strong and weak acids.
What is the degree of dissociation (hydrogen ions attaching or leaving) in water?
This is the pH value of pure water, indicating it is neutral.
What is 7?
This type of indicator changes color based on the pH of a solution.
What is a pH indicator?
This laboratory technique is often used to determine the concentration of an acid or base by neutralizing it with a base or acid of known concentration.
What is titration?
This is a common use of antacids, which neutralize stomach acid.
What is treating heartburn or indigestion?
This type of acid partially dissociates in solution, releasing only some of its hydrogen ions.
What is a weak acid?
This type of acid completely dissociates in solution, releasing all of its hydrogen ions.
What is a strong acid?
This property describes bases, which feel slippery to the touch.
What is texture?
This is a real-life use of neutralization
This common use of acids in agriculture is to adjust soil pH.
What is fertilization?
This term describes a base that only partially ionizes (gains hydrogen ions) in solution.
What is a weak base?
