A comprehensive guide to understanding pH scale and acidity, exploring acids, bases, and their interactions in chemical solutions.

  • The pH scale measures hydrogen ion concentration, with values below 7 indicating acidity and above 7 indicating alkalinity
  • Chemical reactions in neutralisation process involve acids reacting with bases to form salts and water
  • Solutions conduct electricity through free-moving ions, with both acidic and alkaline solutions being conductive
  • Accurate titration techniques for acids and bases are essential for measuring precise volumes and determining unknown concentrations
  • Spectator ions remain unchanged during chemical reactions and are present on both sides of ionic equations

Chemical Neutralisation and Titration Techniques

This section covers the neutralisation process and practical measurement techniques used in chemical analysis. The content focuses on how acids and bases interact to form new compounds.

Definition: Neutralisation occurs when acids react with bases, moving the pH towards 7 and producing salt and water.

Highlight: The type of salt produced depends on the specific acid and base used in the reaction.

Example: Common neutralisation reactions:

  • Acid + Metal oxide → Salt + Water
  • Acid + Metal carbonate → Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide

Vocabulary: Spectator ions are ions that remain unchanged on both sides of an ionic equation.

Quote: "Titrations accurately measure the volumes of reactants used in reactions. They are useful for calculating unknown concentrations of acids or alkalis in neutralisation reactions."

Understanding Acids and the pH Scale

This section explores the fundamentals of acids, bases, and the pH scale in chemical solutions. The pH scale serves as a crucial measurement tool for determining the acidity or alkalinity of substances through hydrogen ion concentration.

Definition: The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, with values ranging from 0 to 14.

Highlight: Acidic solutions have a pH between 1 and 6, containing more H+ ions than OH- ions, while alkaline solutions have a pH between 8 and 14, with more OH- ions than H+ ions.

Example: Common acids include:

  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
  • Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
  • Nitric acid (HNO₃)
  • Ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH)

Vocabulary: Non-metal oxides dissolve in water to form acidic solutions, while metal oxides dissolve to form alkaline solutions.

Quote: "Neutral solutions have equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions, which cancel out each other: H+ + OH- = H₂O"
