Acids and base
By ERNE
Properties of acids
1. Acids are proton (hydrogen ion, H+) donors2. Acids have a pH lower than 73. Acids taste sour4. Acids effect indicators
a) Blue litmus turns redb) Methyl orange turns red
5. Acids react with active metals, producing H2
6. Acids react with carbonates
7. Acids neutralize bases
Properties base
Bases are proton (hydrogen ion, H+) acceptors Bases have a pH greater than 7 Bases taste bitter Bases effect indicators
Red litmus turns blue Phenolphthalein turns purple
Solutions of bases feel slippery Bases neutralize acids
Neutral pH
Bases have a pH greater
than 7
Examples of acids
• Carbonated beverages • Vinegar • Orange juice • Beer • Coffee• Battery acid• Lemon juice
Examples of base
• Baking soda• Milk of magnesia
household• Ammonia• Bleach • Lye
Examples of neutral pH
1) What does Ph have to do with human health?
The optimal pH of the body’s fluids, such as the blood and urine, is 7.4, slightly alkaline.
2) What does too much acid in the human body do to cells?
• An acidic pH—referred to as acidosis—is caused by a diet of acid-forming foods, emotional stress, toxic overload, and any other process that deprives the cells of oxygen.
3) How can a human manage to stay alkaline?
• The process of pH balancing your body starts with diet and nutrition, including adequate hydration and eating a higher percentage of alkaline foods.
4) Which are the common types of food that support an alkaline state in your body?
• green vegetables, almonds, unpasteurized honey, bee pollen, maple syrup, figs, dates, goat and sheep dairy, root vegetables, apricots, avocados, coconut, grapes, molasses, raisins, and lemons.
5) How do emotions affect alkalinity in your body?
• Your emotions greatly influence the body’s pH. Joyous, happy, love-filled emotions tend to create alkaline-forming chemical reactions in the body
6) What is ACIDOSIS?
• acidosis—is caused by a diet of acid-forming foods, emotional stress, toxic overload, and any other process that deprives the cells of oxygen.
7) What is wrong with the water we drink everyday?
• One of the key factors is the water you drink. Unfortunately, most of the water we consume is acidic—including water treated with distillation, reverse osmosis, and deionization, all processes that remove minerals. Alkaline water is not readily available in most communities. However, you can solve this problem by adding minerals—in the form of unrefined sea salts—to your drinking water.
8) What is wrong with the salt we consume everyday?
• Unrefined sea salt contains not only sodium chloride but also 80-plus trace elements and minerals from the ocean that are in perfect symbiosis with each other and the human body matrix. Unrefined sea salt offers a remarkable mineral balance relative to the internal environment of the human body. All of its elements are dosed naturally in proportions close to those of the internal human environment.
9) How can you measure your own pH level?
• You can measure your pH using urine or saliva. The test is simple and requires less than a minute of your time.
10) What are the 8 Smart simple rules for Smart Eating?
• Eat five times a day.• Eat before you become hungry. • Eat balanced meals and snacks. • Eat organic foods.• Chew your food well.• Avoid overeating. • Drink sufficient water.• Supplement with nutrient-dense formulas.
