Acids and Bases Everywhere
Every liquid you see will probably have either acidic or basic traits. One exception might be distilled water. Distilled water is just water. That's it. The positive and negative ions in distilled water are in equal amounts and cancel each other out. Most water you drink has ions in it.

Acids and Bases Everywhere
Those ions in solution make something acidic or basic. In your body there are small compounds called amino acids. Those are acids. In fruits there is something called citric acid. That's an acid, too. But what about baking soda? When you put that in water, it creates a basic solution. Vinegar? Acid.

PH Scale
Scientists use something called the pH scale to measure how acidic or basic a liquid is. Although there may be many types of ions in a solution, pH focuses on concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).

PH Scale
The scale goes from values very close to 0 through 14. Distilled water is 7 (right in the middle). Acids are found between a number very close to 0 and 7. Bases are from 7 to 14. Most of the liquids you find every day have a pH near 7. They are either a little below or a little above that mark.

PH Scale
When you start looking at the pH of chemicals, the numbers go to the extremes. If you ever go into a chemistry lab, you could find solutions with a pH of 1 and others with a pH of 14. There are also very strong acids with pH values below one such as battery acid. Bases with pH values near 14 include drain cleaner and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Those chemicals are very dangerous.

Names to Know
Acid: A solution that has an excess of H+ ions. It comes from the Latin word acidus that means "sharp" or "sour".
Base: A solution that has an excess of OH- ions. Another word for base is alkali.
Aqueous: A solution that is mainly water. Think about the word aquarium. AQUA means water.
Strong Acid: An acid that has a very low pH (0-4).
Strong Base: A base that has a very high pH (10-14).

If you have an ionic compound and you put it in water, it will break apart into two ions. If one of those ions is H+, the solution is acidic. If one of the ions is OH-, the solution is basic.
What really happens..
![Page 8: Acids and Bases Everywhere](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a4550346895da061f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
That pH scale we talked about is actually a measure of the number of H+ ions in a solution. If there are a lot of H+ ions, the pH is very low. If there are a lot of OH- ions, that means the number of H+ ions is very low, so the pH is high.

Acid or Base?
![Page 10: Acids and Bases Everywhere](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a4550346895da061f5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Acids are substances which free hydrogen ions (H+), when they are mixed with water. Bases are substances which free hydroxide ions (OH-) when they are mixed with water.

Substances with pH lower than 7 are considered acids, those with pH equal to 7 are considered neutral, and those with pH higher than 7 are considered bases. .

Litmus Paper
How to Measure PH
![Page 13: Acids and Bases Everywhere](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a4550346895da061f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Litmus is a substance obtained from certain lichens. It has the property of changing its color to red with acidic substances and to blue with basic ones. On the packet of the litmus paper, there is a color scale which indicates the color assumed by the paper as a function of the pH

pH Meter
The pH meter is an electronic instrument supplied with a special bulb which is sensitive to the hydrogen ions which are present in the solution being tested.
The signal produced by the bulb is amplified and sent to a liquid-crystal or an analog meter display.
These instruments are much more precise and convenient to use than the indicating papers

As we have seen, acids and bases have the property of modifying the color of certain substances. This is the case with the juice of the red cabbage. This liquid has a blue-violet color, but when it comes in contact with acidic substances it becomes red, while in contact with basic substances it becomes green and even yellow.
