What is an Acid?
An acid is a substance that tastes sour, reacts with metals and carbonates, and turns blue litmus paper red.
An acid is any substance that produces hydrogen ions (H+) in water.

What is a Base?
A base is a substance that tastes bitter, feels slippery, and turns red litmus paper blue. A base is any substance that produces hydroxide ions (OH) in water.

Distilled water is water that has all of its impurities removed through distillation. Therefore, it will always have a pH level of 7 which is neutral.
Distillation involves boiling the water and recondensing the steam into a clean container, leaving most if not all solid contaminants behind.
Science Trivia
What word means: the thickness of a liquid and how slowly or quickly it will pour? A. Velocity B. Variety C. Viscosity D. Valencia E. Volume
Any Questions????
Lets Begin!
Todays Lab
One lab worksheet with columns that need to be filled out and questions to be answered. Stations that include
a liquid (do not spill, touch, taste, or smell) pH test strips pH scale color indicator on the side on the container blue and red litmus paper paper toweling
Procedure
You will work in groups of four You will rotate around the room to each station At each station you will put down a sheet of paper toweling One member will test the liquid with a pH test strip. One member will test the liquid using litmus paper One member will determine the pH number according to the pH scale and the test strip color One member will dispose of the used paper toweling and strips At the next station, you will follow the same steps, but rotate jobs as well. All lab questions need to be answered individually as homework.
Vinegar
Ammonia Lemon juice Soft drink Drain cleaner Put drop onto plate. Add drop of indicator. Record. Rinse out plate at end Unplug pH probe When done.
Detergent
Baking soda Antacid (MoM)
of period please
REVIEW
Is vinegar an acid or a base? Baking soda? What about lemon juice? HCl? NaOH? What is neutral (number and liquid?) What do we use to test acidity? What scale do we use? Red strip turning blue means what?
Acid Rain
