    This document provides an introduction to pH and defines key terms like pH, acids, bases, and neutral substances. It explains that pH is a measurement of acidity on a scale from 0 to 14, with acids being below 7 and bases above 7. It also describes how litmus paper and pH testing strips can be used to test whether a substance is acidic, basic, or neutral by changing color in response to pH levels. The main focus is on using litmus paper, where red litmus turns blue in bases and blue litmus turns red in acids to determine the nature of unknown substances.

    Definitions
    ✗ pH- the measurement of the acidity of a substance
    ✗ Base- pH higher than 7 (soap, bleach, and eggs)
    ✗ Neutral- pH of 7 (water)
    ✗ Acid- a pH less than 7 (coke and coffee)
    ✗ Substance- a particular kind of matter with uniform
    properties.
    ✗ Litmus Paper- indicator if substance is an acid, base,
    or neutral
    Acids, Bases,
    and the pH
    Scale
    How do you test a substance?
    ✗ 2 main ways
    ✗ pH testing strips
    ■ Wide range of colors
    representing acids or
    bases
    ■ More accurate
    How do you test a substance? continued
    ✗ Litmus paper
    ■ Our main focus
    ■ Red and blue
    ● Red turns blue in bases
    ● Red stays red in acids or
    neutrals
    ● Blue turns red in acids
    ● Blue stays blue in bases
    or neutrals
