11) pH 1  pH 3 102 or 100 x more basic
12) pH 2  pH 7 105 or 100,000 x more basic
Circle the answer the best completes the following sentences:
13) The pH scale was developed to express ([H+]/[OH-]) as a number between 0

and 14.
14) A pH of 1 is a (strong/weak) (acid/base).

15) A pH of 8 is a (strong/weak) (acid/base).
16) In an acid, the [H+] </> [OH-].
17) In a base, the [H+] </> [OH-].
18) A decrease from 5 to 4 on the pH scale represents a tenfold

(increase/decrease) in the concentration of ([H+] / [OH-]).
19) Strong acids and bases will dissociate (completely/slightly).

The pH Scale:
A liquid may be an acid, base, or neutral. The degree of acidity or basicity
can be measured by using the pH scale. The initials pH stand for the “power
of Hydrogen” or for “Potential of Hydrogen.” The scale is divided into three
areas: Acid (readings below 7), neutral (reading of 7), and basic (readings
above 7). The strength of an acid or base depends on its ability to
dissociate to form ions. When an acid or base completely ionizes or breaks
down then we have a strong acid or base. For example, when 100 molecules
of HCl dissolve in water, all 100 molecules dissociate to form H+ ions and Cl-
ions:
HCl + H20 ↔ H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
A weak acid or base however only ionize or break down slightly. The fact
that HCl dissociates so easily makes it a strong acid, and a good electrolyte.
A weak acid on the other hand may only dissociate to form 1 H+ ion out of
100.
Each pH unit represents a tenfold difference of the H+ and OH-

concentration. It is this mathematical feature that makes the pH scale so
compact. For example a solution of pH 2 is not twice as acidic as a solution of
pH 4, but a hundred times more acidic. The pH of 5 is ten times more acidic
than a pH of 6. So when the pH of a solution changes slightly, it actually
changes the concentrations of H+ and OH- substantially.
Measuring pH:
To measure the pH of a solution we use pH indicators. A pH indicator is a
paper strip or liquid solution that contains special chemicals or dyes that will
change colors at different pH’s. An indicator is actually something called a
Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base pair in which the acid is a different
color then the base. Common pH indicators can be found in Table M of your
reference table.
Let’s take a look at table M. You will notice that it lists common acid-base
indicators. For each indicator the name, an approximate pH range for color
change and the color change is noted. Looking at bromthymol blue you will
see that the color will change from yellow to blue at 6.0-7.6. Therefore,
acids will maintain a yellow color, while bases will be blue. The diagram on
the following page indicates the color change you will observe when using
bromthymol blue at various pH’s.

0 6.0 7.6 14
Approximate pH range for color change: 6.0-7.6

Color of acid form: yellow
Color of base form: blue
1. Given the pH scale below shade acids red, bases blue, and any neutral
values green.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
2. Will an acidic solution have more [H+] or [OH-] in solution?

More [H+]
3. Will a basic solution have more [H+] or [OH-] in solution?
More [OH-]
4. Will a neutral solution have more [H+] or [OH-] in solution?
[H+] = [OH-]
5. A pH change from 5 to 6 will result in a change in [H+] by how much?
101 or 10 x less [H+]
6. A pH change from 9 to 7 will result in a change in [H+] by how much?
102 or 100 x more [H+]
7. What is a pH indicator?
A substance that permanently changes color within a given pH range

pH:
pH is a scale that measures the hydronium ion (H+) concentration of a solution. A pH of less
than 7 indicates an acidic solution. A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral. A solution with a pH
of 7 to 14 is basic and contains a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.
Indicators are substances that change color in the presence of certain ions. Phenolphthalein
is colorless in an acid and a neutral solution, but pink in a base. Litmus is red in an acid and
blue in a base. This is outlined on Table M of the Reference Tables.

ACID-BASE TITRATIONS:
To determine the concentration of an acid (or base), we can react it with a base (or acid)
of known concentration until it is completely neutralized. This point of exact
neutralization, know as the endpoint or equivalence point, is noted by the change in color
of the indicator.

1) Calculate the volume of NaOH used to neutralize the acid for each trial. Record in
data table above. Show one sample calculation below.
2) Using the MAVA = MBVB formula calculate the molarity of the base for each trial.
Record in data table above. Show one sample calculation below.
3) Calculate the average molarity of the NaOH using your results from question 2.
Your answer must include the correct number of significant figures and the

determining the end point of this titration? Explain the reasoning behind your
choice.
Bromothymol Blue – end point has pH of 7.0, which falls in the range for

Reactions with Acids and Bases:
1) Using Table J in your Reference Tables, list two metals that will react with H2 (or an
acid) Any metals above H2 on the table
2) Using Table J in your Reference Tables, list two metals that will NOT react with H2
(or an acid) Any metals below H2 on the table
3) What type of reaction (of the four we have learned) is involved when an acid reacts
with a metal? Single replacement
4) Write the general formula (using ABC etc.) for this type of reaction
X + HA → H2 + XA
5) Predict the products of the following reaction:
Mg + 2HNO3  H2(g) + Mg(NO3)2
5) Will copper react with an acid? NO Explain your answer in terms of activity
Copper is less active than H2; copper doesn’t give up its e- as easily as H2
6) Predict the products of the following neutralization reaction:
RbOH + HBr  RbBr + H2O
7) Set up a reaction below that would occur between HNO3 and LiOH. Predict the
products using your general reaction for neutralization reactions.
HNO3 + LiOH → H2O + LiNO3
8) Predict the products of the following reaction. Remember to create your formulas
using the criss cross rule! BALANCE the reaction also.
H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2  2H2O + CaSO4
Name salt that was produced Calcium Sulfate
9) According to your reference tables, which metal would react spontaneously with
hydrochloric acid?
a. Gold b. Silver c. Copper d. Zinc

WORKSHEET ON THE REACTIVITY SERIES
1) Use table J and your knowledge of chemistry to answer the following questions in
complete sentences.
a) Why does gold occur native (uncombined) whereas zinc does not?
Gold is a much less active metal than zinc.
b) Why was silver used to make coins in the past?
Silver is a rare metal (very valuable) and an unreactive metal (very safe).
c) Why is copper used to make electrical cables and wires?
Copper is an excellent electrical conductor.
d) Why do we know so little about the lifestyles of the people of the Iron Age?
Iron is a fairly active/reactive metal and corrodes/rusts easily.
2) Rank the following metals in order of reactivity (most reactive = 1, least reactive = 4)
3 zinc 1 sodium 2 magnesium 4 copper
a) Which metals will react when added to dilute hydrochloric acid? Describe the
reaction.
Sodium, magnesium, and zinc will react with HCl by forcing their electrons onto
hydrogen and forming H2 gas.
b) Which of the four metals would be suitable for making saucepans? Explain why the
others are not.
Copper because it is not an active metal. The other metals would react with
water or anything acidic in the food being cooked.
c) Which of the four metals forms a protective coating when it oxidizes?

Zinc
3) Describe what you would see if you dropped a piece of magnesium ribbon into some
copper sulphate solution in a test tube. Write a word equation for the reaction.
You would see fizzing and bubbling, the color would fade from (blue to clear), and
solid copper would precipitate out of solution while the magnesium ribbon dissolved.
Solid magnesium metal loses electrons to copper ions.

4) Complete the following word equations.
a) zinc + lead nitrate solution → lead + zinc nitrate solution
b) iron + zinc sulphate solution → no rxn
c) lead + copper nitrate solution → copper + lead nitrate solution
d) magnesium + zinc chloride solution → zinc + magnesium chloride solution
e) copper + sodium chloride solution → no rxn
f) zinc + iron sulphate solution → iron + zinc sulphate solution
g) gold + silver nitrate solution → no rxn
h) magnesium + calcium nitrate solution → no rxn
5) Three metals X, Y and Z have the following reactions:-

Y will displace X from a solution of its salt.
Z will displace both X and Y from solutions of their salts.
Place the three metals in order of reactivity, starting with the least reactive.
X, Y, Z
6) Here is a list of metals in order of decreasing reactivity. Q and R are mystery metals.
K > Q > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > R > Fe > Cu
a) Will Q react with cold water? Yes
b) Will R react with cold water? No
c) Will R react with dilute hydrochloric acid? Yes
d) Will R displace copper from copper sulphate solution? Yes
e) Write word equations for any reactions in parts a) to d)
a) Q + water → QOH(aq) + H2(g) or Q + water → Q(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

c) R + HCl → RCl(aq) + H2(g)
d) R + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + R2SO4 or R + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + RSO4

a) Yes: iron + copper (II) sulphate solution → copper + iron (II) sulphate solution
or
iron + copper (II) sulphate solution → copper + iron (III) sulphate solution
b) No rxn
c) Yes: copper + silver nitrate solution → silver + copper nitrate solution
d) Yes: zinc + lead nitrate solution → lead + zinc nitrate solution

a) Yes: iron + copper (II) oxide → copper + iron (II) oxide
or
iron + copper (II) oxide → copper + iron (III) oxide
b) Yes: aluminum + iron oxide → iron + aluminum oxide
c) No rxn
d) Yes: magnesium + zinc oxide → zinc + magnesium oxide
