ACIDOS-BASES

Nombre: Curso: Fecha:

Objetivo (OA2- OA7): Reconocer experimentalmente sustancia acidas y básicas según el
valor de pH.
Introduction:
Do you know that we actually usemany acids and bases every day in our daily lives?
Yes, some times we even consume them!
Although these house hold acids and bases are commonly used,not many know that they
are using them and many are unaware of the precautions thats hould be taken.
Acid and bases, they have a variety of uses like in medicine, food, cleaning, fertilization,
industry and as I mentioned before they are used in our body so it allow it to function
properl

Acid: a group of chemical substances that have similar properties when dissolved in water.
Some of the properties they share are sourness and the ability to dissolve metals and
conduct electricity. Acids include the numbers 1-6 on the pH scale.
Base: a group of chemical substances that have similar properties when dissolved in
water. Some of the properties they share are bitterness, slipperiness or oiliness, and the
ability to conduct electricity. Another word for base is alkali. Bases include the numbers 8-
14 on the pH scale.
Neutral: a 7 on the scale; balanced Predict whether each item will be an acid or a base.

ACTIVITY: YOU MUST PREDICT FOR ALLSUBSTANCES BEFORE STARTING.

1. Dip an indicator strip half way into the cup labeled vinegar.
2. Pull out strip and compare it to the indicator chart.
3. Record the color you see in the cup and the pH number that matches that color. Record
the number.
4. Write whether the substance is an acid, a base, or a neutral based on the number.
5. Repeat steps 2-5 with each substance listed below.
