Chemistry is extremely important to biology as how atoms behave and interact gives us cell structure and
function! One specific chemical process that we study is the pH of solutions. This activity is a virtual lab that we
will confirm in an actual lab setting soon! Please read all instructions carefully. Once you have done some
preliminary definitions, readings and eventually predictions and testing virtually) you will apply your knowledge
to answer the post lab questions. You may write on this, but if you need more room please add paper…do not
cram answers onto this paper!
18) After you are done predicting, actually test each solution through the website and record the actual pH of
each solution in the table below.
4. If you out one acid causing ion together with one base causing ion, what do you get?
9. Would you rather (if you HAD to) place a solution with a pH of 3 or a pH of 6 on your skin? Why?
10. Each number on the pH scale is to the power of 10. So how many more times acidic is a pH of 5 than 6?
