Bellwork: What is another word of solution?

Acid and base
 Acid
An acid is a substance that produces a
hydronium ion (H3O+) when dissolved in water.
A hydronium ion (H3O+) is also interchangeably
used with a hydrogen ion (H+).
hydronium ion (H3O+)
 Base
A base is a substance that produces hydroxide
ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
Examples of Acids and Bases
 pH Scale

• Neutral: the pH of water is 7

• Acid: lower than 7 (red)

• Base: higher than 7 (blue)

 Litmus Test Explanation

✘ Use a red and blue strip in for each

test.
✘ Only one strip will change color.
✘ If the red strip turns blue, the
substance is a base
✘ If the blue strip turns red the
substance is and acid
✘ If neither change, the substance is
neutral.
