What are acids & bases?

Mr. Heffner 1/19/10

What is a solution?   A solution is…

  a homogeneous mixture made up of a solute and a solvent   Example: sugar and water

  Non-example: sand and water

What are acids and bases?   Solutions can be classified as…

Acids   pH < 7   taste sour

  Ex: lemon juice   burn skin   turn litmus paper red

Bases   pH > 7   taste bitter

  Ex: soap   feel slippery   turn litmus paper blue

“pH scale”

Examples

  Is it an acid, a base, or neutral solution?   Vinegar   Water

  Baking soda   Drain cleaner   HCl (hydrochloric acid)
