Activity 7



Acid and Bases

1. The color of a solution identifies if it is an acid, base, or neutral solution.
False. The color of the liquid does not tell about what type of chemical is being tested. When the liquid is tested using the acid-base indicator that is when the litmus paper changes colors to indicate if it is an acid or base.
2. Which solution is basic?
d more than one. To measure if a solution is basic you look at the pH level. In this case 12.06 is well basic on the scale when using pH to measure.
3.Which solution is acidic?
d. Both b and c are leaning more towards acidic. This is because there is more H30 than there is OH-
4.Which solution is basic?
e based on pH levels there is none that are basic. For example the pH level for a is only 7 which is neutral. The rest of the solutions also have a low pH level.
5. Which solution is acidic?
d more than one there are multiple that are acidic. This is because the pH levels are high.
6.How will adding water effect the pH?
B Increase the pH, the relationship is inverse so by adding water which would usually would lower the acidity to change the pH level it actually raises it.
7. How will equal amount of water effect the pH?
d no pH change. Adding equal amounts doesn't have an affect because the change is not drastic enough.
8. What is the order from most acidic to most basic?
a the scale is going from acidic to basic. Acidic solutions have lower pH levels were as basic has higher so it goes in order of the picture.
9. What is the order from most acidic to most basic?
c the lowest item based on the Ph is b. There is only one option that starts with b and is the reason why it is the answer.
10.if spit has a pH =7.4, what does that tell you about the water equilibrium?
a spit usually does not have that high of a pH level so something had to be added to help raise the level.
