Acids in solution have a pH below 7.0, a sour taste, releases hydroxyl ions in water, and turn litmus paper red. Acids are divided into two main classes: (1) Strong acids are very corrosive and cause severe skin burns, examples are hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid. Also called mineral or inorganic acids. (2) Weak acids are mildly corrosive and normally do not affect skin, examples are acetic acid (vinegar), citric acid (citrus fruit juice acid), and tartaric acid (used in making mayonnaise). Also called natural or organic acids.

    The substances that I found to be acids are vinegar, mouthwash, gastric juice, black coffee, and lemon juice. These substances were found to be acids because after testing them by dipping pH paper into a well fill with about three drops of the substance, the color of the paper turned to a color correlating with the color of a six or lower on the pH scale.…

    Strong Bases Lab Report

    Aqueous solutions of acids have a pH of less than 7. An acid has a ph containing acid or having the properties of an acid in particular, having a pH of less than 7. Acids we use eat and drink everyday are oranges and lemons. The strength of an acid refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton. A strong acid is one that completely dissociates in water; in other words, one mole of a strong acid HA dissolves in water yielding one mole of H+ and one mole of the conjugate base, A−, and none of the protonated acid. Then the neutralization of acid is when the reaction between an acid and a base, producing a salt and neutralized base for example hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide form sodium chloride and water. Neutralization with a base weaker than the acid results in a weakly acidic salt. An example is the weakly acidic ammonium chloride, which is produced from the strong acid hydrogen chloride and the weak base ammonia. Conversely neutralizing a weak acid with a strong base gives a weakly basic salt sodium fluoride from hydrogen fluoride and sodium hydroxide. Acids are often used to remove rust and other corrosion from metals in a process known as pickling. They may be used as an electrolyte in a wet cell battery…

    Acid Rain Lab Report

    As a result we found out how chemicals and HCL combine, changing the water’s pH levels. When pH levels are too high, the water is labeled as being too acidic meaning it is too hazardous to drink or touch. AST International claims that “Most of us automatically classify lemons, rhubarbs and vinegar as acidic solely because of the way they taste. We don’t realize that strawberries and tomatoes and plenty of other foods are acids too” (Tanasescu). The release of hydrogen ions is how we determine if foods are classified as acids or…

    An acid is a solution that has more free hydrogen ions (H + ) than hydroxyl ions (OH - ) and a pH less than 7. A base is a solution that has less free hydrogen ions (H + ) than hydroxyl ions (OH - ) and a pH of more than 7. In the late 1800s, the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius purposed that water can dissolve many compounds by separating them into their individual ions. Arrhenius suggested that acids are compounds that contain hydrogen and can dissolve in water to release hydrogen ions into solution. For example, hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissolves in water as follows:…

    Analysis: The Sacralization Of Christmas

    Hey Virginia, there is more than just a Santa Claus. Nowadays, Americans have either forgotten or ignored Christmas traditions put in place over 1500 years ago. They would rather indulge in the gifts and shopping to please their family than sit back and enjoy the holiday. This new mindset has led Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal festivals to lose their religious intent through the past centuries by the hands of both people and markets. The original purpose of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, has been trampled and overshadowed by a marketeer’s interpretation of how to represent the holiday. Santa and snowmen have become the faces of Christmas, instead of the Son…

    Lab Report

    I discovered from an A' level text book (A-level Chemistry by Ramsden) that nitric acid doesn't usually give hydrogen, but may do with magnesium if the acid is cold and dilute. The book didn't say how dilute the acid had to be. Other products may include oxides of nitrogen. I know that some acids are weak and some are strong. A strong acid is one which ionises fully in solution to give hydrogen ions and, for example, chloride ions or sulphate ions. Sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid are all strong acids. Ethanoic acid is a weak acids. That means that its solution contains a high proportion of molecules that haven't split into ions. For all the reactions which give off hydrogen, the same ionic equation applies - whether the acid is strong or weak: Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) Mg2+(aq) + H2(g)…

    Acids, Bases, and Neutrals

    pH measures how acidic or alkaline a solution is. The pH scale ranges from 0-14. Solutions that range from 0-6 are considered to be acidic. Solutions that are on the acidic end of the scale are low in pH, high in hydrogen ion, and low in hydroxyl ions. An acid has a sour taste, hence, will react to metal and will be corrosive; therefore, they are considered as an electrolyte because it conducts an electrical charge. Such examples of acids that are hydrochloric acid, citric acid and vinegar. Solutions that are bases on the pH scale range from 8-14. Bases are high in pH, low in hydrogen ion and high in hydroxyl ion. Bases have a bitter taste and a slippery feel. Bases dissolve in water and are also an electrolyte. Examples of bases are sodium hydroxide and cleaning products. Solutions that are neutral have an equal amount of hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion. An example of this is blood. Solutions that are neutral on the pH scale range are 7.…
