Acids & Alkalis

    -   Acids like hydrochloric acid , sulfuric acid , nitric acid in school lab – colorless , not pure,
        substance diluted in water to form solution
    -   Acids are substances that dissociate H+ ions or hydrogen ions when in water, as the only
        positive ion.
    -   Fermented milk products like yoghurt : lactic acid
    -   Ants and Bees : formic acid in their sting
    -   Citrus fruits like orange , lemons and limes : citric acid
    -   Acid properties
         Corrosive
                 Can burn clothes or skin
         Sour
         Turn blue litmus paper red
         React with some metals to give off hydrogen gas
                 Dilute acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen
         React with carbonates to give off carbon dioxide gas
                 Limewater to test
                 Dilute acid + Carbonate -> Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water
    -   Hydrochloric acid : remove rust on iron and steel
    -   Sulfuric acid : used in car batteries
    -   Nitric acid : manufacture fertilizers

    -   Alkalis belong to large class of chemicals called bases.
    -   Alkali is base that is soluble in water.
        Eg. Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide are alkalis that dissolve in water to form
        solutions.
    -   Alkali property
         Corrosive
         Bitter
         Soapy feel
         Turn red litmus paper blue
    -   Ammonia solution : make fertilizers
    -   Sodium Hydroxide ( caustic soda ) : make soaps and detergents
    -   Calcium Hydroxide ( Slaked lime / lime water ) : reduce acidity of soil for agriculture

    -   Neutralization is mixing an acid and an alkali together.
    -   Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water
    -   Face cleansers are alkaline and cause skin to be dry. Toner neutralize acidity to restore skin
        to normal level of acidity.
    -   Shampoos contain mild alkali and cause strand of hair to become tangled easily. Hair
        conditioners contain mild acid to neutralize alkali and make hair smoother and easier to
        manage.
    -   After eating, food remains on teeth and can decay and produce acid to cause tooth decay.
        Toothpaste is alkaline help teeth neutralize the acid.
-   Indicators can tell whether a solution is acidic or alkaline.
-   Indicator is a substance which changes colour depending on whether the solution tested is
    acidic or alkaline
-   Common indicators – universal indicator , red and blue litmus, methyl orange,
    phenolphthalein
-   Usually exist as solution but also as indicator papers which are papers soaked in the
    solutions of indicators
-   Indicator normally from natural source

-   PH scale is scale of colours or number
-   Range of values from 0 to 14. 0 is high acidity, 14 is high alkalinity. 7 is neutral.
-   PH papers change colour when dipped in solution and after compare colour with colour
    chart can know PH. They are simple to use and portable.
-   PH meter is electronic device to measure effectively by inserting electrode into solution and
    reading will be displayed. Very costly and delicate equipment but accurate measurements.

-   Universal Indicator :

       Acid in car battery ( 1-2 )
       Lemon juice ( 2-4 )
       Pure water ( 7 )
       Soap ( 8-10 )
       Detergent ( 12-14)
