- 5. Many thing containacids. Some foods contain acids. They have sour, sharp, tangy taste. Common acids in laboratory are hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. When acids mix with metals or carbonate rocks, they can cause a fizzing or bubbling reaction. Acids are everywhere Some acids are strong. They are corrosive. If a strong acid gets on your skin, you will get a chemical burn. Acids can be diluted with water, this makes them less dangerous. Some acids are dangerous
- 6. An alkali isa substance that can neutralize an acid, often having a slippery or soapy feel, and a bitter taste. Examples of alkalis include substances like baking soda and certain cleaning agents. When diluted with water, they become less dangerous. Common alkalis are sodium hydroxides, potassium hydroxides and calcium hydroxides. Alkalis are everywhere • Stand up to work. • Wear safety glasses • Take the top off the bottle and place it upside down on the work surface. • Replace the bottle top as soon as you finish using the bottle. Work safely with acids & alkalis Do question answers of topic 7.1 (page # 90, 91) on your nb.
- 7. Properties of acidsand alkalis Acids Alkalis Corrosive corrosive Sticky to touch Slippery/soapy touch Sour taste Bitter taste Smell (can burn the nose) Usually no smell Acids turn blue litmus red Turn red litmus blue pH less than 7 pH more than 7 React with alkali to form salt and water React with acid to form salt and water Conduct electricity Conduct electricity Calcium hydroxide solution, commonly known as lime water, is used to test for carbon dioxide. When the gas is bubbled through lime water, it turns milky.

- 9. An indicator isa dye that changes color when it is put into an acid or an alkali and shows whether a solution is acid or alkali. Indicators Litmus is an indicator; it is a blue/purple die which comes from small plants called lichens. Litmus paper is a quick way to identify an acid or an alkali. Blue litmus paper is used to test an acid. It turns from blue to red, indicating acid. Red litmus paper is used to test an alkali. Red litmus paper turns blue in an alkali solution. Litmus

- 13. Neutralisation When an acidand an alkali are mixed together they cancel each other out or neutralize each other. The diagram shows what happens when an acid is added to an alkali with universal indicator in it. At the start, before an acid is added, the indicator is purple. As the drops of acids are added, the alkali is slowly cancelled out. This causes the indicator to change color gradually. Eventually it becomes green – the solution is neutral.

- 15. Your stomach produceshydrochloric acid. This gives the stomach the right conditions to digest your food. When your stomach produces too much acid you have indigestion. Alkalis are used to tread indigestion. The neutralizes the acids. They are also called antiacids. The bacteria in our mouth produces acid when they feed on the food particles left on your teeth. This acid damages your teeth and makes them decay. Toothpastes contain alkali and this helps to neutralize the acid. Indigestion Toothpaste
