INTRODUCTION
This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students understand selected National 5 Chemistry topics. It is based on the requirements of the SQA specification but is suitable for other examination boards.
Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes and it can also prove useful for classroom teaching with an interactive white board.
Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of Chemistry topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY WEBSITE at...

pH SCALEpH SCALE
Despite what some people think, the pH scale is not restricted tobetween 0 and 14. It extends beyond those values, but is not asrelevant; e.g. the pH of the dilute HCl and H2SO4 found on the laboratory shelves is -0.3 and -0.6 respectively.

Weak acids have higher pH values than stronger ones of the sameconcentration.
Ethanoic acid CH3COOH has a larger pH thanhydrochloric acid HCl of the same concentration.
MEASURING pHMEASURING pH
Indicator Add a few drops of universal (full-range) indicator tothe solution and compare the colour against a
chart.
The colour you “see” depends not only on how many
drops of indicator you add but also on your perception
of colour.

pH meters Electrical/electronic devices which measure theconductivity of the solution.
Having calibrated the apparatus against a solution of
known pH, you place the probe in any solution and read
off the pH value on a scale or digital read-out.

STRONG ACIDS COMPLETELY dissociate (split up) into ionse.g. sulphuric, hydrochloric, nitric
WEAK ACIDS PARTIALLY dissociate (split up) into ionse.g. ethanoic, citric, carbonic
This means that if you take similar concentrations of HCl andCH3COOH, the concentration of H+ ions in the solution of CH3COOHwill be less as only a few of its molecules will have split up into ions.Its pH will consequently be higher.
ACIDSACIDS
Reactions The hydrogen ions produced by acids can be replacedby other positive ions (metal ions or ammonium
ions)to produce salts. This occurs when dilute acids
reactwith metals, oxides of metals, hydroxides of metals,carbonates, hydrogencarbonates and ammonia.

Other chemicals are formed, it depends on what is neutralising the acid.

TITRATION.
1 Place a measured quantity of acid in a conical flask.2 Add three or four drops of a suitable indicator.3 Place the alkali in a burette. Note the level of the liquid.4 Add the alkali to the acid until the indicator just changes colour Note the new level of liquid.5 Repeat experiment with exactly the same volumes but no indicator.6 Evaporate a small amount of the water in an evaporating basin and let the solution cool to allow crystals to form.
