7. What is pH?
a. pH is a measurement of hydrogen ion concentration. It measures rather the solution is acid, base, or neutral.

8. What is a base?
a. Accepts hydrogen ions from another substance that have a pH>7. It taste bitter and feel slippery.

9. What is an acid?
a. Component with a positive or negative charge that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion. (H+)

10. What does it mean if a solution has more hydrogen ions (H+)?
a. More acidic the solution is

11. What does it mean if a solution has more hydroxide ions (OH-)?
a. Basic

12. What does it mean if a solution is neutral?
a. The concentration of hydronium equals the concentration of hydroxide ions.

13. Explain the pH scale and how it is used to indicate acidic, alkaline, and neutral solutions.

    The pH scale works in the light of simplicity, where a 7 on the scale tells you a substance is neutral, anything below 6.9 towards 0 is increasingly acidic, and anything above 7.1 to 14 is increasingly basic. For example, battery acid would gauge 0, or very close to 0, while bleach, drain cleaner, and things of this sort gauge 14, or very close.…

    Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. They are classifiable into acids, bases and salts using different indicators. An acid releases hydrogen ions, donates protons and accepts electron pairs. It is usually sour in taste and reacts vigorously with most metals. It also changes blue litmus paper to red. Moreover, it has a pH less than 7 and can be used to neutralize bases. A base, on the other hand, releases hydroxyl ions, accepts protons and donates electron pairs. It usually has a bitter taste and is nonreactive to metals. It has a pH more than 7 and changes red litmus paper to blue and can be used to neutralize acids. Salts result from the neutralization of an acid with a base.…
