Identify the use of litmus (paper & solution) and identify any limitations.
Litmus paper can tell if a solution is basic or acidic but can’t tell you how strong the solution is
Explain how to use an acid-base indicator.
The universal indicator. U put drops of it into a solution and depending on the color u can tell the ph level
Define pH and use it to classify substances as acidic, basic or neutral.
A measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution
Classification:
Acidic: pH < 7
Neutral: pH = 7
Basic: pH > 7
Describe advantages of using digital methods of measuring pH rather than chemical indicators.
Higher accuracy and resolution
Recall the indicators of a chemical change.
Color change
Formation of gas bubbles
Temperature change
Formation of a solid precipitate
Change in odor
Acids with Metals:
acid + metal → salt + hydrogen gas
Acids with Carbonates:
acid + carbonate →metal salt + water + carbon dioxide
Acids with Bases (Neutralization):
acid + base → salt + water
Define the term isotope.
An isotope is a variant of a chemical element that has:
The same number of protons (same atomic number)
A different number of neutrons
What is the source of natural radioactivity
Decay of unstable nuclei in atoms
Explain the term radioisotope
An isotope that is unstable causing to to release radiation in order to become more stable
