whats the best indicator
ph pro/ metre as it doenst ruin the solution and tells you how strong or weak the substance is
hydrogen ion
H+
Hydroxide ion
OH-
Nitrate
NO3 -
hydroxide
OH -
Carbonate
CO3 2-
Sulfate
SO4 2-
acids are
chemicals that when dissolve split to release hydrogen ions
alkalis are
bases that when dissolved in water split to release hydroxide ions
neuteral solutions
have an equal amount of H+ and OH- ions
strong acid
completely dissociated into H+ ions
weak acid
partially dissociated into H+ ions
ph scale measured by
how many H+ ions there are
ph scale H+ ions
PH 2 has ten times more H+ ions than PH 3
all alkalines…
alkalies are bases and are soluble in water
