Q

How is the pH probe used

A

Placed in a solution you’re measuring at the pH is given on a digital display as a numerical value meaning it is more accurate than indicator

Q

What is an alkali

A

A base that dissolves in water to form a solution with a pH greater than seven
Phone 0H minus ions in water

17
Q

What is the difference between alkaline and bases

A

Are both bases but only alkali dissolves in water

18
Q

Neutralisation reaction between acid and bases

A

Acid + base -> salt + water

19
Q

Neutralisation between acids and alkalis

A

H+ + OH- -> H2O

20
Q

When an acid neutralise as a base what are the products

A

Neutral and have a pH of seven

21
Q

What can the neutralisation of strong alkalis and acids be used for

A

Calculate the concentration of an acid or alkali by titration
