The pH Scale – Acids and Bases Worksheets
Chemistry Mini-Unit on the pH Scale, Acids and Bases (25-pages)
The pH of a solution is a number which tells how acidic or basic a solution is. This 25-page chemistry mini-unit covers some of the following
- which numbers on a pH scale indicate that a substance is an acid, base or neutral substance
- using the pH scale to identify different acids and bases,
- comparing the acidity/alkalinity of substances,
- pH indicators (litmus indicators, pH test strips), and
- the logarithmic scale
This new Acids & Bases – pH Scale mini-packet is over 25 pages and includes worksheets for younger (elementary/middle school students) as well as notebook pages that I made for my high school kids.
Here are some of the topics covered in this new pH Scale – Acids and Bases Worksheets Packet:
What is the pH scale? The pH scale is a color-coded scale that shows how acidic or basic a solution is. On the pH scale, anything below the number 7 is considered to be acidic. A substance greater than 7 is considered to be alkaline or basic.
What is an acid or a base? The word acid comes from the Latin word “acer” which literally means sour. Bases have a bitter taste and a soap-like texture.
In pH the term ‘p’ stands for the German word “Potenz”, meaning power or concentration. The term ‘H’ stands for the hydrogen ion, H+.
When the number of H+ ions equals the number of OH– ions, the water is neutral. The range goes from 0 – 14, with 7 being neutral.
Logarithmic scale
The pH scale is a negative logarithmic scale of base ten that measures the potential of a solution to accept protons in the form of hydrogen ions. For example, a solution with pH level 8 is ten times more alkaline than pure water, which has a pH level of 7.
