Introduction

What do you know about acids and bases?

Can you describe acids?bases?
Can you give examples of acids?bases?

1
 Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water and they
typically have a pH less than 7.

Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water and
they typically have a pH greater than 7.

An indicator is a dye that changes into a different color depending on whether it is an

acid or a base.

A common indicator is litmus, a dye taken from the lichen plant. Litmus turns red in
acidic mixtures and becomes blue in basic mixtures.

B. Development How acidic or basic are common household materials?

Does water from different sources have the same acidity?
What is the effect of acid on metals?

Importance of pH
1. pH and the Human Body

Acids and bases perform specific functions to balance the pH levels in the body. When
your body has too much carbon dioxide, the blood becomes too acidic. You breathe
slowly. Breathing is slowed to increase the pH in the blood. If pH in the body is too
basic, you will hyperventilate to lower the pH. This acid and base control is an important
part of biological homeostasis (balance) in humans. In fact, human life is sustained only
if the pH of our blood and body tissues is within a small range near 7.4.

2. Food processing and fruit Preservation

During food processing, pH is closely followed to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

3. pH in Soil
The pH of soil is very important. Some plants grow well in acidic soil while others prefer
basic soil.

4.pH of Rainwater

 5. Maintaining pH of personal Care Products

What do you think will happen when acid and a metal come in contact with each other?

Safety in Handling Acids and Bases

Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Strong

irritant to eye, skin, and mucous
membrane. Do not take internally.
Avoid contact with eyes, nose and
mouth. Use only in well ventilated
areas. Keep tightly sealed. Do not
store above 60oC. Keep out of reach
of children.

Examples of Neutralization Process:

1. Treating indigestion
2. Using toothpaste
3. Treating soil
4. Treating factory wastes

How Can You Tell if a Mixture is Acidic or Basic?

CAUTION:It is dangerous to taste or touch a solution in order to decide if it is acidic or a basic.

Part A. Preparation of Indicator*

I. Materials Needed
 1 pc mature, dark violet eggplant
 alum (tawas) powder
 sharp knife or peeler
 small casserole or milk can
 plastic egg tray or small transparent plastic cups
 brown bottle with cover
 alcohol lamp
 tripod
II. Procedure
1. Peel an eggplant as thin as possible. Cut the materials into small pieces and place in a small casserole ormilk can. You may keep the flesh
of the eggplant for other purposes.
2. Add about 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 cup tap water to the peel depending on the size of the eggplant . Boil for 5 minutes. Stir from time to time.
3. Transfer the mixture into a bottle while it is still hot. There is no need to filter, just remove the solid portion. The mixture may change if left
in open air for more than 5 minutes.
4. Immediately add a pinch (2-3 matchstick head size) of alum (tawas) powder into the solution or until the solution becomes dark blue in
color. Stir well while still hot. This is now the indicator solution.
Note: Alum will stabilize the extract. The extract will be more stable with alum but it is recommended that the solution be used within a few
days. Keep the extract in the refrigerator or cool dark place when not in use.

Part B. Determining the acidity or basicity of some common household items

In this part of the activity, you will find out if a given household material is acidic or basic using the plant indicator you have prepared in
Part A.

CAUTION: Use one dropper for one kind of sample. Wash each dropper after one use. Do not mix samples!

Materials Needed
 plant indicator prepared in Part A
 vinegar
 distilled water
 tap water
 baking soda
 baking powder
 calamansi
 Other food/home items with no color:(toothpaste, shampoo, soap, detergent, fruit juice like buko juice, sugar in water, soft drink)
 2 plastic egg trays or 12 small plastic containers
 6 droppers
 6 plastic teaspoons
 stirrer (may be teaspoon, barbecue stick or drinking straw)
Procedure
1. Place one (1) teaspoon of each sample in each well of the egg tray.
2. Add 8-10 drops (or 1⁄2 teaspoon) of the plant indicator to the first
sample.
Note: If the sample is solid, wet a pinch (size of 2-3 match heads) of the solid
with about 1⁄2 teaspoon of distilled water.

3. Note the color produced. Record your observations in column 2 of Table 1.

TABLE 1

Sample Color of indicator Nature of sample

calamansi
tap water (water from
the faucet)
Distilled water
vinegar
sugar in water
baking soda
5
baking powder
soft drink (colorless)
coconut water (from buko)
toothpaste
shampoo
soap

4. Repeat step number 1 of Part B for the other samples.

5. Determine the acidic or basic nature of your sample using the color scheme below for eggplant or camote indicator and record the nature
of each sample in Table 1.
Strongly acidic: red to pale red
Weakly acidic: blue
Weakly basic: green
Strongly basic: yellow
