use the universal indicator to quantify the pH value of different acids
identify the product produced when reacting acids with metals
evaluate the strength of acids by making several different observations
Our Learning Goals
Slide 2 - Slide
acid - a substance that dissolves in water, producing H+ (aq) ions - a solution of acid turns litmus red and has a pH below 7; it acts as a proton donor
alkalis - soluble bases that produce OH-(aq) ions in water - a solution of an alkali turns litmus blue and has a pH above 7
indicator - a substance that changes colour when added to acidic or alkaline solutions, e.g., litmus or thymolphthalein
methyl orange - an acid-base indicator that is red in acidic and yellow in alkaline solutions
pH scale - a scale running from below 0 to 14, used for expressing the acidity or alkalinity of a solution; a neutral solution has a pH of 7
Universal indicator - a mixture of indicators that has different colours in solutions of different pH

Report any acid spills to your teacher immediately. The universal indicator will stain your clothing and skin.
Methyl orange indicator is corrosive, flammable, a health and moderate hazard, hazardous to the aquatic environment, and acutely toxic.
Sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonates are irritants.
Wear eye protection throughout.
