Acids and Bases Acids and bases are two special kinds of chemicals Almost all liquids are either acids or bases to some degree. Whether a liquid is an acid or a base depends on the ions that are present When acids and bases mix they neutralize (cancel) each other
In Our Bodies Stomach releases hydrochloric acid to help breakdown food Heartburn is when the acid comes up the esophagus Stomach is protected by thick lining Food exiting the stomach is mixed with strong bases
In Nature Bee stings -Injects you with an acid -Causes pain and swelling Bee stings -Injects you with an acid -Causes pain and swelling Poison Ivy -Produce a basic substance - Severe irritation occurs Poison Ivy -Produce a basic substance - Severe irritation occurs

How do we know which is which? One is an acid, one is a base and one is neutral.
Litmus Paper Blue Litmus Paper Red Litmus Paper Acidic Substance Turns RedStays Red Basic Substance Stays BlueTurns Blue Neutral Substance Stays BlueStays Red
Examples You dip a red litmus paper in a liquid and it stays red. What is your liquid (acid, base, neutral) What would you do next? What would you see?
pH Scale
How Does It Work Is a lemon (pH 2) only slightly more acidic than battery acid (pH 0.2)? Does this makes? Every increment is increase by a factor of 10!!
