Acids and Bases
What makes an Acid HCl HF H 2 SO 4 HNO 3 HCH 3 COO H 3 PO 4
What makes a Base NaOH KOH Ca(OH) 2
Homework Choose 3 of the acids – How do they make them? Choose NaOH or KOH – How do they make it? Due Wednesday…
Special Case of Double Replacement Reaction HCl + NaOH
Indicators A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually. Phenolpthalein pH paper Litmus paper
