Acids and Bases- the pH Scale Based on work by K. Foglia www.kimunity.com

Water forms Ions Hydrogen ion (H + ) splits off from water to leave a hydroxide ion ( - OH) H 2 0 ----> H + + - OH If concentration of 2 ions is equal, water is neutral If [H + ] > [ - OH], water is acidic If [ - OH] > [H + ], water is basic pH scale = how acidic or basic a solution is Based on work by K. Foglia www.kimunity.com

pH Scale In pure water only 1 water molecule in every 554 million is dissociated. very small amount of ions [H + ] or [OH - ] is 10 -7 M [H + ] [OH - ] = 10 -14 pH scale is based on this equation Based on work by K. Foglia www.kimunity.com

pH Scale In neutral solution [H + ] = 10 -7 pH = 7 Values for pH decline as [H + ] increase Acids adding acid increases [H + ] Bases adding base increases [OH - ] Based on work by K. Foglia www.kimunity.com

pH & Biology pH of a neutral solution = 7 Acidic solutions =pH 7 Most biological fluids have pH 6 – 8 pH values in human stomach can reach 2 Each pH unit represents a 10-fold difference in H + & OH - concentrations. small change in pH actually indicates a substantial change in [H + ] & [OH - ] Based on work by K.
