4.1 – Describe how acids and bases in solution affect certain indicators
4.2 Determine the pH of a solution using a universal indicator
PH SCALE
A scale of values that show how basic or acidic a substance is based on an
assigned number

You have a glass of orange juice that has a pH of 3. What can you conclude about the orange juice?
It is an ACID
You have some drain cleaner that has a pH of 13.5. What can you conclude?
It is a BASE
You have some distilled water. What can you conclude about the pH? It is NEUTRAL, so pH = 7
Which of the following substances would definitely have a pH under 7?
H2SO4H2SO4 HClHCl H2OH2O
CaCl2CaCl2 CH4
CH4 KOHKOH Mg(OH)2Mg(OH)2
pH under 7 = ACIDSpH under 7 = ACIDS

If substance A has a pH of 1 & substance B has a pH of 3, which is MORE ACIDIC?
Substance A – it is actually 100 times more acidic!!!

Indicators are chemical dyes that turn different colours when they are placed in
acidic and alkaline (basic) solutions
Methyl Red is an indicator & its colour change is shown below.

Methyl Red
RED Orange Yellow
If this indicator where placed in a solution with a pH of 6, what colour would it turn?
Orange
If this indicator where placed in a solution with a pH of 11.5, what colour would it turn? Yellow
The table below shows various indicators
If you have a solution of pH 5, what colour will it turn in each indicator?
Yellow
Red
RedYellow/Orange
Colorless
Yellow
Yellow
•Universal Indicator (pH paper) is a special indicator.
•Like Litmus Paper, it uses color, but a much larger range of colors, closely identifying the pH of a solution relatively accurately.
Notice the color range…
•red shows very strong acid
•orange/yellow is a weaker acid
•green is neutral
•blue/indigo shows weak base
•purple/violet shows strong base
