OL Lab 8: Acids and BasesLearning Objectives
Give examples of acids and bases from everyday life
Define pH and identify acids and bases using the pH scale
Apply the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases to chemical compounds
Describe the amphoteric and self-ionization capacity of water
Calculate the pH of a strong acid and base in solution
Assess whether a neutralization reaction will occur
Evaluate the outcome of simple acid-base reactions
Introduction
Have you ever consumed an acid or a base? Yes, you have! Acids and bases are found all around us: In
the food we eat, the beverages we drink, many of the everyday household products at home and even
inside us! In this virtual simulation, you will learn the fundamentals of acids and bases and go through
some of the ways they can be characterized and used in the lab.
Acidic life
How do acidic or alkaline foods affect the pH of our blood, and what does this even mean? Together
with your lab assistant, Marie, you will explore different concepts of acids and bases, and investigate
how alkaline foods can also contain acids. You will measure the pH of solutions, and dive into these to
experience what happens at the molecular level.
Salty mixtures
In order to determine what reactions occur when you mix acids and bases of different strengths, you will
have the freedom to mix these solutions and interpret the resulting salt products. And don’t worry if you
make mistakes – in this virtual lab, you can just reset and start over! On-the-go quizzes will make sure
you are up to speed, and you can always dive into the theory pages for more in-depth explanations.
Corrosive everyday chemicals
Acids and bases can be corrosive and very dangerous to handle. But they also play a fundamental role in
all living things, in nature, and in the chemical industry.
Will you be able to measure the acidity of various substances around you?
