Acid and Alkali Worksheet 2

Write your answer using a different font colour.


1. Here are some measurements of solutions that were made using a pH meter:

Solution A B C D E F
pH 0 11 6 3 13 8

a) Which of the solutions are:


 Acids?
Solution A, C and D

 Alkalis?
Solution B, E and F

b) If the solutions were tested with universal indicator paper, what colour would the
indicator paper be with each one?

Solution A B C D E F
UI Colour red blue Yellowish orange purple Bluish
green green

c) Fresh milk has a pH of 6. How do you think the pH would change as it became sour?
Explain your answer.
The pH value will be decreased. This is because the sourer a substance
becomes, the more acidic it is, thus, the lower the pH value.
2. Here are some results of solution tested with universal indicator paper:

Solution Sulphuric Metal Washing- Milk of Oven Car battery


acid polish up-liquid magnesia cleaner acid
UI Colour Red Dark blue Yellow Light blue Purple Pink

Arrange the solutions in order of their pH, starting with the lowest pH.

SULFURIC ACID – CAR BATTERY ACID – WASHING-UP-LIQUID – MILK OF


MAGNESIA – METAL POLISH – OVEN CLEANER

3. Identify the strong and weak acids and alkalis from the results shown in Question 1
and 2.
Acids Alkalis
STRONG: Solution A and D, Sulfuric STRONG: Solution E, Oven cleaner,
acid, Car battery acid Metal polish

WEAK: Solution C, Washing-up- WEAK: Solution B and F, Milk of


liquid magnesia

4. For the statements below, determine whether they are TRUE or FALSE. Write the
answer in the bracket. If you pick FALSE, write down the correct statement below it.

a) All acids are dangerous. (TRUE )

b) Acids are sweet and smell nice. (FALSE )

Acids are sour and smell tangy and sharp.

c) Acids have pH low than 7. (TRUE )

d) Acids turn Universal Indicator purple. (FALSE )

Acids turn Universal Indicator red or yellow.

e) Acids react with alkali to become alkali solution. (FALSE )

It’ll become neutral solution.

f) If we spills acid on the ground, we can dilute it using oil. ( FALSE)

We dilute the acid with water.

g) All alkalis taste sour. ( FALSE)

Some alkalis taste bitter, most alkalis are soapy.

h) When handling the acids and alkalis, be careful as we might get burn. (TRUE )

i) Alkalis have pH from 7 to 14. (FALSE )

Alkalis have pH from 8 to 14.

j) In neutralisation, the solution will turn green when it is neutralized. (TRUE )

k) The litmus paper change to red for neutral. (FALSE )

The litmus paper change to purple for neutral.


l) The litmus paper change to blue for alkalis. (TRUE )

m) The red cabbage indicator is an example of natural indicator. (TRUE )

n) The red cabbage will turn purple for neutral substance. (TRUE )

o) Universal Indicator is the most helpful indicator for Acid and Alkali. (TRUE )

p) Strong alkali has pH of 14. (TRUE )

5. Answer the following questions regarding the neutralisation.


a) What colour is Universal Indicator when the solution is neutral?
GREEN

b) What sort of reaction happens when an acid and an alkali are mixed?
NEUTRALISATION

c) What will the colour of the solution be if more acid are drop into the conical flask
of alkali and Universal Indicator?
YELLOW TO RED COLOUR

d) What will the colour of the solution be if less acid are drop into the conical flask of
alkali and Universal Indicator?
BLUE

e) For rainbow neutralisation experiment, what is the colour and type of alkali at the
bottom part of the tube?
PURPLE, STRONG ALKALI

f) For rainbow neutralisation experiment, what is the colour and type of acid at the
top part of the tube?
RED, STRONG ACID
