  1. III. pH A. Dissociation of Water Molecules: 1. Water molecules split to form ions. (hydroxide ion) H2O H+ + OH-

  2. H+ + OH- *The dissociation of water is reversible. H2O

  3. 2. In pure water, H+ and OH- are equal in concentration. 3. Certain substances can cause imbalances in these concentrations. a. These substances are called ACIDS and BASES.

  4. B. Acids 1. Add (donate) more H+ when dissolved in water. 2. More H+ = stronger acid 3. Taste sour • Example: HCl  H+ and Cl-

  5. C. Bases 1. Add more OH- when dissolved in water. 2. More OH- = stronger base 3. Alkaline 4. Taste bitter • Example: NaOH  Na+ and OH-

  6. D. pH scale The measure of how acidic or basic a compound is Neutral 7 1 2 3 4 5 68 9 10 11 12 13 14 strong weak weak strong Basic Acidic [H+] > [OH-] [H+] < [OH-]
