Properties of Acids and Bases [02:04]

strengths of acids & bases• refers to how well an acid

or base separates into ions in water

pH scale• ranges from 0 – 14

• pH < 7 acid

• pH = 7 neutral

• pH > 7 base pH Scale song

Universal indicator shows how acidic or alkaline a solution is

neutralization• reaction between an acid & base

• produces water & a salt

an ionic compound
