Slide Number 6

Learning Goals

Using this simulation we will learn about,

4. pH of a solution.

5. Effect of dilution on pH of a solution.

6. Logarithmic and Linear scale.

Slide Number 7

pH scale

pH scale is a, numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration in mol/L.

Slide Number 8

Formula for pH calculation.

Point to the formula.

pH = - log[H+]

pH is negative logarithm to base 10 of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH = - log[H+]

Slide Number 9

pH for Acids, Bases and Neutral Solutions.

For acidic solutions, pH is less than 7(< 7).

For basic solutions, pH is greater than 7 (> 7).

For neutral solutions, pH is equal to 7 (= 7).

The file opens in the browser.

Cursor on the interface. This is the interface of pH scale simulation.
Point to the each screen. The interface has three screens-

Macro

Micro

My solution

Cursor on the Macro screen.

Click on Macro screen.

Let us begin our simulation with Macro screen.

Click on Macro screen to open it.

Cursor on Macro screen.

Cursor on a pH scale.

Point to a green probe.

Point to a pH meter.

This screen has-

A pH scale on the left, to display pH range from 0 to 14.

A green probe attached to pH scale to measure pH and

A pH meter to show pH of the liquids.

Cursor on water pump.

Cursor on water container.

Point to pump.

A water pump on the right side of screen to add water.

A graduated water container filled by default with Chicken Soup.

A pump to remove solution is attached at the bottom left of the container.

Point to the dropper.

Cursor on drop down box.


Point to Chicken Soup.

A dropper to add liquid.

A drop down box to choose one of the liquids.

By default Chicken Soup is selected.

Point to Reset button. A Reset button is provided at the right hand side bottom corner.
Click on the drop down arrow.

Scroll to Battery Acid and click.

Point to the container.

Point to 0.5 L.

Click on the drop down arrow.

Scroll to Battery Acid and click on it.

Notice that, the container is filled with Battery Acid up to 0.50 L (0.5litres).

Drag the green probe.

Point to the pH meter.

Drag the green probe into the container and observe the pH.

Meter shows the pH value as 1.0.

As pH is less than 7(<7), Battery Acid is an acidic solution.

Click on water pump.

Point to the container.


Cursor on the pH meter.

Now click on the water pump to add more water.

Increase the water level up to 1Litre.

Observe the change in pH on addition of water.

Now pH meter shows pH value as 1.30.

Point to pH meter. Notice that pH of Battery Acid increases on addition of water.

This is because hydrogen [H+] ion concentration decreases with dilution.

Now we will select another solution.
Click on drop down arrow.

Scroll and click on Hand Soap.

Point to the container.

Click on drop down arrow.

Scroll to Hand Soap and click on it.

Container is filled with Hand Soap solution.

Point to the pH meter. Here, pH meter shows the value of pH as 10.00.

This indicates that Hand Soap is basic in nature.

Click on water pump. Click on water pump to add water to Hand Soap solution.
Click on water pump.

Cursor on the pH meter.

For 1 L, Hand Soap solution shows a pH value of 9.70.

We can see that pH of Hand Soap solution decreases on dilution.

This is because hydroxide ion (OH- ) concentration decreases with dilution.

Click on bottom pump.


Click on dropper.


Point to the pH meter.

Click on the bottom pump to remove half litre of Hand Soap solution.

Click on the dropper and increase the level of Hand Soap solution to 0.6 L.

Notice the change in pH.

It increases as concentration of hydroxide ion (OH- ) increases.

Now we will arrange the acids and bases according to their strengths.
Click on drop down arrow.

Click on Blood.

Point to the container and 0.5 L.


Point to the pH meter.

For that we will check the pH of different liquids.

Click on drop down arrow and select Blood.

Container is filled with Blood up to 0.50 L.

Meter shows the pH value as 7.40.

As pH is greater than 7( >7), Blood is a basic solution.

Click on drop down arrow.

Click on Orange Juice.

Point to the pH meter and 0.50 L.

Again click on drop down arrow and select Orange Juice.

Meter shows pH value as 3.50 for 0.50 L.

It is clear that Orange Juice is an acidic solution.

Slide Number 11

pH of acids and bases.

According to the above pH values the order is as follows.

Hand soap > Blood > Orange Juice > Battery Acid.
