1. What is pH? Tells us the relative quantity of H + ions (or the acidity) in solution. Tells us the relative quantity of H + ions (or the acidity) in solution. The greater the [H + ] the lower the pH. The greater the [H + ] the lower the pH.

2. pH Values of Common Liquids

H 2 O H + + OH - H 2 O H + + OH - [H + ] = [OH - ] [H + ] = [OH - ] H+H+ OH - http://youtu.be/kW-Zk4zABzw

4. When Acid is Added to Water Increases the H + concentration Increases the H + concentration As H + increases, OH - decreases As H + increases, OH - decreases [H + ] > [OH - ] H+H+ OH -

5. When Base is Added to Water Increases OH - concentration Increases OH - concentration When OH - increases, H + decreases When OH - increases, H + decreases [OH  ] > [H + ] H+H+ OH -
