Introduction:
When you combine strong acids and bases, perfect ionization is achieved. This means that all that is left after the reactions are water and the spectator ion. The definition of an acid is “a substance that produces hydronium ions when dissolved in water.” Acids have a pH range from 1-6. Bases release hydroxide ions when dissolved in water, with a pH level of 8-14. There are different segments of acids and bases, weak, and strong. In this lab, we used strong acids and bases, to make it easier for us to find the levels of concentration (it is easier to calculate too!). Also, since the acids and bases are strong, they ionize completely, which develops a neutralization reaction. This allows the indicators to work....
