Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use the pH scale to work out concentration differences between solutions relating to their pH, and discuss the differences between strong and weak acids.

Show transcript
pH is a logarithmic scale (as hydrogen ion concentration increases by a factor of 10, the pH decreases by 1). For a given concentration, a stronger acid contains more H⁺ ions. Titration curves can be used to show the change in pH to allow chemists to pinpoint a more accurate end point. A strong acid is completely ionised in aqueous solution, a weak acid only partially ionises. Titration curves show how the pH changes throughout a neutralisation reaction.
