1
Lemon juice is acidic.
2
Pure water is neutral.
3
Many cleaning products are alkaline.
4
But what do these terms mean and how do we measure the difference?
5
The pH scale gives us a way to compare them and each step represents a much bigger change than you might expect.
6
You'll see the pH scale displayed in several ways as colored bars, a dial, droplets, and a digital display.
7
Each shows the same information in a different layout.
8
For a closer look we'll use this vertical scale and work through the examples one by one.
9
pH describes how acidic or alkaline a water -based solution is.
10
The familiar scale runs from 0 to 14 although some solutions fall outside this range.
11
At 25 degrees Celsius, 7 is neutral.
12
Below 7 is acidic.
13
Above 7 is alkaline, or basic.
14
To understand what these numbers mean, we need to look at the particles in the solution.
15
Water contains tiny amounts of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.
16
Ions are particles with an electrical charge.
17
In a neutral solution, hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions have equal concentrations.
18
An acidic solution has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.
19
In an alkaline solution, the reverse is true.
20
The lower the pH, the higher the hydrogen ion concentration.
21
Each whole step represents a tenfold change.
22
A solution at pH 3 has 10 times the hydrogen ion concentration of 1 at pH 4.
23
Compared with a solution at pH 5, it has 100 times the hydrogen ion concentration.
24
Move towards higher pH numbers, and hydrogen ion concentration decreases tenfold with each step.
25
This makes pH a logarithmic scale.
26
A difference of two pH units represents a hundred -fold change in hydrogen ion concentration.
27
A difference of three units represents a thousand -fold change.
28
The colors help us read the scale.
29
They represent the colors produced by Universal Indicator, a mixture of dyes that changes color with pH.
30
Universal Indicator generally shows reds and oranges in acidic solutions, green near neutral, and blues or purples in alkaline solutions.
31
These are indicator colors, not necessarily the colors of the substances themselves.
32
A calibrated pH meter measures pH electronically and displays a numerical reading.
33
Let's work through the examples, starting at the acidic end.
34
Their positions are approximate.
35
The actual pH depends on the particular sample and its concentration.
36
To test an unknown substance, we use suitable equipment.
37
Never taste or touch.
38
Battery acid appears at the extreme acidic end of our chart.
39
Lead -acid car batteries contain sulfuric acid, which takes part in the reactions that produce an electric current.
40
Battery acid is highly corrosive and can cause severe chemical burns.
41
Next is stomach acid.
42
Your stomach contains hydrochloric acid, which creates the acidic conditions needed by an enzyme called pepsin.
43
Pepsin helps digest proteins in food.
44
The acid also helps kill many swallowed microbes, while a protective mucus barrier helps shield the stomach lining.
45
Lemon juice commonly has a pH around 2 to 3.
46
Much of its acidity comes from citric acid
47
which gives lemons their familiar sour taste grapefruit juice is also
48
acidic commonly around ph3 it contains citric acid too the exact ph varies between fruits and can change as they ripen
49
tomato ketchup is usually around ph4 acids from the tomatoes
50
and added vinegar contribute to its tangy flavor the acidic conditions
51
also help limit the growth of many microorganisms black coffee is commonly around pH 5.
52
Several dissolved acids contribute to its acidity, and the exact pH depends on the beans and how the coffee is brewed.
53
A substance does not have to taste like lemon juice to be acidic.
54
Fresh milk is only slightly acidic, usually around pH 6 .5.
55
As milk sours, bacteria convert milk sugar into lactic acid.
56
This increases hydrogen ion concentration and lowers the pH.
57
At pH 7, we reach our neutral reference, pure water at 25 degrees Celsius.
58
Its hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion concentrations are equal.
59
Neutral does not mean these ions are absent.
60
Both are present in equal, very small amounts.
61
Moving past 7, we enter the alkaline region.
62
Seawater is slightly alkaline, with surface ocean water averaging around pH 8 .1.
63
When the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, chemical reactions increase hydrogen ion concentration and lower the pH.
64
This is called ocean acidification.
65
The term describes the decrease in pH, even though seawater remains alkaline.
66
Around pH 9, we find borax dissolved in water.
67
Borax is a mineral used in some cleaning products.
68
Its solution is alkaline, with a typical pH around 9 .2.
69
Milk of magnesia is around pH 10 to 11.
70
Despite its name, it is not dairy milk.
71
It contains magnesium hydroxide and is used as an antacid.
72
The magnesium hydroxide reacts with excess stomach acid, reducing acidity.
73
Household ammonia solution is often around pH 11.
74
It consists of ammonia dissolved in water and is used in some cleaning products to help remove grease.
75
Ammonia must never be mixed with bleach because the reaction can release dangerous gases.
76
At pH 12, our example is dilute lye, a sodium hydroxide solution.
77
This shows that even a relatively dilute solution can be highly alkaline.
78
Its pH depends on how much sodium hydroxide is dissolved in a given volume of solution.
79
Household chlorine bleach is another highly alkaline example, placed here near pH 13.
80
It contains sodium hypochlorite and is formulated to remain alkaline.
81
Its actual pH varies between products.
82
Bleach should never be mixed with other cleaners.
83
At the alkaline extreme, some drain cleaners contain concentrated sodium hydroxide.
84
This reacts with fats and helps break down organic material in blocked pipes.
85
Like battery acid at the opposite end of the scale, these products can cause severe chemical burns.
86
Now compare two solutions, one at pH 3 and another at pH 5.
87
Which has the higher hydrogen ion concentration?
88
The solution at pH 3.
89
How much higher?
90
100 times.
91
There are two steps between them, and each represents a factor of 10.
92
There's one more distinction to remember.
93
A low pH does not automatically mean an acid is classified as a strong acid.
94
In chemistry, acid strength describes how readily an acid releases hydrogen ions in water.
95
The pH also depends on its concentration.
96
Citric acid is classified as a weak acid, even though lemon juice has a low pH.
97
The pH scale helps us describe and compare solutions, from the food we eat to seawater and household products.
98
At 25 degrees Celsius, below 7 is acidic,
99
7 is neutral, and above 7 is alkaline and every whole step represents a tenfold change in hydrogen ion concentration.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
