Use this video to familiarize students with the properties of
acids and bases. Beginning with an overview of how these two kinds of
chemicals react to or neutralize each other, the program explores
Arrheniuss ideas on ion release and Lowry and Bronsteds theory of
proton exchange. Details on the pH scale, indicators, conjugate
bases, and Lowry-Bronsted reactions are featured along with numerous
examples of acid and base applications: cleaning agents, electric
batteries, stomach antacids, and indicators in analytical chemistry
experiments. Viewers will find the videos lively demonstrations and
their use of everyday objects and materials particularly helpful.
