Students will learn about acids and bases through a class discussion and then test a dilute acid and dilute base with neutral litmus paper to learn how the paper indicates something is acidic or basic. Once that skill is learned they can move on to test some common items that would be found around their house to determine if they are acids or bases. Optional: Extra litmus paper is included to test more items either from home or around the school building for a greater understanding of acids and bases. The activity contains enough materials for 6 groups of students.


Safety Data Sheet

Description
Many combinations of mono and trivalent cations yield crystals of the same stoichiometry and structure. The crystals are normally in the form of an octahedron. Sodium, potassium and ammonium ions are often the monovalent species whereas aluminum and chromium are examples of the trivalent ions. Potassium alum, KAl(SO4)2 12H2O, is the most common and is used in water purification, paper manufacturing and as a mordant in dyeing. In this experiment we will perform a series of chemical reactions which lead to the synthesis of the ionic compound potassium alum.
