4.Charateristics of Acids:
- sour taste
- Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas
- Increases the H+ concentration in water
- Donates H+ ions
- Turns blue litmus indicator red
5.Acid Indicators:
An Indicator does not change color from pure acid to pure alkaline at specific hydrogen ion concentration, but changes occur over a range of hydrogen ion concentrations.
What Happens? Weak acids are titrated in the presence of indicators which change under slightly alkaline conditions.
