domestic,commercial, environment  or public facilities. 
      Some cleaning methods are washing, dusting,sweeping  etc. 
a)Washing Clothes: 
i)Cleaning spots from Clothes: Here we need benzene and to  
scrup the clothes thoroughly.  
ii)Removing blood stains from Clothes: Here we need a thick  
paste of starch, water and soft brush. 
iii)To remove grease from Clothes: Here, we need rain water  
ammonia, salt, shaving soap, cotton or blotting paper and to 
scrub the clothes thoroughly.  
2)Fishing: This is the practice of catching fish for food,trade, 
recreation or their products.  
       Fishing may also include catching aquatic animals other than 
Fish such as molluscs, cephalopods, crustaceans and echinoderms. 
     NB: The act of raising a particular fish species is called fish 
Hatchery such as crabs,tilapia,cat fish etc. 
     Fish farming offers a great solution to the increasing demand  
For fish in the market and proteins to man. 
      Some techniques of fishing are hand gathering,spearing, 
netting, angling and trapping.  
3)Hunting: This is the practice of pursuing any living organism 
(mostly wild animals) by humans for food, recreation or trade. 
       NB: Some animals also hunt other animals. This is known as  
Predation. 
   During hunting, some destructive animals  and insects are  
eliminated . 
      Some techniques of hunting are traping, tracking, calling, 
 blind hunting, carmouflage, beating, glassing, use of dogs etc. 
4)Harvesting:  This is the act of removing matured crops from  
Where they are planted or cultivated. 
        Crops harvested can be grains like rice, nuts, maize, wheats 
etc, plantains, tubers such as yams, cocoyams,etc...cotton, coffee 
Cocoa, etc. 
         The techniques of harvesting depends on the type of crop. 
eg: Fruits are eaten fresh and harvested by the hands and for  
fruits which are preserved, machines are used in harvesting.  
      In general, harvesting is mostly done by the hands.

LESSON NO 11

  • Form One:
    TOPIC:Acids, Bases and Indicators
    An acid may be defined as a substance that turns litmus red.
    A base may be defined as a substance that turns litmus blue.
    An indicator is a substance that shows whether another substance is a base/alkaline,acid or neutral

    Acids
    There are some common and naturally occurring acids as shown in the table below
    Naturally Occuring Acids - Chemistry Form One

    However, acids commonly used and found in a school laboratory are not naturally occurring
    They are mineral acids as illustrated below
    Naturally Occuring Acids - Chemistry Form One

    Mineral acids are manufactured to very high concentration.
    They are corrosive (causes painful wounds on contact with the skin) and attack/reacts with garments/clothes/metals.
    In a school laboratory, they are mainly used when added a lot of water.
    This is called diluting. Diluting ensures the concentration of the acid is safely low.
    Bases
    Bases are opposite of acids.
    Most bases do not dissolve in water.
    Bases which dissolve in water are called alkalis.
    Some common alkalis and their uses include;

    Common Bases - Chemistry Form One

    Indicators
    An acid-base indicator is a substance used to identify whether another substance is alkaline or acidic.
    An acid-base indicator works by changing to different colors in neutral, acidic and alkaline solutions/dissolved in water.
    In an experiment to test whether solutions are acidic or alkaline, a simple acid-base indicator made of flower extracts would return the following results;
    Indicator Results - Chemistry Form One

    Solutions of the same nature show similar changes.

    Common indicators are used in school laboratories. They are cheap, readily available and easy to store. Common indicators include: Litmus, phenolphthalein, methyl orange, screened methyl orange, bromothymol blue.

    The following table shows different reults when indicators are used to test dofferent solutions
    Different Indicators in Different Solutions - Chemistry Form One

    The following table shows the changes shown by indicators in different types of solution.
    Different Indicators in Different Solutions - Chemistry Form One

    The Universal Indicator
    Universal indicator is a mixture of other indicator dyes. The indicator uses the pH scale that shows the strength of bases and acids in a range of 1-14 as follows

    (i) pH values 1, 2, 3 shows a substance is a strongly acid
    (ii) pH values 4, 5, 6 shows a substance is a weakly acid
    (iii) pH value 7 shows a substance is a neutral
    (iv) pH values 8, 9, 10, 11 shows a substance is a weak base/alkali.
    (v) pH values 12, 13, 14 shows a substance is a strong base/alkali

    The universal indicator is available as: universal indicator paper/pH paper and universal indicator solution.

    When determining the pH of a unknown solution using pH paper, the pH paper is dipped into the unknown solution. It changes/turn to a certain colour. The new colour is marched/compared to its corresponding one on the pH chart to get the pH value.

    When determining the pH of a unknown solution using universal indicator solution, about 3 drops of the universal indicator solution is added into about 5cm3 of the unknown solution in a test tube. It changes/turn to a certain colour. The new colour is marched/compared to its corresponding one on the pH chart to get the pH value.

    Important notes
    1. All the mineral acids Hydrochloric, sulphuric (VI) and nitric (V) acids are strong acids
    2. Two alkalis/soluble bases, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are strong bases/alkali. Ammonia solution is a weak base/alkali. All other bases are weakly alkaline.
    3. Pure/deionized water is a neutral solution.
    4. Common salt/sodium chloride is a neutral salt.
    5. When an acid and an alkali/base are mixed, the final product has pH 7 and is neutral.

    Properties of Acids
    Physical Properties of Acids
    1. Acids have a characteristic sour taste
    2. Most acids are colourless liquids
    3. Mineral acids are odorless. Organic acids have characteristic smell
    4. All acids have pH less than 7
    5. All acids turn blue litmus paper red, methyl orange red and phenolphthalein colourless.
    6. All acids dissolve in water to form an acidic solution.
    7. Most do not dissolve in organic solvents like propanone, kerosene, tetrachloromethane, petrol.
    Chemical Properties of Acids
    1. All acids react with reactive metals to form a salt and produce /evolve hydrogen gas.
    Metal + Acid ------> Salt + Hydrogen gas
