Key Formulas
- pH = -log10[H⁺]
- pOH = -log10[OH⁻]
- pH + pOH = 14 (at 25°C)
- [H⁺] = 10-pH
- [OH⁻] = 10-pOH
- [H⁺] × [OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10-14 (at 25°C)
Safety Recommendations
Handling Acids and Bases
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and lab coat
- Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood when handling concentrated solutions
- Add acids to water, never water to concentrated acids (to prevent violent reactions)
- Know the location of safety showers and eye wash stations
Storage
- Store acids and bases separately in approved, chemically resistant containers
- Keep concentrated solutions in secondary containment to contain spills
- Label all containers clearly with contents, concentration, and hazard information
- Store at appropriate temperatures (some solutions may require refrigeration)
Neutralization Procedures
- For acid spills: use sodium bicarbonate or other weak base to neutralize
- For base spills: use a weak acid like citric acid or vinegar to neutralize
- Always neutralize small quantities at a time to prevent violent reactions
- Test pH after neutralization (aim for pH 6-8) before disposal
- Dispose of neutralized solutions according to local regulations
Emergency Procedures
- Skin contact: rinse immediately with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes
- Eye contact: rinse eyes at eyewash station for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open
- Inhalation: move to fresh air immediately, seek medical attention if breathing is difficult
- Ingestion: do NOT induce vomiting, rinse mouth with water, seek immediate medical attention
