Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: Acids: Acids form water solutions with excess hydrogen ions The pH (power of hydrogen) of acid solutions will be less than 7. Litmus turns red in acids. Strong acids, like hydrochloric acid, are good conductors of electricty. Weak acids, like acetic acid, are poor conductors. Bases: Bases form water solutions with excess hydroxide ions. The pH of basic solutions will be greater than 7. Litmus turns blue in basic solutions. Strong bases, like sodium hydroxide, hare solutions that are good conductors of electricity. Weak bases, like ammonium hydroxide, have solutions that are poor conductors. Water: Water is a liquid that has an equal amount of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. It has a pH of 7. Water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Litmus paper often will not show a definitive colo ...
