Any substance that in water solution that tastes sour, changes colour of certain indicators
Acid
Reddens blue litmus paper
Acid
Reacts with metals like Iron and reacts with bases to form salts
Acid
Promotes certain chemical reactions (Acid Catalysis)
Acid
Examples of Acids Inorganic
sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric and phosphoric acids
Examples of Acids Organic
carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, and phenol groups
Examples of Strong Acids and their Chemical Structures
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
Hydrobromic Acid (HBr)
Hydroiodic Acid (Hl)
Nitric Acid (HNO3)
Perchloric Acid (HClO4)
Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)
a substance that can neutralize
the acid by reacting with hydrogen ions
Base
are minerals that react with acids to form water and salts
Base
Base includes
oxides, hydroxides and carbonates of metals
The soluble bases are called
Alkalis
in chemistry, any substance that in water solution is slippery to the touch, tastes bitter, changes the color of indicators
Base
Turns blue litmus paper red
Base
reacts with acids to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions (base catalysis)
Base
Examples of bases
hydroxides of the alkali and alkaline earth metals (sodium, calcium, etc.) and the water solutions of ammonia or its organic derivatives (amines)
