Acids, bases & salt

By : Rajiv agarwal
What are acids ?

• Acids - Any of various water-soluble compounds


having a sour taste and capable of turning litmus
red and reacting with a base to form a salt.
• Bases - Bases feel slippery, change litmus blue,
and become less basic when mixed with acids.
• Alkali - An alkali is a substance, usually a liquid,
that is rated higher than 7 on the pH scale. It is
also known as a base.
Formula
Acids produce H+ in aqueous solutions
water
HCl H+(Aq) + Cl- (Aq)

Bases produce OH- in aqueous solutions


water
NaOH Na+(Aq) + OH- (Aq)
Some fruits that have acids
• Oranges
• Pineapples
• Sour apples
• Lemons
• Grapefruits
• Sourpeaches
• Sour grapes
• Tomatoes
What is ph scale ?
• A figure expressing the acidity or
alkalinity of a solution on a
logarithmic scale on which 7 is
neutral, lower values are more acid,
and higher values more alkaline.
What happens when acids react with base?

• When an acid and a base are placed


together, they react to neutralize the acid
and base properties, producing a salt. The
H(+) caution of the acid combines with the
OH(-) anion of the base to form water.
