    This document lists various bases and acids that can commonly be found at home. It identifies 10 bases including ammonia, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and calcium carbonate that are used in cleaning products, baking, and building materials. It also lists 5 acids found in foods and household items like vinegar, citrus fruits, milk, batteries, and drain cleaners. The document concludes by defining acids as hydrogen-containing substances that donate protons and bases as molecules that accept hydrogen ions from acids.

    Example of Bases that can be found at home

    1. Ammonia, NH3NH3 (fertilizer, cleaning agent)


    2. Sodium hydroxide, NaOH (cleaning agent, paper, pH regulator)
    3. Sodium carbonate, NaCO3NaCO3 (paper, glass, detergent, toothpaste)
    4. Sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3NaHCO3 (baking soda, fire extinguisher, toothpaste)
    5. Calcium hydroxide, or slaked lime, Ca(OH)2Ca(OH)2 (flocculant, paper)
    6. Calcium carbonate, CaCO3CaCO3 (limestone building, blackboard chalk)
    7. Calcium hypochlorite, Ca(ClO)2Ca(ClO)2 (sanitizer, disinfectant)
    8. Potassium hydroxide, KOH (alkaline batteries)
    9. Aluminium oxide, Al2O3Al2O3 (plastic, glass, paint)
    10. Hydrated iron (III) oxides, Fe2O3.nH2OFe2O3.nH2O (rust)

    Example of Acid that can be found at home


    1. Acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is found in vinegar as well as products that contain vinegar,
    such as ketchup.
    2. Citric acid (H3C6H5O7) is found in citrus fruits. It is also used in jams and jellies and
    to add a tangy flavor to other foods.
    3. Lactic acid (C3H6O3) is found in milk and other dairy products.
    4. Ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) is vitamin C. It is found in citrus fruits as well as some other
    fruits and juices.
    5. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is found in car batteries and some drain cleaners.

    An acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of


    donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance.
    A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an
    acid.
