 Sour in taste

 They have more reactive hydrogen ions

 Turns blue litmus red
 pH less then 7
 Vinegar
 Lemon juice
 Orange juice
 Curd
 Tamarind
 Amla
 Black tea
 Apple juice
 Unripe mango
 grapes
 curd, lemon juice, orange juice and vinegar
taste sour. These substances taste sour
because they contain acids. The chemical
nature of such substances is acidic. The
word acid comes from the Latin word acere
which mean sour. The acids in these
substances are nature acids.
 hydrochloric stomach acid
 sulfuric acid car
 acetic acid batteries
vinegar
 carbonic acid Sodas/ soft drink
 Formic acid ant’s sting
 Citric acid lemons, oranges etc.
 Lactic acid curd
 Oxalic acid spinach
 Ascorbic acid amla, citrus fruits
 Tartaric acid tamarind, grapes, unripe
mangoes, etc.
 Base bitter to taste
 Soapy to touch
 Water soluble base are called alkalis.
 All alkalis are bases but all bases are not
alkalis.
 Turns red litmus blue
 Ph greater then 7
 Detergent
 Baking soda
 Drain cleaner
 Antacid base
 Ammonia sops(hand, dish)
 Lime water
 Milk of magnesia
 baking soda taste sour? What is its taste?
Since, it does not taste sour it means, that it
has no acids in it. It is bitter in taste. If you
rub the solution between fingers, it feels
soapy on touching are know as base. The
nature of such substances is aid to be basic.
 sodium hydroxide - soaps, drain cleaner
 magnesium hydroxide - antacids
 Aluminum hydroxide - antacid, deodorants
 Calcium hydroxide - lime water
 Ammonium hydroxide - window cleaners
 Magnesium hydroxide - milk of
 ammonium hydroxide magnesia
- “ammonia” Common
base
 Weak base :
potassium carbonate,
sodium carbonate
ammonia
 Strong Bases:
sodium hydroxide;
sodium phosphate;
barium hydroxide;
calcium hydroxide
 Litmus (paper/solution)
 Turmeric
 China rose
 Phenolphthalein (ph)
 When an acidic solution is mixed with
a basic solution, both the solutions
neutralise the effect of each other.
the reaction between an acid and a base is
known as neutralisation. Salt and water are
produced in this process with the
evolution of heat.
Acid+ base salt+water (heat is evolved)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)+sodium hydroxide
(NaOH) sodium chloride (NaCl)+ water
(H2O)
