This is not valid for all acids:
- nitric acid is HNO3
- hydrogen fluoride is HCl; only the solution is called hydrochloric acid.
It is a hydration reaction.
Yes and No. Acid release H plus into solution. and LOWER ph.
covalent bond
This is like asking: Are bananas better than bricks. There is no answer. Acids could be defined as substances that donate hydrogen ions but some acids like vinegar, tartaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid are all safe to eat whereas other acids are too vigorous at donating hydrogen ions and would cause severe burns if they touch our skin. The concentration of acid is also a factor. Dilute hydrochloric acid can be tolerated by our skin even though it is a strong acid. Bleaches are used as whitening agents or disinfectants. Bleach is usually sodium hypo chlorite, NaClO. It is a strong oxidising agent. It can also result in damage to the skin. Bleach plus acid produces a toxic gas, chlorine and bleach plus ammonia solutions (another cleaning agent) produces toxic chloramines. Even bleach plus urine can produce chloramines. Most household bleaches are less than 6%.
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, anything that donates H+ (or protons) atoms to a solution is an ACID. Hence this defines an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor.
It is a hydration reaction.
Acids release H+ in an aqueous solution.
it is like all matter, the temperature of acids can be anything. plus, acids have different ranges (pH value)
Yes. Bases neutralize acids in neutralization reaction. The word reaction is: Acid plus base makes water plus a salt. hope this helps alot. Goodluck ;)
Glycerol plus Fatty acid-monoglyceride plus water forms through condensation reaction a Triglyceride
Yes and No. Acid release H plus into solution. and LOWER ph.
A strong acid plus a strong base is an neutralization reaction as this is. NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O sodium hydroxide plus hydrochloric acid produces a salt and water.
Hydrogen gas plus metal halide (depends in the anion in the acid). It's going to be a single replacement reaction, so long as it's a strong acid.
HOH, which is water
So you can know how much acidity is in your stomach plus the acids can wear out your teeth
A word equation represent the reactions between metals and acids. The reaction for zinc and hydrochloric acid would be, zinc plus hydrochloric acid produces hydrogen plus zinc chloride.
