What ion is associated with an acid?
Hydrogen positive ion, H+ Acids are proton donors, releasing H+ ions. Alkalis and Bases release OH- (Hydroxide) ions.
Are hydrogen ions positive?
Yes, hydrogen ions are mainly positive. This occurs most in acids.
Why acids are useful?
Otherwise we would have nothing to neutralise alkalis with, the whole would be alkalis rather than acids and alkalis.
How do you differentiate between an acid and an alkali?
An acid has a pH level below 7, whilst an alkali has a pH level above 7. Acids contain H+ ions and alkalis consist of OH- ions. Acids turn litmus paper red, alkalis turn it blue. When acids react with metals they form hydrogen and a salt. Acids a sour to taste. Alakalis react with acids to form salt and water, a reaction called neutralisation. Alkalies feel soapy to touch. All alkalis except ammonia will react with ammonium compounds, driving ammonia out.
Are acids plus alkalis friends or foes?
The reaction between acids and alkalis is a neutralization reactin.

Do acids counteract alkalis?
Yes, acids neutralize alkalis and inverse.
Are hydrogen ions positive?
Yes, hydrogen ions are mainly positive. This occurs most in acids.

Household acids and alkalis?
households acids and alkalis is formic acid and syitric acid

Why are acids deacribed as corrosive?
acids are described corrosive because they have positive hydrogen ions which has the tendency to pull negatively charged ions.
Are alkalis and acids dangerous?
Acids and alkalis with a high pH (1 or 2 for acids and 14 or 15 for alkalis) can be dangerous, like hydrochloric acid which can cause damage to the skin if contact with the acid is made. Acids and alkalis with a low pH (5 for acids and 11 for alkalis) aren't dangerous, as vinegar is an acid with that pH and toothpaste is an alkali.
Does toothpaste contain acids or alkalis?
Most toothpastes contain alkalis , however some can contain acids.
What is the reaction between acids and acids?
acids and alkalis have no difference
Can alkalis be transported by road?
Yes alkalis and acids can be transported by road.
