Firstly, it is a fact that dissociation and dissolving are two different chemical properties.

An acid or base which dissolves well in water may not dissociate into ions perfectly, acetic acid and ammonia are the most frequent examples.

On the other hand, there are acids and bases which dissociate well but not perfectly dissolving. Oxalic acid and barium hydroxide can be given as examples in this instance.

Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?

They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.


What type of compounds can be electrolysed?

Any compound which can disassociate into ions in solution is an electrolyte. These are most commonly water soluble salts, acids, and bases.


Identify weak and strong acids and bases?

Identifying Weak acids and bases depend on: When The Elements of these acids react they completely ionise with water and form Strong salts without being in the oh- situation, then its a strong Acid.


Why do acid and bases neutralise each other?

Acids are generally compounds with hydrogen that disassociate when placed in water (such as HCl or chloric acid). Bases, on the other hand, are compounds with metals and OH compounds (such as NaOH). When the two come together the hydrogen from the acid and the OH from the base combine to form water.


What else does acids react to form bases besides water?

Acids reacts with bases to form a salt and water.


When dissolved in water acids release and bases release?

acids release hydrogen ions bases release hydroxide ions


Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?

Acids.


Is a lactic acid a strong acid?

A strong acid is defined as one which disassociates completely in water. Lactic acid does not completely disassociate in water, therefore it is catagorized as a weak acid.


What happens when a weak electrolyte dissolves in water?

They do not completely dissociate in water


How are they different in terms of pH level taste and how it dissolves in water?

acids are low pH and taste sour. bases are high in pH and taste bitter. both dissolve in water, some completely dissociating, while some do not. strong acids completely dissociate into ions, like sulphuric acid. acetic acid does not dissociate in water, and so is a weak acid. bases can be this way also.


When dissolved in water are acids release or are bases release?

acids are released


What ions are produced by acids in water and bases in water Give two properties each of acids and bases?

Hydronium (H3O+) for acids and hydroxide (OH-) for bases. Acids: pH less than seven, have a sour taste Bases: pH > 7, slippery, bitter taste
