An acid is any chemical compound which when dissolved in water tends to release the H+ ion, and a base is any chemical compound which when dissolved in water tends to release the OH- ion.

How and why scientists use acids bases and alkalis in their labs?

Scientists use acids, bases, and alkalis in their labs for various purposes such as adjusting pH levels, catalyzing reactions, and extracting materials. Acids are used to lower pH, bases to raise pH, and alkalis are a subset of bases that are water-soluble and have a pH greater than 7. They are chosen based on their specific chemical properties to facilitate experiments and research.

Why statement describes an alternate theory of acids and bases?

The Why statement is a theory that suggests acids and bases react as a result of the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen. In this theory, acids donate protons due to the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen, while bases accept protons. This theory provides an explanation for the behavior of acids and bases in terms of electron movement.


Are salts made from bases?
