Acids Bases Salts?

Acids are compounds that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, bases are substances that release hydroxide ions in water, and salts are compounds formed by the reaction between an acid and a base. Acids have a pH less than 7, bases have a pH greater than 7, and salts are formed through a neutralization reaction.


Which one is dangerous between acids and bases?

It depends upon nature of acid or base generally Sulphuric acid is more dangerous than bases, but caustic soda (solid sodium hydroxide) is more dangerous than many acids as Hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid and many other organic acids.


How do the characteristic of bases differ form those of acids?

Bases tend to recieve an H+ ion in a titration, and acids tend to give an H+ ion in a titration. Bases have a pH greater than 7 and acids have a pH less than 7.


What are pH ranges for Acids and Bases?

The pH ranges for acids and bases are 1-14, Acids ranging between 0-6 (less than 7) and bases ranging from 8-14 (more than 7). Then, obviously, 7 are neutral.


Is PH3 is stronger than NH3?

PH3 (phosphine) is considered to be a weaker base compared to NH3 (ammonia) because the electronegativity of phosphorus is greater than nitrogen, making the lone pair on phosphorus less available for donation. This results in NH3 being a stronger base than PH3.


What determines the strength of acids and bases?

The strength of acids and bases is determined by their ability to donate or accept protons (H+ ions). Strong acids readily donate protons, while strong bases readily accept protons. Weak acids and bases have less tendency to donate or accept protons, respectively. Additionally, the stability of the resulting conjugate base or acid also affects the strength of acids and bases.


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

Acids in water produce hydrogen (H+) ions, while bases in water produce hydroxide (OH-) ions. Two properties of acids are that they taste sour and can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas. Two properties of bases are that they taste bitter and feel slippery to the touch.


What is the pH rangr for acids bases?

The pH range for acids is 0-6.9, with lower numbers indicating stronger acidity. The pH range for bases is 7.1-14, with higher numbers indicating stronger basicity. A pH of 7 is considered neutral.


What properties do acids and bases have?

Acids generally taste sour, conduct electricity, turn blue litmus paper red, and have a pH less than 7. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, conduct electricity, turn red litmus paper blue, and have a pH greater than 7.


How do acids differ from basis?

Acids have a pH level below 7 while bases have a pH above 7. The chemical difference between acids and bases in the hydrogen ion concentration[H+]. Acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions while bases have a higher hydroxide ion concentration[OH-]


When acids and bases are mixed they what each other?

Acids have a pH from 7 to 0 and bases have a pH for 7-14. Water is neutral with a pH of 7. If an equal strength acid and base are mixed together they cancel each out out.


How can acids be distinguished from from bases?

Acids are with a pH of less than 7, and bases are when something has a pH of more than 7. Basic solutions are such because of the Hydroxide Ion concentration ([OH-]) and acids are such due to the hydrogen ion concentration (Hydronium Ion) which is [H3O+] or you may see it as just [H+].
