These substances are called buffers.
hydrogen ions
Solutions containing these mixtures are called buffers.
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
bases neutralise the acids
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
acids and bases are important!
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.
Metabolic processes can add acids (such as lactic acid or ketones) or bases (such as bicarbonate) to the blood. The balance between these acids and bases is crucial for maintaining the body's pH within a normal range. Imbalances in these processes can lead to conditions like acidosis or alkalosis.
Acids taste bitter.
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
