Is it true that many of the uses of bases take advantage of their ability to react with acids?

Yes, many uses of bases involve their ability to react with acids to form salts and water. Bases are often used in neutralization reactions to control pH levels, in the production of soaps and detergents, and in industries such as wastewater treatment.


Are carboxyl acids fatty acids?

Yes, carboxylic acids may be considered fatty acids if they have a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end. Fatty acids are typically carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains found in fats and oils.


How long does gold take to decompose?

It doesn't. !!!! It is a very inert metal. Because of this lack of reactivity it is found 'native' as 'nuggets'. It can be forced to react with 'Aqua Regia' a mixturte of hydrochloric & nitric acids.


What is the pH of alchohol?

I don't know the exact answer but take it like this... Carboxilic acids are around 500 times stronger than phenol and have a pH of ~ 3-4, and they will react with any base. Phenol is 1000 times stronger than alcohols and has a pH around 5.5 and will not react with carbonates but will with group 1 metals and group 1 metal hydroxides. On that bases I would assume alcohols would have a pH around 6.4, I do know they don't react with hydroxides or carbonates but will react with group 1 metals. However it does depend on the alcohol most alcohols will not even react with lithium (ethanol is the only one), as the alcohols get longer the less reactive they become, very long chain alcohols may only react with caesium or not at all.


Why does gold not react with hydrochloric acid?

At the moment, I am not sure why. I did this experiment and no reaction seemed to take place; there was no noticeable change. I have been doing research and everyone says that it does react, but I have no clue.

What happens when acids react with compounds of carbonates?

When acids react with carbonates, carbon dioxide is produced. You can test this by waiting for the chemical reaction to take place and then using a bung to insert the gas into lime water!

How long does it take for a aluminium can to degrade?

Aluminum is not biodegradable. and will last forever. Over a very longtime it may react chemically with other substances, similar to metal rusting, but the can will still be there in some form or shape.
