What correctly describes the corrosive nature of strong acids and strong bases?
Strong acids and strong bases are both usually corrosive.
Is corrosive a acid or a base?
Both acids and bases can be corrosive/caustic.
How are acids and bases alike?
They are both corrosive to metals.
What is the lowest pH to the highest pH?
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
What is the difference between alkaline and caustic?
Alkaline means "having a pH between 7.1 and 14". Caustic means harsh, corrosive in some way. Both strong acids and strong bases are caustic.
What correctly describes the corrosive nature of strong acids and strong bases?
Strong acids and strong bases are both usually corrosive.
Why are acids and bases considered strong?
They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.
Why do we care if something is an acid or a base?
Strong acids and bases are corrosive and toxic.
What are often described as corrostive?
Strong acids and bases are often described as corrosive.
A chemical that in relatively small amounts produces injury when it comes in contact with skin tissue is known as?

Is acids and bases corrosives?
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Is corrosive a acid or a base?
Both acids and bases can be corrosive/caustic.
Why do you need to be very careful when dealing wth acids and bases?
Acids and bases are frequently corrosive and toxic.
How are acids and bases alike?
They are both corrosive to metals.
What is the lowest pH to the highest pH?
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
What do acid and bases have in common?
they both conduct electricity
Do both acids and bases have a pH higher than 7?
yes because acids are corrosive
