Anions of acids are (at least) basic

(eg. CH3COO- + H+ --> CH3COOH)

but some anions are amphoteric, so partially acidic and partially basic

(eg. acidic: HS- --> S2- + H+ ,

and basic: HS- + H+ --> H2S)

How do you know if ions are acidic or basic?

In general, cations of Group 1 and Group 2 elements, transition metals, and NH4+ are acidic in nature. Anions of strong acids (Cl-, Br-, I-, NO3-, ClO4-, ClO3-, ClO2-) are basic. Anions of weak acids (e.g., CH3COO-, HCO3-, H2PO4-) are generally acidic.


How are pH indicators classified?

pH indicators are classified based on the pH range over which they change color. They can be classified as either acidic, basic, or universal indicators. Acidic indicators change color in acidic solutions, basic indicators change color in basic solutions, and universal indicators change color over a wide pH range.

Are household substances classified as acidic basic or neutral?

Household substances can be classified as acidic, basic, or neutral based on their pH level. Substances with a pH less than 7 are acidic, those with a pH greater than 7 are basic, and those with a pH of 7 are neutral. Examples of acidic household substances include vinegar and lemon juice, while ammonia and baking soda are examples of basic household substances. Water is an example of a neutral household substance.


Are all oxides acidic?

No, not all oxides are acidic. Oxides can be classified as acidic, basic, or amphoteric depending on their chemical properties. Acidic oxides react with water to form an acidic solution, basic oxides react with water to form a basic solution, and amphoteric oxides can act as either an acid or a base depending on the conditions.


Classification of oxides?

Oxides can be classified into acidic, basic, amphoteric, or neutral based on their chemical reactivity with water. Acidic oxides react with water to form acids, basic oxides react to form bases, amphoteric oxides can act as both acids and bases, while neutral oxides do not react with water to form either acids or bases.
