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+].
What else can I help you with?
Do bases tastes bitter or acids?
Acids taste bitter.
Why are bases sometimes describes as the opposite of acids?
Bases are the opposite of acids due to the fact they are a hydrogen ion acceptor and an acid is a hydrogen ion donor. In the many definitions of bases and acids, bases do the opposite of what acids do. -- In the Lewis definition, acids are electron pair acceptors while bases are electron pair donors. -- In the Bronsted-Lowry definition, acids are substances that donate protons while bases are substances that accepts protons. -- In practicality, acids lower the pH of a solution and bases increase the pH of a solution.
What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?
A chemical compound that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases is called a buffer. Buffers help to stabilize the pH of a solution by absorbing excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions, thereby minimizing changes in pH when strong acids or bases are added.
What is a creative name for a title relating to acids and bases?
"Polarity Portraits: The Dance of Acids and Bases"
Why acids and alkalines are equal?
Acids and bases are not equal; they are opposites on the pH scale. Acids have a pH below 7, while alkalines (bases) have a pH above 7. Acids donate hydrogen ions, while bases accept them.
Is acids and bases corrosives?
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
What can acids and bases do alone or together?
bases neutralise the acids
Do acids and bases in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
Nucleic acids can be distinguished from proteins by?
Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.The five nucleic acids are:3 pyrimidine bases: Cytosine and Thymine (or Uracil in RNA) next to2 purine bases: Adenine and Guanine. None of them contains an amino group which is essential in protein formation of amino acids.Proteins are built of the building blocks called amino acids. (there are about twenty different amino acids)
Do acids and bases exist in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
Why acids and bases are important to everyday life?
acids and bases are important!
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
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.
Do bases tastes bitter or acids?
Acids taste bitter.
How can you tell acids from bases?
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
What ions are used to group acids and bases?
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
How do acids respond to bases?
The reaction between bases and acids is a neutralization reaction.
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.
