All acids have a fundamental H+ ion when in the aqueous state (dissolved in something). For example, HF can be split into the ions: H+ and F-.

Conversely, alkali's form the OH- ion when in the aqueous state.

Hence why when a neutralisation reaction takes place H+ + OH- --> H2O.

Do all metals liberate hydrogen gas from dilute acids?

No, not all metals liberate hydrogen gas from dilute acids. Only certain metals, such as magnesium, zinc, and iron, react with dilute acids to produce hydrogen gas. Other metals, like gold and silver, do not react with acids in the same way.

Do all liquids react with baking soda?

No, not all liquids will react with baking soda. Baking soda reacts with acidic substances to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and causes the mixture to expand. Liquids that are not acidic may not react with baking soda in this way.


Why is glass used in laboratory ware?

Why two samples of the same pure substance react the same way?

Because they are composed of the very same atoms. There is no difference between their composition, and hence there can be no difference in the way they react. Atoms of the same element have no personalities or individuality; they will always behave the same (given all other conditions are also equal).
