An acid contain the ion H+ or (COOH)+ and a base contain the ion (OH)-.
Depending on the type of acid/base (Arrhenius, Bronsted, Lewis), the acid donates protons and a base doesn't but accepts protons, or the base donates OH- and the acid doesn't, or the acid accepts a pair of electrons and the base donates a pair of electrons. They are just different, that's why.
Al(OH)3 is a base (Aluminum hyroxide)
In the titration of oxalic acid with NaOH, the acid-base reaction involves the neutralization of the acid by the base. However, in the titration of oxalic acid with potassium permanganate, the permanganate ion oxidizes the oxalic acid to carbon dioxide. This difference in reaction mechanisms leads to different equivalence points and color changes in the two titrations.
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
Yes, sodium lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid. When lactic acid (a weak acid) donates a proton (H⁺), it forms lactate, which is the conjugate base. Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactate, meaning it contains the lactate ion paired with sodium. Thus, it can act as a source of lactate in solution.
It is amphoteric, meaning that it is both an acid and a base in different situations.
because an acid and a base make a neutral.
Canola oil is neutral, meaning it is neither a base nor an acid.
An acid solution has a pH under 7.A base solution has a pH over 7.
It's an amphoteric oxid, which means it is neither acid nor base.
Arginine is a basic amino acid, meaning it tends to donate a proton and accept an electron pair in chemical reactions.
Sodium bicarbonate is generally considered a base. Technically, however, it is an amphoteric substance, meaning it can act as both an acid an a base.
No, wine contains many different types of acid such as malic acid and tannic acid.
It is generally regarded as a base (alkali) but technically it is amphoteric, meaning it can act as either an acid or a base depending on the chemical scenario.
The oxides of tin are amphoteric in nature as SnO, with acid it behaves like a base and with a base like an acid.
Sodium hypochlorite is a base. It is the conjugate base of the acid hypochrous acid. Meaning, it's the product when hypochlorous acid, HClO, reacts with a base, such as NaOH. The conjugate base of a weak acid is generally a strong base, as in this case. Sodium hypochlorite is the main ingredient in bleach, a strong base.
Chloroacetic acid is a weak acid. Its dissociation in water is incomplete, meaning it does not completely ionize into H+ ions and its conjugate base.
