difference between acid base and salt. 3marks
Answers
Acid contains a huge amount of ions and sour in taste.
The two harmless acids are vinegar and grapefruit juice.
Bases contain a huge amount of negative ions. They are of bitter taste and are very slippery.
Salt is formed when acid and base both are mixed together and are neutralized.
The negative ions form water whereas the positive ions form salt.
However, both acids and bases are corrosive in nature, and laboratory acids and bases can harm the skin and also metals.
Answer:
it is explained using two main theories..
Explanation:
1)Lewis acid base theory:
*according to this theory electron pair donor is called as lewisbase.
eg:NH3, here ammonia has an extra pair of electron hence it donates that electron pair to BF3.
*electron pair acceptor is called as lewis acid.
eg:BF3 has vacant orbital hence it has a great tendency to accept the electron pair donated by NH3.
2)Bronsted acid base theory:
acid: proton(H+) donor is called as bronsted acid. or simply acid
Base: proton acceptor is called a base.
salt: acid + base= salt
eg: HCl +NaOH = NaCl
here HCl is an acid and NaOH is a base which on dissolution gives A salt I.e NaCl.
