differentiate between acidic and basic substances I will marks you as brainliest
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Acids
Acids are classified as:
Strong acids, such as nitric acid (HNO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) respectively.
Strong Lewis acids, such as AlCl3 (anhydrous aluminium chloride) and BF3 (boron trifluoride).
Concentrated weak acids, such as acetic acid (CH3COOH) and formic acid (CH2O2).
Lewis acids with specific reactivity, for example; solutions of ZnCl2 (zinc chloride).
Superacids, which are extremely strong acids.
Bases
Bases are classified as:
Alkalis or Caustics, such as NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and KOH (potassium hydroxide).
Concentrated weak bases, such as NH3 (ammonia) in a concentrated solution.
Alkali metals in metallic form, (i.e. elemental sodium), and hydrides of alkaline and alkali earth metals, i.e. NaH (sodium hydride), which function as a strong hydrate and bases to produce caustics.
Superbases, which are extremely strong bases, such as metal amides, alkoxides, (i.e. NaNH2 – sodium amide) and C4H9Li (butyllithium), which is an organometallic base.
