differentiate between: Acids and bases.
Answers
Hello dear ❤❤ Good Evening
Acid
An acid is a molecule or substance that has a pH value less than 7.0 when it is present in an aqueous solution. An aqueous solution is any solution where water is a solvent. Acids are termed as compounds that donate H+ (hydrogen ion) to another compound known as . base....
Base
A base (alkaline) is a molecule or substance that has a pH value higher than 7.0 when present in an aqueous solution. Bases are the exact chemical opposite of acids. In chemistry. They are substances that, in aqueous solution, release hydroxide (OH−) ions.
DETAILED ANSWER
_______________________________
What are acids?
a substance with particular chemical properties including turning litmus red, neutralizing alkalis, and dissolving some metals; typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind.
a molecule or other species which can donate a proton or accept an electron pair in reactions.
________________________________
What are bases?
Arrhenius proposed in 1884 that a base is a substance which dissociates in aqueous solution to form hydroxide ions OH-. A soluble base is called an alkali if it contains and releases OH− ions quantitatively. Metal oxides, hydroxides, and especially alkoxides are basic, and conjugate bases of weak acids are weak bases.
