Question

Differentiate between acids, bases and salts.Give examples
​

Answer 1

acids furnishes H+ (Hydrogen) and H3O+ (hydronium) ions in an aqueous solution eq:- HCl , HNO3

bases furnish OH- (hydroxyl) ions in an aqueous solution eg:- NaOH, Ca(OH)2 etc

when a metal and a non metal react to form a solid compound, they are called salts

eg:- NaCl, BaCl. etc

hope it helps....

Answer 2

Acids:

Acids, with their large amount of hydrogen ions, have an acidic, or sour, taste. Vinegar and grapefruit juice are two harmless acids. Hydrochloric acid is much more dangerous and may cause severe burns.

Bases:

Bases, or alkaline solutions, have a greater number of negative hydroxide ions. They have a slippery feel, like soap does, and are also characterized by a bitter taste. The addition of a base will decrease the acidity of a solution.

Salts:

Salts and water are formed when an acid and base are combined and neutralized. The negative ions of the base and the acid form water and the positive ions form a salt compound.

1.Some examples of acids:

•Acetic Acid (CH3COOH)

•Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

•Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)

2.Some examples of bases:

•Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

•Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2)

•Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH)

3.Some examples of salts:

•Calcium Chloride (CaCl2)

•Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl)

•Potassium Ferrocyanate (K4(Fe(CN)6)
