Question

differentiate between basis and acid on the basis of
1 .blue Litmus .
2.red litmus .
3.reaction with metal oxide.
4.reaction with metal carbonate .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi there!!

Acid:

turns blue litmus red

remains red in red litmus paper

gives salt and water after reacting with metal oxide because metal oxide is basic in nature

gives salt+CO2+water with metal carbonate

Base:

remains blue with blue litmus

turns blue with red litmus

no reaction with metal oxide since both are basic in nature.

no reaction with metal carbonate as well.

Hope this answer can help you!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Acid changes blue litmus red while base changes red litmus blue

Acid gives salt and water on reaction with metal oxide while bases may or may not give salt.

(Sometimes it gives hydroxides with metals)

Acid on reaction with metal liberates Carbon dioxide gas while bases may form Carbonates of salts.
