Answer:
Explain the difference between acid and alkali.
Explanation:
Alkaline is a solution that has pH values above 7. Alkaline solutions are bitter tasting and feel slippery when touched. An alkaline solution is formed when an alkali is dissolved in water. Alkali refers to any basic hydroxide or a salt of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.
An acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating a hydron (proton or hydrogen ion H+), or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid). The first category of acids is the proton donors or Brønsted acids.
Answer:
An acid is a substance that has a pH lower than 7. For example, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, citric acid, ethanoic acid (vinegar). A base is a substance that neutralises an acid – those that dissolve in water are called alkalis. An alkali is a soluble substance with a pH higher than 7.
