Question

fill in the blanks.

main constituent of acid is..............
main constituents of alkaline is............
tartaric acid is a..........................acid

Answer 1

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Hydrogen ions ( H+ ions)

2. Hydroxyl ions (OH- ions)

3. Weak acid.

When an acid is electrolyzed, it forms positively charged hydrogen ions which is the key or main ingredient of every acid

Similarly when an alkali or a base is electrolyzed, the negative charged hydroxyl ions are the main constituents of the alkali.

Tartaric Acid (C4H4O6) is an organic acid, hence a weak acid.
