Question

name some properties and uses of acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

An acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance. A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an acid.

Acidic substances are usually identified by their sour taste. An acid is basically a molecule which can donate an H+ ion and can remain energetically favourable after a loss of H+. Acids are known to turn blue litmus red.

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of Acids

1. Acids are corrosive in nature.

2. They are good conductors of electricity.

3. Their pH values are always less than 7.

4. When reacted with metals, these substances produce hydrogen gas.

5. Acids are sour-tasting substances.

Examples: Sulfuric acid [H2SO4], Hydrochloric acid [HCl], Acetic acid [CH3COOH].

Uses of Acids.

Uses of acids include: benzoic acid(salt used to preserve food), carbonic acid(used to make carbonated drinks), ethanoic acid(used to clean metals before electroplating/processing leather/household cleaning/ maintenance of swimming pools), nitric acid(used in the production of fertilizers, explosives, dissolution of metals-extractiona and purification of gold), sulphuric acid(to make fertilizers, polymer, and detergent), and tartaric acid(manufacturing of sodas, gives tartness flavor to food, and used as a emetic- substance to make someone vomit).

Answer 2

Properties of acids : Acids taste sour. They turn red litmus blue. Acids have tendency of damaging the surface in which they come in contact with including most metals. Precautions should be taken while handling acids : Never add water to acid. Slowly add acid to water. Constantly stir the solution. Acids have ph value less than 7 in the ph scale.
