Answer 1

$\huge\bold{HEY:)-}$

Common salts used in day to day life:

⇒Sodium Chloride (NaCl) - commonly known as table salt, sodium chloride, is used in seasoning food. It is also used in the making of soap and in the preservation of food.

⇒Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) - this is used in baking powder, fire extinguishers and in medicine as antacid. 

⇒Potassium Nitrate (KNO₃) - This salt is used as a fertilizer and in the making of glass and gun powder. 

⇒Other salts used as fertilzers include; ammonium phosphate and potassium chloride.

Common acids used in day to day life: 

⇒Acetic acid (CH3COOH), vinegar - vinegar is used in cooking, preserving food and in cleaning. 

⇒ Carbonic acid (H2CO3), soft drinks - carbonic acid is used in soft drinks as a preservative. 

⇒Sulphuric acid is used in car batteries.

⇒ Nitric acid is used in explosives and in the making of fertilizers.

 

Common bases and their uses:

⇒Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) - sodium hypoclorite is the common ingredient in the household bleach. 

⇒Sodium hydroxide (NaOH): This base is commonly used as oven, drain and lye cleaner

⇒Aluminum hydroxide (Al[OH]3): Aluminium hydroxide is an active ingredient in deodorants and antacids.

⇒Magnesium hydroxide (Mg[OH]2): This base is also used in antacids and as a laxative.

⇒Calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2) is used in  mortar, caustic lime and plaster.

⇒Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is used as a dish detergent

⇒Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is used as a glass cleaner.

⇒Sodium bicarbonate/sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3): This base is the active ingredient in baking powder.
