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.
⇒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.
