What are acid bases and salts ? Write about five salts with their chemical equation of production . Also with three uses of each in our daily life .
Answers
Answer:
Acids tastes sour and have pH below 7
Bases have pH above 7 and are bitter
acid + base = salt + water (and emit heat)
Explanation:
for example
HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
HCl + KOH = KCl +H20
Acids and bases are usually used to neutralise the effect of each other...for example -1) when the soil is acidic or basic..the acids/ bases are added to neutralise it so that the plant could grow
2) When acid is formed in stomach ... Antacids are used to neutralise it in order to get relief from the pain.
An acid is defined as a substance whose water solution tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and neutralizes bases. A substance is called base if its aqueous solution tastes bitter, turns red litmus blue or neutralizes acids. Salt is a neutral substance whose aqueous solution does not affect litmus.
