What are acids and bases?
Answers
Answer:
Acids are those which produce H+ ions when dissolved in water.For example, HCl,NaCl,etc.
Bases are those which produce OH- ions when dissolved in water.For example,NaOH,KOH etc.
Answer:
ACIDS
An acid is a chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. Most acids contain a hydrogen atom bonded that can release (dissociate) to yield a cation and anion in water. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions produced by an acid, the higher its acidity and the lower the pH of the solution.
BASES
A base is a substance that reacts with an acid in an acid-base reaction.
The mechanism through which a base works has been argued throughout history. Generally, a base either accepts a proton, releases a hydroxide anion when dissolved in water, or donates an electron.
Examples of bases include hydroxides and soap.
