what is difference between acid base and salt 10 difference
Answers
Answer:
Salt is formed when acid and base both are mixed together and are neutralized. The negative ions form water whereas the positive ions form salt. However, both acids and bases are corrosive in nature, and laboratory acids and bases can harm the skin and also metals.
Answer:
Acids are substances that dissociate into H+ ions when you dissolve them in water. They have a higher concentration of H+ ions than OH- ions and in the pH scale, they range between 1 or more than 1 but lesser than 7. They turn blue litmus red.
Bases are usually oxides or hydroxides. They dissociate into OH- ions when you dissolve them in water. They have a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. They range from more than 7 to 14 or lesser than 14 in the pH scale. Soluble bases are termed as alkalis. Alkalis turn red litmus blue.
Salts for eg neutral ionic salts like Sodium chloride for instance are neutral and their pH range is around 7, equal concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions. They are neutral because their chemical formula (charges) balance.
