Question

Write the name of some (at least 10) chemical compounds that you use in your day to day
life. Classify them as acids, bases and salts.

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

There are many chemical compounds that we use in our day-to-day life.

Acidic compounds in our daily life:

• Acetic acid (CH3COOH), sometimes known as vinegar, is a substance used in cooking, food preservation, and cleaning.
• Soft drinks, carbonic acid (H2CO3):
• Carbonic acid is a preservative used in soft drinks.
• In automobile batteries, sulfuric acid is employed.
• Both explosives and fertilizers are made with nitric acid.
• Tartaric acid is used in the production of soft drinks, to give food its sour flavor, and as an emetic (a substance to induce vomiting).

Basic compounds in our daily life:

• The sodium fluoride found in toothpaste, which we use most frequently, has a somewhat basic composition.
• To clean our bodies, we need soap, and the major component of soap is sodium hydroxide.
• Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a ubiquitous ingredient in our kitchens.
• The substances used as anti-acids or for neutralizing stomach acids include magnesium hydroxide.

Salts used in our daily life:

• Sodium chloride usually referred to as table salt, is the most widely used salt for flavoring and preserving food.
• Monosodium glutamate is a salt that is used to improve the flavor and savoriness of food.
• Sodium nitrate is a chemical that is frequently used in the production of fertilizers and explosives.
