Answer 2

Very Good Question .

Our Kitchen is really a good Laboratory with different acids , bases and salts which we use in our daily life for various purpose.

Acids :

Acids are the substances  which are sour to taste and which turn blue litmus paper to red.

Acids on dissolving in water releases H+ Ions.

Acids are of two types:

1. Organic Acids
2. Mineral  Acids like H2SO4 , HNO3 , HCl Which we use in chemistry lab

Where as we use  Organic acids in our cooking like :

• Citric Acid --- present in citrus Fruits

• Tartaric Acid --- Present in Tamarind

• Vinegar --- Dilute Acetic acid

• Curd- lactic Acid

• Apple - Malic Acid

Bases :

Bases are the substances which release OH- ions in water.

Bases are bitter to taste and change red litmus paper to blue.

Strong bases like KOH, NaOH etc are used in  labs .

Uses of Bases in Daily Life:

• Tooth Paste which we use to brush our teeth and also at times to clean silver utensils.

• Ammonium Hydroxide - In cleaning glasses like Colin
• Magnesium Hydroxide-- As an atnacid
• Ammonia -- As cleaning agent
• NaoH---it is a major component in clearing clogging of drains or kitchen sinks.

• Baking Soda is a  as an Antacid
• Baking Powder is used in Baking industry

Salts used in Daily life in Kitchen :

• NaCl: Used in cooking for enhancing taste of Food.

• Bleaching powder used as a cleansing and as a disinfectant in water.

• Washing Soda is used in preparing soaps that we use in kitchen.
• Plaster of Paris is now a days used as false ceiling for the roofs in living room and kitchen also.
