eAcharya・2 minutes read
The chapter discusses the properties of acids, bases, and salts, including indicators and reactions between substances like acid and metals or bases. Understanding these properties is vital for differentiating between acids, bases, and salts, as well as identifying and testing these substances using various indicators.
Insights
- Acids taste sour, turn blue litmus paper red, dissolve in water, and conduct electricity; examples include sulfuric acid and citric acid.
- Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, turn red litmus paper blue, and include strong bases like sodium hydroxide and weak bases like ammonium hydroxide; they react with acids in neutralization reactions to form salts and water.

What are the properties of acids, bases, and salts?
Acids taste sour, turn blue litmus paper red, dissolve in water, and conduct electricity. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, turn red litmus paper blue, and contain O minus ions in water. Salts are formed from the neutralization of acids and bases, producing water and a neutral solution.
How do indicators help identify acids and bases?
Indicators like litmus paper, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange change color in the presence of acids or bases. Natural indicators like red cabbage and turmeric, along with synthetic indicators, assist in determining the acidity or basicity of a solution.
What are some examples of strong acids and bases?
Strong acids include sulfuric acid and nitric acid, while strong bases consist of O minus ions in water, like sodium hydroxide. These substances exhibit high reactivity and are commonly used in various industrial processes.
How do acids and bases react with metals?
Acids react with metals to form salts and hydrogen gas, while bases also produce salts and hydrogen gas when reacting with metals. These reactions are essential in understanding the chemical properties of acids and bases in various applications.
Why is understanding the properties of acids and bases important?
Understanding the properties of acids and bases is crucial for differentiating between the two types of substances. It helps in identifying and categorizing various chemical compounds, determining their reactivity, and predicting their behavior in different chemical reactions.
