#5 Facts About Acids And Bases
1.Any aqueous (water-based) liquid can be classified as an acid, base or neutral. Oils and other non-aqueous liquids are not acids or bases.
2.Acids can accept an electron par or donate a hydrogen ion or a proton in a chemical reaction, while bases can donate an electron pair or accept hydrogen or a proton.
3.A strong acid or strong base completely dissociates into its ions in water. If the compound does not completely dissociate, it's a weak acid or base. How corrosive an acid or a base is does not relate to its strength
4.Acids and bases react with each other in water is called a neutralization reaction. The reaction produces salt and water and leaves the solution closer to a neutral pH than before.
5. PH of Acids is less than 7 while pH of bases is Greater than 7.
