, Acid
A substance that releases hydrogen ions, a hydrogen iron is a proton.
Common Acids
Equation Symbols
Hydrochloric acid HCl
Nitric acid (HNO3)
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
Ethanoic acid (Ch3COOH)
Bases
They are substances that accept taking up H+(hydrogen ions/protons),
usually to make water.
Acid + base = salt + water
Bases Sometimes get call proton acceptors.
Alkali
It is a base that can dissolve in water.
Alkalis often have a hydroxide ion, OH
Common Bases and alkalis:
Sodium hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide
Ammonium hydroxide
Sodium hydrocarbonate (bicarbonate of soda, in baking powder)
Metal oxides and hydroxides
Both metal oxides and metal hydroxides can behave as bases.
