What else can I help you with?
Are acids and bases are conductors of electricity they are referred to as what?
Not necessarily. Acid is just used for very important research and experiments. And bases are used for bases. Sorry if I'm not helpful. :(
What name do you give to the substance which can be used to cancel out an acid?
A substance that can be used to cancel out an acid is called a base. Bases neutralize acids by accepting hydrogen ions to form water and a salt. Some common examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
When the solid acid dissolves to form ions how many moles of H plus ions are produced for every mole of acid used?
It depends on the acid being used. For monoprotic acids, like HCl or HNO3, one mole of acid produces one mole of H+ ions. For diprotic acids, like H2SO4, one mole of acid produces two moles of H+ ions.
How many different nitrogenous bases are found in nucleic acids?
There are four different nitrogenous bases found in nucleic acids: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) in DNA, and adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) in RNA.
What is the difference between an acid and a base?
Properties of acids: React with most metals to form hydrogen gas, taste sour (like lemons), frequently feel "sticky", and usually are gases or liquids.Properties of bases: Feel "slippery". The slippery feeling is caused because your skin dissolves a little when you touch them, taste bitter (like baking soda), React with oils and greases( that's why they're used as drain and window cleaners), frequently solids ( though ammonia is a gas that's usually dissolved in water.)An acid has the pH under 7 and contain the cation H+; a base has a pH greater than 7 and contain the anion OH-. For example: a base is something bitter and forms hydroxide ions in solution. Something like soap, toothpaste, and drano. Another example: an acid is something sour and corrosive and forms hydrogen ions in a solution. Something like lemon juice, sour candy and anything like that.
1 you expect the hydroxides of metal ions to be soluble in acids What term is used when they are soluble in bases as well?
Amphoteric
Compare the properties of acids with the properties of bases?
Acids are used in many fields of industry and in homes.The sulfuric acid is used to make many products,paper,paints,etc. Like acids,bases have many uses.Sodium hydroxide is a base used to make soap and paper.
What is the significance of acid and bases in your industry?
Acids and bases are chemical substances that release ions when dissolved in water. Acids are compounds that release positive hydrogen ions in water. Bases release hydroxide ions, which are compounds made of an oxygen and a hydrogen. Acids and bases are used around the house for cleaning, but the levels of acids and bases in the body are also important. The body needs a neutral pH and controls the amounts of acids and bases through processes involving the kidneys, lungs and blood. Acids and bases are found in foods, the environment and in chemicals including pharmaceuticals. The pH levels in the blood are required to stay neutral, which is at a level of 7. When a dieter eats acidic foods, the body uses a buffering system to neutralize the positive ions released from the acids. Conversely, bases are also controlled to keep the body from becoming too alkaline.
What is solutions with ions that react with acids or bases to lessen their effects are fubrefs?
Buffer solutions are solutions containing ions that react with acids or bases to minimize changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. They are used to maintain a stable pH in various chemical reactions and biological systems.
What happens in a solution where an acid or base is dissolve?
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+) that combine with water to form the hydronium ion (H3O+) and bases form hydroxide ions (OH-). To be exact: a hydrogen ion is an atom of hydrogen that has lost its electron. An acid is any substance that forms hydrogen ions in water. the hydroxide ion is polyatomic, made of oxygenand hydrogen. A base is any substance that forms hydroxide ions in water. The component ions of strong acids and bases completely dissociate.
In water bases form what?
I am not sure that the word "form" is best used here. Bases add or contribute to an increase in hydroxide ions in solution with water.
What is used for pickling. Acids or bases?
Acids eg vinegar
Is the term alkaline used as a synonym for bases or acids?
bases
How can acids and bases be useful?
Acids and bases are useful in various applications. Acids are used in industries like food preservation and cleaning products, whereas bases are used in household cleaners and wastewater treatment. They also play a role in healthcare, as acids are used in medications and bases are used in antacids to treat digestive issues.
Where do acids and bases have uses?
Acids and Bases are used in basically everything. All cleaners are usually bases or weak acids, that help remove stains, by reacting with the substance. Some weak acids and bases are used in foods, for example vinegar is a base and citric acid (From lemons etc). is obviously an acid. Please respond if this did not fully help you understand acids and bases uses.
Do buffers react to acids and bases to keep pH in a?
Yes, buffers can react with both acids and bases to help maintain a relatively stable pH. When an acid is added, the buffer will react by absorbing the excess H+ ions; when a base is added, the buffer will react by absorbing the excess OH- ions. This helps minimize changes in pH.
What is true of an arrhenius?
An Arrhenius base produces OH- ions.
