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?
Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, whereas bases release hydroxide ions (OH-). Acids tend to taste sour, while bases taste bitter or feel slippery. Acids turn litmus paper red, while bases turn it blue.
