Chemistry: Acids and Bases

What is the pH range for acids?

• 2 to 5.99

• 0 to 6.99

• 1 to 7.99

• 0 to 8.99

Give an example of a strong acid.

• Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

• Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

• Nitric acid (HNO3)

• Acetic acid (CH3COOH)

Explain the concept of neutralization reaction.

• Neutralization reaction is a process where an acid reacts with a metal to form water and a salt.

• Neutralization reaction involves the combination of two acids resulting in the formation of water and a salt.

• Neutralization reaction occurs when a base reacts with a metal to produce water and a salt.

• Neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base, resulting in the formation of water and a salt.

What is the pH range for bases?

• pH range for bases is 0 to 7

• pH range for bases is 7 to 14

• pH range for bases is 8 to 14

• pH range for bases is 1 to 6

How are acids and bases different in terms of their chemical properties?

• Acids have a bitter taste, while bases have a sour taste.

• Acids release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water, while bases release hydrogen ions (H+) in water.

• Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in water, while bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water.

• Acids are always corrosive, while bases are not corrosive.
