How can you identify an acid when analyzing a chemical equation?

• acid formulas have OH

• acid formulas begin with H cations

• acid formulas contain at least 1 hydrogen

• acid formulas end with OH

How can you identify a base when looking at the chemical formula?

• bases contain hydroxide ions

• bases contain hydrogen ions

• bases do not have ammonia

• bases have oxygen in their formula

How can you identify a salt when analyzing a chemical reaction?
