what examples can u give me
These lists are from the website linked above.
Examples of Acids
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) in gastric juice
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4)
Nitric acid (HNO3)
Carbonic acid in softdrink (H2CO3)
Uric acid in urine
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in fruit
Citric acid in oranges and lemons
Acetic acid in vinegar
Tannic acid (in tea and wine)
Tartaric acid (in grapes)
Examples of Bases and Alkalis
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or caustic soda
Calcium hydroxide ( Ca(OH)2 ) or limewater
Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) or ammonia water
Magnesium hydroxide ( Mg(OH)2 ) or milk of magnesia
Many bleaches, soaps, toothpastes and cleaning agents
Certainly! Acids and alkalis are two types of substances that have distinct properties. Examples of acids include:
1. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) - Found in our stomach and aids in digestion.
2. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) - Used in car batteries and industrial processes.
3. Citric acid - Found in fruits such as lemons and oranges.
4. Acetic acid (vinegar) - Used in cooking.
Examples of alkalis include:
1. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) - Commonly known as caustic soda, used in soap making.
2. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) - Found in cleaning products and fertilizers.
3. Ammonia (NH3) - A gas that dissolves in water to form ammonium hydroxide.
4. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) - Used in cooking and as a household cleaner.
To identify acids and alkalis, you can perform simple experiments. Acids typically taste sour, react with metals to produce hydrogen gas, and turn blue litmus paper red. On the other hand, alkalis taste bitter, feel soapy and slippery, and turn red litmus paper blue.
Note: When working with strong acids or alkalis, proper safety precautions such as wearing gloves and eye protection should always be followed.
