What do all acids and all bases have in common?

Here, All acids have similar chemical properties. All acids produce Hydrogen Gas on reacting with the metals. acids and bases produces ions in water. Acids release hydrogen ions (H+ ) and bases release hydroxide ions ( OH+ ).

 

Explanation:--

Let us take a solution of the glucose , alcohol , hydrochloride acid , sulphuric acid.

Take a cork and two nails are fixed into the cork and placed into the beaker

Connect the nails to the terminals of a 6 volt battery through a bulb and a switch.

Put the some dilute HCl in the beaker and switch on the current

Repeat the same with dilute sulphuric acid

Here we found that the bulb starts glowing in the case of the acids. But we observe that glucose and alcohol solutions do not conduct electricity. When the bulbs gets glowing it indicates that the there Is flow of the electricity through the solutions by ions.

 

Acids contains H+ ion as cation and anion such as Cl- in HCl , NO-3 in HNO3 , SO-4 , CH3COO- in CH3COOH.

Since the cation present in acids is H+ , this produces hydrogen ions by acids , H+  (aq).

 

All acids have in common

All acids have sour in taste

All acids have hydrogen in their chemical composition

All acids reacts with base

All acids reacts  with liquid and release hydrogen or hydronium ions

 

 

What happens to an acid or a base in a water solution ?

This is explained by the experiment:--

Let us take 1 gram solid NaCl in a clean and dry test tube and set up the apparatus.

Put some concentric sulphuric acid in to the test tube.

we observed that there is gas evolved from the test tube.

Here , this experiment suggests that hydrogen ions in HCl are produced in the presence of water.

 

HCl + H2O                 H3O+        +  Cl-

 

 

Hydrogen ions cannot exist alone, but they exist after combining with the water molecules. Thus hydrogen ions always be shown as H+ (aq) or hydronium ion (H3O+).

 

H2  +   H2O        H3O+

 

We see acids gives H3O+ or H+ (aq) ion in water.

 

Here, when base is dissolved in water

NaOH (s)     H2O       Na+ (aq)   + OH- (aq)

Mg(OH)2 (s)     H2O      Mg2+ (aq)  + 2OH- (aq)

 

Here, we found that bases generates hydroxide (OH-) ions in water.

Bases which are soluble in water are called alkalis.

Alkali are bases that dissolve in water.

Alkali are soapy to touch

Alkali are bitter

Alkali are corrosive

Alkali may cause harm so that avoid to taste or avoid to touch.

METAL And Chemical Properties of metals

  METAL Metal is a element that has metallic bond and have positive ions or cations. Metal is a lattice of positive ions that are surrounded by the cloud of the electrons. In the pure state, metal have a shining surface. This properties are called metallic luster . Here, metals are generally hard. Metals are malleable, because they can be hammered into thin sheets. This property is called as malleability . Metals are ductile it means they can be drawn into wires. The ability of the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called as ductility . For example:--   gold is most ductile metal. Due to the properties of the ductility and malleability, metals can be given in different shapes as per their needs. Metals are opaque Metals are lustrous elements that are good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are denser than the other substances. Metals are good conductor of heat. For example :-- silver and copper. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. ...

Food chains and webs, Tropic levels

Food chains and webs   Food chain is the sequence of organisms in which nutrients and energy is transferred in the form of food from one organism to another organisms. Food chain is the possible pathway in which nutrients and energy is transferred through an ecosystem. A food chain is the linear network of links in which a food web is starting from producers organisms and is ending at decomposers.   A food chain shows a series or organisms taking part at various biotic level. Each steps or levels of the food chain forms a tropic level . The tropic level of an organisms is the position it occupies in a food web. Organisms in food chain are grouped into categories are known as trophic levels. Tropic levels are divided into various levels:--   Producers:--                      The producers or the autotrophs are the first trophic level.   All green plant...

Eco system

                            Eco system   Eco system is a complex relationship among all organisms such as plants , animals , microorganisms and the human beings and the physical surroundings. And they interact with each other and maintain a balance in environment. An ecosystem is a biological community   of interacting organisms   and their physical environment with non-living organisms form an ecosystem. Thus, an eco system consists of biotic and abiotic components A biotic   component comprising all living organisms. A abiotic components comprising physical factors like temperature, rainfall, wind soil, minerals, etc.   A garden is an eco system In a garden, when we go to the garden, we see that there is different types of plants like as grasses, trees, flower plants like rose jasmine, etc and animals like frogs...
