However, a and a base’s hydroxide ions (OH–) increase when it is dissolved in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, it finally reached saturation. Even after adding more base, the concentration of hydroxide (OH–) ions remains unaffected after the saturation point.

A constant quantity of hydronium ( H3O+) will be present in a fixed volume of the solution when acid is added to water. Hydronium ( H3O+) concentration in the solution drops as a result of dilution because fewer hydronium ions (H3O+)are present per volume of the solution.

When diluting an acid, it is recommended to add the acid to water rather than the water to the acid because if the water is added to a concentrated acid, a great deal of heat is released that could cause an explosion and cause to acid burns on the face, clothes, and other body parts. …

While diluting an acid, why is it recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid? Read More »

HCl gas ( dry gas) does not give out Hydrogen ions (H+) therefore, HCl does not show any acidic behaviour, and the colour of the litmus paper remains the same on reacting with HCl gas.

The reason electricity conducts in an acid is due to charged particles. The conductivity of electricity in acid is caused by these charged atoms, or ions.

A chemical will become acidic or non-acidic depending on the release of H+ ions in water. Acids are chemicals that, when they dissociate with water, produce hydrogen ions. Some substances have an acidic nature as they dissociate in an aqueous solution, producing hydrogen ions (acids like HCl, and HNO3) Hydrogen is present in substances that …

Why do HCl, HNO3, etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show an acidic character? Read More »

Metal compound A reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce Calcium Chloride, the gas evolved CO2 with brisk effervescence. Hence, metal A should be Calcium Carbonate. Hence, the reaction between Calcium Carbonate and HCl is CaCO3 (s) + 2HCl (Aq) → CaCl2( Aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

When an acid reacts with the metal to produce salt and hydrogen gas. Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen gas

Acids are present in curd and other sour foods, and they combine with metal to form metal. Food becomes poisonous as a result of this reaction, damaging people’s health.
