Acid-Base Reaction
- When an acid combines with a base, it leads to the formation of the corresponding salt and water. This reaction is known as an acid-base reaction.
- The acid-base reaction can also be called a Neutralization reaction.
HCl + NaOH —-> NaCl + H2O
Acids and Bases
An acid is a substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance. A base is a molecule able to donate OH- ion/strong>. Acidic substances are usually identified by their sour taste.
Acids have a sour taste and are corrosive i.e. exposure to acid on human skin can cause blisters. Some examples of acids are HCl, H2SO4, and others.
Let’s learn more about acids and bases, their properties, theories, and others in this article.
