The document discusses acids and bases. It lists many common acids like vinegar, lemon juice, and stomach acid, as well as their chemical formulas. These substances taste sour and turn litmus red. Bases are described as bitter tasting and soapy, like detergent, baking soda, and drain cleaner. Bases turn litmus blue. The document explains that when an acid and base are mixed, a neutralization reaction occurs where salt and water are produced with the evolution of heat.

Sour in taste
They have more reactive hydrogen ions
Turns blue litmus red pH less then 7 Vinegar Lemon juice Orange juice Curd Tamarind Amla Black tea Apple juice Unripe mango grapes curd, lemon juice, orange juice and vinegar taste sour. These substances taste sour because they contain acids. The chemical nature of such substances is acidic. The word acid comes from the Latin word acere which mean sour. The acids in these substances are nature acids. hydrochloric stomach acid sulfuric acid car acetic acid batteries vinegar carbonic acid Sodas/ soft drink Formic acid ant’s sting Citric acid lemons, oranges etc. Lactic acid curd Oxalic acid spinach Ascorbic acid amla, citrus fruits Tartaric acid tamarind, grapes, unripe mangoes, etc. Base bitter to taste Soapy to touch Water soluble base are called alkalis. All alkalis are bases but all bases are not alkalis. Turns red litmus blue Ph greater then 7 Detergent Baking soda Drain cleaner Antacid base Ammonia sops(hand, dish) Lime water Milk of magnesia baking soda taste sour? What is its taste? Since, it does not taste sour it means, that it has no acids in it. It is bitter in taste. If you rub the solution between fingers, it feels soapy on touching are know as base. The nature of such substances is aid to be basic. sodium hydroxide - soaps, drain cleaner magnesium hydroxide - antacids Aluminum hydroxide - antacid, deodorants Calcium hydroxide - lime water Ammonium hydroxide - window cleaners Magnesium hydroxide - milk of ammonium hydroxide magnesia - “ammonia” Common base Weak base : potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate ammonia Strong Bases: sodium hydroxide; sodium phosphate; barium hydroxide; calcium hydroxide Litmus (paper/solution) Turmeric China rose Phenolphthalein (ph) When an acidic solution is mixed with a basic solution, both the solutions neutralise the effect of each other. the reaction between an acid and a base is known as neutralisation. Salt and water are produced in this process with the evolution of heat. Acid+ base salt+water (heat is evolved) Hydrochloric acid (HCl)+sodium hydroxide (NaOH) sodium chloride (NaCl)+ water (H2O)
