In this post, we will study the fundamentals of Bases and Alkalis (fundamentals, definition, differences, examples, reactions of alkalis with water, strong and weak alkalis, etc.) Bases Bases are substances that neutralize acids. They are the chemical opposites of acids. The largest group of bases are metal oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates, such as sodium oxide, […]

Properties of acids – revision notes on a few properties of acids
In this post, we will discuss a few important properties of acids. Acids react with metals Acids react with metals that are above copper in the reactivity series to form a salt and hydrogen. metal + acid → salt + hydrogenFor example, Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2 Acids react with bases Acids react […]
Neutralization reaction – definition, examples, equations
The reaction of an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction. Although acids and bases have their own unique chemistries, the acid and base cancel each other’s chemistry to produce a rather innocuous substance – water. In fact, the general reaction between an acid and a base isacid + base → water + […]
Acid, Alkali, and pH scale – chemistry notes
Here you will get the fundamental concepts of acids, alkalies, and pH value (concepts, measurements, & examples). What is an Acid? An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions, H+, in an aqueous solution. For example, solutions of:● hydrochloric acid (HCl) contains hydrogen (H+) ions and chloride (Cl–) ions● sulfuric acid (H2SO4) contains hydrogen […]
