What You Will Learn?
✅ Acid-base indicators are dyes or mixtures of dyes which are used to indicate the presence of acids and bases.
✅ Acidic nature of a substance is due to the formation of H+ (aq) ions in solution. Formation of OH– (aq) ions in solution is responsible for the basic nature of a substance. ✅ When an acid reacts with a metal, hydrogen gas is evolved and a corresponding salt is formed.
✅ When a base reacts with a metal, along with the evolution of hydrogen gas a salt is formed which has a negative ion composed of the metal and oxygen.
✅ When an acid reacts with a metal carbonate or metal hydrogencarbonate, it gives the corresponding salt, carbon dioxide gas and water.
✅ Acidic and basic solutions in water conduct electricity because they produce hydrogen and hydroxide ions respectively.
✅ The strength of an acid or an alkali can be tested by using a scale called the pH scale (0-14) which gives the measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
✅ A neutral solution has a pH of exactly 7, while an acidic solution has a pH less than 7 and a basic solution a pH more than 7.
✅ Living beings carry out their metabolic activities within an optimal pH range.
✅ Mixing concentrated acids or bases with water is a highly exothermic process.
✅ Acids and bases neutralise each other to form corresponding salts and water.
✅ Water of crystallisation is the fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of a salt.
✅ Salts have various uses in everyday life and in industries.
