ICSE Class 10 Chemistry Study of Acids, Bases and Salts
Introduction to Acids and Bases
Acids are those substances which liberate hydrogen ions in water.
Bases are those substances which liberate hydroxide ions in water.
Acids derived from living organisms i.e. plants and animals are known as Organic acidsProperties of Acids and Bases
Acid-Base indicators indicate the presence of an acid or a base in a solution either by a change in their smell or colour.
When acids react with metals, they displace hydrogen from acids and produce salts.
Metal carbonates as well as their bicarbonates react with acids, to form a salt, carbon dioxide and water.
Neutralization is a reaction in which the acids neutralize the base resulting in the formation of a salt and water.p H Scale and Its Importance
