For SQA National 5 Chemistry, learn about the properties of acids and bases and how to tell them apart with this BBC Bitesize Scotland revision guide.

The tragic accident, when a restaurant manager in Massachusetts died, was the result of a simple chemical reaction called neutralization. That's when an acid and a base are combined. Unfortunately in ...

Students recognize that a particular color change is a characteristic property of a substance and that a color change can also be used as evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred. Students will ...

Reactions of metals with acids. Acids react with some metals to produce salts and hydrogen. ... Acids and bases. Acids, bases and alkalis are found in the laboratory and at home.

An excellent review of the roles of acids and bases in biology can be found in Allen (2010), and the overall sequence of the reactions is shown in Stroud (1974). What Common Structural Features ...

When acids and bases are combined an acid-base reaction occurs. If there are an equal number of hydrogen and hydroxide ions present, the acid and base will neutralize each other, forming a salt ...

This review, which describes an approach to acid–base disorders, incorporates insights and examples drawn from the traditional, bicarbonate-centered approach and the physicochemical, or strong ...

For example, a 1,1′-bi-2-naphthyl-derived phosphoric acid such as that illustrated in Figure 8a can function as a general acid to protonate a reactant, and as a general base to deprotonate a ...
