Salts are chemical compounds made by the reaction between acids and bases. When an acid reacts with a base, a salt is formed. Salts have characteristic and consistent properties different from their ingredient elements. They are ionic compounds, made of metal cations and organic or inorganic anions. Hence, they are generally soluble in water. They are… Continue reading Salts

Base is a chemical compound that consists of OH– ions and accepts protons. Base in Chemistry are those compounds that turn red litmus blue and when reacted with acid they neutralize the reaction to give salt and water. The pH value of the base is greater than 7. Bases are bitter in taste and slippery in… Continue reading What are Bases

An acid is a chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. Most acids contain a hydrogen atom bonded that can release (dissociate) to yield a cation and an anion in water. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions produced by an acid, the higher its acidity and the lower the pH of the solution. The word acid comes from… Continue reading What is Acids ?
