Note PH

Acids and Alkalis
When a substance dissloves in water it makes a solution solification

Solutions can be sorted by whether thay are Acidic ,Basic and Neutral

When the oxide of some non-metals dissolve in water they make an acid

Acids have a sour taste
They are corrosive (breaking down thing)


They are many kinds of acid present in our life everyday

Some strong acids : Hydrochloric acid, Sulphuric and nutric acid

Some weak acids

Neutralisation
-Acids and Alkalis combine with each other. The alkali cancels out the acid in the reaction. This is called neutralisation

Alkalis

Many everyday substances are slkalis
They feel soapy
They are corrosive
When the oxides  of some metals dissolve in water they make an alkali solution

Alkalis react with acids and neutralise them
Calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide are strong alkalis

Ammonia is the most common and weak alkalia
