Neutralization Reactions: The Acid Base Balancing
In neutralization reactions, salt and water are formed from acids and bases. One mole of H+ produced from the acid combines with one mole of OH- produced [...]

When solute-solvent interactions are strong enough to overcome the solute-solute interactions, solutes get dissolved in solvents and a solution is formed. The dissolving process in [...]
The distinction between the characteristics of acids and bases is generally based on taste and feel. The acids are sour and the bases are bitter [...]
Salt hydrolysis is the process of breaking down salt into its component ions in interaction with water. This is also responsible for the acidity or [...]
Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute dissolved per liter (dm3) of solution. It is the most used unit of concentration. It is [...]
Saponification is a chemical reaction that produces soap. Glycerol is a byproduct of this reaction. Soap can be precipitated out from glycerol in the form [...]
Caustic soda is the common name for sodium hydroxide. It is one of the strongest known alkali (water-soluble base). The chemical formula of caustic soda [...]
Salts are ionic compounds with a net charge of zero. They are produced when cations and anions form electrostatic forces of attraction. Salts are most [...]
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, also known as muriatic acid. It is a colorless solution of hydrogen and chlorine with a pungent smell. It [...]
Sulfuric acid is the king of chemicals due to its wide range of uses in several industries. It is a well-known mineral acid also known as [...]
