CHAPTER 6: ACID, BASE & SALT


Chemistry and chemicals are present in everything you hear, see, smell, taste, and touch (matter). Hearing, seeing, tasting, and touching all entail complex chemical processes and interactions in your body. With such a wide spectrum of topics, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of chemistry in order to comprehend the world around us.


Many chemicals are acidic, neutral or alkaline. We can distinguish one from another using indicators. Acidity and alkalinity are measured on the pH scale. A salt is formed when an acid is neutralised by an alkali.

In this topic, we're going to learn everything about acid and base from its chemical and physical properties and how to distinguish between these two chemicals.
