Test: Introduction To Acids And Bases

The acid present in curd is lactic acid.

The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds. Milk that has been left to sour (raw milk alone or pasteurized milk with added lactic acid bacteria) will also naturally produce curds, and sour milk cheeses are produced this way.

Blue litmus paper is mainly used to test acids. It will turn red when it comes into contact with an acid. If it comes into contact with a substance that is basic or neutral, it will remain blue.

 Acids like acetic acid ( CH₃COOH ) dissociates partially or incompletely, releasing only some of its hydrogen atoms into the solution. Hence they are weak acid.

Oxalic acid is found in tomatoes, lactic acid in curd and acetic acid is found in vinegar.

Limewater is the common name for a dilute aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂, is sparsely soluble at room temperature in water (1.5 g/L at 25 °C). "Pure" (i.e. less than or fully saturated) limewater is clear and colorless, with a slight earthy smell and an astringent/bitter taste. It is basic in nature with a pH of 12.4.

KOH (aq), or Potassium Hydroxide, is a strong base. When added to water, it dissociates completely to give mobile ions, including the hydroxide ion which is responsible for the alkaline properties of the substance.

Plaster of paris: CaSO₄.1/2H₂O

Gypsum:CaSO₄.2H₂O

Difference is 3/2 of H₂O

Sulfuric acid is inorganic because it doesn't contain carbon atoms bonded to oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. 

• Lemon juice in its natural state is acidic with a pH of about 2, but once metabolized it actually becomes alkaline with a pH well above 7. So, outside the body, anyone can see that lemon juice is very acidic.
• Tomatoes are on the low end of acidic foods. An alkaline diet is not that you can not have any foods that are acidic but balance both alkalizing and acidic.
• Milk is actually pretty close to neutral with a pH of 6.8. (7 is neutral and the lower the number the more acidic). It can become acidic if bacteria break down the milk sugar and produce lactic acid. This is what causes milk to sour .

The acid that is present in tamarind is tartaric acid, which is a white crystalline organic acid, which is formed naturally and can be found in several other plants.

Because If we add water to acid , the reaction would become highly exothermic and lots of heat would be generated which would splash​ on your face and cause severe burns.

Acids dissociate in water to give H⁺ ions and not OH^-.

Most acids release H⁺ ions in water, which combines with water molecule to produce hydronium (H₃O⁺) ion.
Eg.
HCl(g)+H₂O(l)→Cl−(aq)+H₃O+(aq)

A base is bitter in taste and soapy to touch. A weak base does not dissociate completely into its ions in aqueous solutions.

Acid is defined as the substance which dissociates and releases H⁺ ions in their aqueous states.
The equation for the dissociation of hydrochloric acid is given by:
HCl (aq.) gives H⁺ (aq.) + OH^-(aq)     
But molecules like alcohol  and glucose  and Urea do not produce H⁺ ions and thus are not considered as acids.

CuSO₄.5H₂O is a hydrated salt. An example of acid salt is NaHCO₃.

HCL is an acid so it won't have any effect on red litmus paper

Calcium Hydroxide ( not carbonate) is commonly referred as slaked lime.

An element which is common to all acids is Hydrogen because acids dissociate into H⁺ ions.

Oxy acid is an acid which contains both oxygen and hydrogen.

An oxyacid is an acid that contains an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom and at least one other element.

An oxyacid has the general structure X-O-H.
