FAQs on Acids, Bases and Salts - 3 Class 10 Worksheet Science Chapter 2

1. What is the difference between an acid and a base?
Ans. Acids and bases are two types of chemical substances that have different properties. Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, while bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Acids have a sour taste, turn blue litmus paper red, and have a pH value less than 7. Bases, on the other hand, have a bitter taste, turn red litmus paper blue, and have a pH value greater than 7.
2. How do acids and bases react with each other?
Ans. When an acid and a base react with each other, they undergo a chemical reaction called neutralization. In this reaction, the hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the base to form water (H2O). Additionally, a salt is formed as a result of this reaction. The pH of the resulting solution depends on the strength of the acid and base used.
3. What are the common uses of acids, bases, and salts?
Ans. Acids, bases, and salts have various applications in our daily lives. Some common uses of acids include the production of fertilizers, cleaning agents, and food preservation. Bases are used in household cleaning products, the manufacturing of soaps and detergents, and in baking soda for cooking. Salts have numerous uses, such as seasoning food, water softening, and as ingredients in various industrial processes.
4. How can we determine the strength of an acid or a base?
Ans. The strength of an acid or a base can be determined by its pH value. The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a substance, ranging from 0 to 14. A pH value less than 7 indicates an acid, with lower values indicating stronger acids. A pH value greater than 7 indicates a base, with higher values indicating stronger bases. The pH can be measured using pH paper, pH meters, or indicators such as litmus paper.
5. What are the effects of acids and bases on living organisms?
Ans. Acids and bases can have different effects on living organisms. Strong acids and bases can be corrosive and cause harm to living tissues upon contact. For example, strong acids can burn the skin, while strong bases can cause severe chemical burns. Additionally, the pH of an environment can influence the growth and survival of organisms. Some organisms have specific pH requirements for optimal functioning, and a significant change in pH can disrupt their biological processes.
