Acids Bases and Salts.

In this topic, we learnt about the PH level of different acids and alkaline. For acids, the PH level will be below 7, while for alkaline, the PH level will be above 7. If the PH level is 7, it means neutralism has happened and the substance is water. Alkaline are also called bases. When a acid react with bases, it produces a salt and water. The acids we use in our laboratory are diluted acids but that does not mean that they are not corrosive. It may still be dangerous if these acids come in contact with us. In a strong acid, almost all the molecules are ionized in water. For weak acids, it is the opposite. Almost all the molecules are not ionized with only a few ionized.

After learning this topic, i relised that acids can be used in many ways and not only in labs. The experiments in the science lab were also fun when we used to litmus paper to check for the PH level of the acid or base.
