To State: The formula of three important acids and three important bases and describe their uses.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:Acids are substance that produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.
Bases are substance that produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
Three important acids are:
- Hydrochloric acid Chemical formula:
Uses: it is used in pickling of metals. Pickling removes metal oxides from the metal surface.
- Nitric acid Chemical formula:
Uses: it is used in the manufacture of fertilizers such as potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, and ammonium nitrate.
- Sulfuric acid Chemical formula:
Uses: it used in the manufacture of fertilizers, acids, and explosives.
Three important bases are:
- Sodium hydroxide Chemical formula:
Uses: it is used in the manufacture of soap and other cleaners.
- Ammonia Chemical formula:
Use: it used in the manufacture of fertilizers, industrial chemicals and synthetic products.
- Calcium hydroxide Chemical formula:
Use: it used for softening temporary hard water and in the manufacture of bleaching powder.
Conclusion: the three important acids are- hydrochloric acid (
