This chapter describes acids, bases and salts and their chemical properties. We will learn about the pH scale, its importance and the classification of salts. It also discusses the preparation of normal salts and their general properties.

Practice Other Topics from Acids, Bases and Salts

This topic introduces the acids with its classification into organic and inorganic acids. It discusses the role of water in the dissociation of an acid and uses of mineral acids in industry. It also explains the chemical nature of acids.

This topic explains the physical and chemical nature of the bases. The difference between a base and an alkali with a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base are discussed in detail. It also mentions the uses of some common bases.

This topic provides information about indicators and explains how they change colours according to the pH alteration. We will learn in detail the behaviour of indicators. It also briefs on the properties of indicators and characteristics of a good indicator.

Through this topic, we will understand the mechanism and importance of the pH scale. Furthermore, it illustrates the properties and method of use. A labelled diagram is also provided to categorise the behavior into acidic or basic.

In this topic, we will learn the family of salts, pH values of salts, chemicals from common salts. It also describes sodium hydroxide, bleaching powder, baking soda and washing soda along with their uses.
