(39 cards)
define acid
an acid is a substance which produces hydrogen ions, when it is dissolved water
define alkali
an alkali is a substance which produces hydroxide ions, when it is dissolved in water
physical properties of acids
1) taste sour
2) conduct electricity in aqueous state
physical properties of alkalis
1) taste bitter
2) conduct electricity in aqueous state
3) feels soapy
can acid and alkalis conduct electricity?
acid and alkalis can conduct electricity as the ions are able to move and carry electric current
