Note : Non Metallic oxides are said to be acidic in nature because on reacting
with a base they produce Salt and Water

– Glowing of bulb indicates that there is a flow of electric current through the
solution
...



H+ion cannot exist alone
...


H+ + H2O  H3O+



Bases provide (OH–) ions in the presence of water

H2O
NaOH(s)  Na+(aq) + OH–
(aq)

H2O
KOH(s)  K+(aq) + OH–(aq)

H2O
Mg(OH)2(s)  Mg2+(aq) + 2OH–(aq)

q

Alkalis
All bases donot dissolve in water
...

Common alkalis are
NaOH

Sodium hydroxide

KOH

Potassium hydroxide

Ca(OH)2

Calcium hydroxide

NH4OH : Ammonium hydroxide
Note : All alkalis are bases but all bases are not alkalis
...
The acid must
always be added to water with constant stirring as it is highly exothermic
reaction
...
This results
in the decrease in the concentration of H3O+ or OH– per unit volume in acids
and bases respectively
...
of H+ions and OH–ions
produced respectively
...
This indicator is called PH scale
...

This scale measures from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline) 7 Neutral
(water in Neutral)
