Learn Chemistry with us! Acids, Bases and Salts

Many acids and bases occur naturally in nature, such as citric acid in fruits like oranges and lemons. Similarly, many bases are found in our daily lives such as limewater. In fact, we use many of these acids in our day-to-day lives, such as vinegar or acetic acid in the kitchen, boric acid for laundry, and baking soda for the purposes of cooking.

Knowing where acids and bases come from allows you to see the big picture and relate more to the concept of reactions.

What happens when acids react with metals? Why does lead not appear to react with acid? What are the products formed each time there is an acid reaction? Let’s find out together!
