Why Acids and Bases React Differently and How They Form Salts
Zoya Shaikh
Hi! Today in my science lab, I was doing some experiments with acids and bases. I mixed lemon juice with baking soda, and it started to fizz a lot. Then I tried mixing vinegar with soap water, and it didn’t fizz much at all. I got a little confused. Why do some acids react strongly with certain substances and make fizz, while others react very little? Also, what kind of salt is formed in these reactions?

Acids release H⁺ ions and bases release OH⁻ ions. When they react, these ions combine to form water, while the remaining parts join to make a salt, showing their opposite chemical nature.Add a comment

Acids have hydrogen ions and bases have hydroxide ions; when they react, they neutralize each other to form salt and water.Add a comment
