About this document
Understanding Acids and Bases by Nick Rubio is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in water, turning litmus red and reacting with metals and carbonates. Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water, turning litmus blue and feeling slippery. The pH scale measures acidity from 0-14, with lower values being more acidic and higher more basic. Acids and bases neutralize in reactions producing water and salts. Indicators change color at specific pH levels to determine acidity.
