Quick Q&A Before You Revise

Does a strong acid always have low pH?

Usually yes in comparable solutions, but pH also depends on concentration, not only on strength.

Why is water necessary for acidity or basicity?

Water is needed because acids and bases show their characteristic behaviour only after forming ions in aqueous solution.

Is every base an alkali?

No. Only bases that dissolve in water are called alkalis.

How can I remember baking soda versus washing soda?

Baking soda is hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3, while washing soda is sodium carbonate decahydrate, Na2CO3.10H2O.

Why is turmeric important in this chapter?

Turmeric is a natural indicator and a familiar Indian example, so it is often used in school and board questions.

What is the easiest way to write salt answers?

Write the name, formula, preparation, and uses in the same order every time.

Can a neutral solution contain ions?

Yes. Pure water has very small amounts of H+ and OH- ions in equal concentrations, so it is neutral.

What should I revise one day before the exam from this chapter?

Revise indicator colour changes, standard equations, pH uses, and the formulas plus uses of the common salts.
