Question (1): Define the terms: Acid, alkali and salt. Answer: An acid is a compound, which releases hydronium ions (H 3 O + ) as the only positive ions in solution. An alkali is a compound, which releases hydroxyl ions (OH - ) as the only negative ions in solution. A salt is one of the products of neutralization between an acid and a base; water being the only other product. OR A salt gives positive ions other than H + ion and negative ions other than OH - ion in solution. Question (2): Identify the number of replaceable hydrogen ions (H + ) in the following acids: HCl, CH 3 COOH, H 2 SO 4 , H 3 PO 4 . Answer: HCl = 1 CH 3 COOH = 1 H 2 SO 4 = 2 H 3 PO 4 = 3. Question (3): What is a neutralization reaction? Answer: Neutralization is essentially a chemical reaction between H 3 O + ions of an acid with OH - ions of the base, to give undissociated molecules of water. Question (4): What are strong and weak acids? Give one example of each? Answer: A stron
