What is a base in Chemistry? Acids and Bases

Learn the difference between an acid and a base.The acidity of a solution is measured by its number of hydrogen ions. You can look up this measure on a ph scale. The abbreviation pH stands for potential hydrogen, and it is a measure how much hydrogen is in the solution and how active the hydrogen ion is. Hydrogen ions determine whether a solution is an acid or a base
A base that is water-soluble is called an alkali.
Acids are hydrogen ion donors and alkalis are hydrogen receptors.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:12 pH measures acidity, stands for potential hydrogen, indicates hydrogen concentration and activity.
00:39 pH scale: <7 acidic, >7 alkaline, 7 neutral; each interval is 10x difference in acidity.
01:08 Acids release hydrogen ions, increase positive ions; bases release hydroxide ions, increase negative ions.
01:36 Acid characteristics: sour taste, turn litmus red, pH <7. Base characteristics: bitter taste, turn litmus blue, pH >7.
02:03 Acid chemical formula: HCL (hydrochloric acid), HF (hydrofluoric acid). Base chemical formula: NaOH (sodium hydroxide), KOH (potassium hydroxide).

Lich chgitein inch er. Apply sodium bicarbonate mixed with water on your hands every day. It treats a thing or two.

Great video! Though I still dont understand. The acids you mentioned had hydrogen and when you explained bases you said they had hydrogen ions so why werent the acids you mentioned actually bases?
