Sulfuric Acid has a pH of 1. It is so strong, it can cause burns when you come in to contact with it. It has a number of uses:
- Car Batterys
- Manufacturing Processes (Making Fertilisers and Detergents).
- To clean and prepare metal surfaces coated with insoluble Metal Oxide
Sulfuric Acid + Metal Oxide ---> Soluble Metal Salts + Water. Then the products can be washed away.
2 Types of Bases: Metal Oxides and Metal Hydroxides.
Somes Metal Oxides (alkalis) + Hydroxides dissolve in water. Bases that won't dissolve still react with acids. Both Metal Oxides and Hydroxides react with Acids to form a salt and water.
ACID + CARBONATE ---> SALT + WATER + CARBON DIOXIDE
ACID + AMMONIA ---> AMMONIUM SALT
