1.(Biochemistry) any of a class of aliphatic carboxylic acids, such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid, that form part of a lipid molecule 2.(Elements & Compounds) another name for carboxylic acid, used esp of a naturally occurring one ...
Insoluble substance which neutralise acids to form a salt and waterProton acceptors What are alkalies Alkalies are bases that are soluable. Strong alkalis produce lots of OH- ions in water and weak alkalis produce few OH- in water What is the pH of alkalis? 8 - 14 Base + Acid Salt + ...
Generally substances are called bases if they contain the hydroxyl group OH [KOH, NaOH, Ca(OH)2] and undergo dissociation in aqueous solution to form hydroxyl OH–ions. The majority of bases are insoluble in water. Water-soluble bases are known as alkalis. The presence of OH–ions explains...
-oh ions. bases are also sometimes called alkalis. an acid is a substance which donates “hydrogen ions” and a base is one that accepts “hydrogen ions.” a strong acid is one whose hydrogen ion is easily and completely dissociated from its conjugate base. a base is a substance that, ...
alkalis bases that dissolve in water neutralisation reaction a reaction in which an acid and a base react in an aqueous solution to produce a salt and water salt + water metal oxide + acid → and metal hydroxide + acid → salt + water + carbon dioxide ...
Alkalis:bases which are soluble in water Bases and acids have high conductivity because they split up into ions which can flow as charges Examples of acids, bases and Neutral Acids : hydrochloric acid, vinegar, battery acid, acid rain , lemon juice ...
