These are the characteristics that apply:
- In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.
- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water
-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme:
HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)
The beats are actually two new sounds.
Their frequencies are (the sum of the original two frequencies) and (the difference of the original two frequencies).
The existence of the beats is the result of the difference in the frequencies of the original two sounds. <em> (b)</em>
Acetic acid is a weak acid and sodium hydroxide is strong base. Salts of the two will hydrolyse to give basic solution. So, at neutral point, pH of the solution will be greater than 8.
