Acids, Bases and Salts

Download Q&A

The Acids, Bases and Salts section covers the fundamental concepts, reactions, and applications of acidic and basic substances, along with the chemistry of salts. This module is designed for Class 11–12 students, undergraduate learners, and competitive exam aspirants, emphasizing conceptual clarity, reaction understanding, and practical relevance.

In this section, you will study:

  • Definitions and theories of acids and bases – Arrhenius, Brønsted–Lowry, Lewis

  • Strength of acids and bases – pH, pOH, ionization, and dissociation constants

  • Preparation and properties of common salts – neutral, acidic, and basic salts

  • Reactions involving acids, bases, and salts – neutralization, hydrolysis, and displacement reactions

  • Buffer solutions – concept, mechanism, and calculation of pH in buffer systems

  • Indicators – theory, selection, and color changes in acid-base titrations

  • Solubility products (Ksp) – ionic equilibria and precipitation reactions

  • Applications of acids, bases, and salts in industry, medicine, and daily life

  • NCERT- and UG-aligned explanations, supported by reaction equations, diagrams, numericals, MCQs, and previous-year questions (PYQs)

The content is structured to build strong theoretical and practical understanding, improve analytical skills, and prepare students for school exams, UG assessments, and competitive exams like NEET and JEE.

Develop a solid foundation in Acids, Bases and Salts to confidently solve conceptual, numerical, and application-based questions in Chemistry.
