some common acids are
* H2SO4
*HCL
*HNO3
an example of this is an equation ... HCL(g) -------> H+ (aq) +CL-(aq)
+ water
a base is a substance that accepts H+ ions from acids and this is how a base can neutralise an acid.
and some common bases are...
*CaO
*MgO
*Cuo
This is how the acids and bases are connected and have donaton and acceptors of H+ ions
alkalis
sodium and potassium are also called alkalis and alkalis are a soluble base and they releases OH- ions in aqueous solutions.
when ammoinia gases dissolve they react with the water molecules.
