However, one of the most common marinating mistakes people make is trying to use either oil or an acid as the base. In reality, you always need a balance of both. The easiest way to remember this is ...

How does it work? Acids, bases, and neutral substances can all be compared on a spectrum called the pH scale. “Neutral” is where most of our body fluids are: neither acid nor base, but in the middle ...

A crash course on the basic differences between acids and bases, complete with a classroom-friendly experiment demonstrating the strength of such compounds using a red cabbage pH indicator.

Sodium hydroxide is added to a cylinder of aluminum nitrate, precipitating out aluminum hydroxide. When additional base is added, the precipitate dissolves. The reactions can then be reversed with the ...

IntroductionAn acid-base indicator is a substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes. Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with ...

ANCIENT alchemists wanted to transform common metals into gold. Now chemists have achieved a more subtle modern-day equivalent – converting the element boron from an acid to a base. The work ...

An important internal homeostatic trigger for the genesis of panic attacks, supported by an emerging body of work, is acid–base imbalance and associated pH chemosensory mechanisms.
