Acids, Bases and Salts
This chapter explores the chemical properties of acids and bases, indicators, their reactions with metals and carbonates, neutralisation, and the pH scale. We will also study the importance of pH in daily life, the family of salts, and important chemicals derived from common salt — sodium hydroxide, bleaching powder, baking soda, washing soda, and plaster of Paris. This is one of the most important chapters of the Class 10 board examination.
