Acids & Bases

What is the difference between a base and an alkali? How do acids react with metals? What does the pH scale measure? Many people think that chemistry is something that is done by scientists in laboratories full of test tubes and flasks of colored liquids. But chemistry does not just happen in the lab. It happens all around us: at home, at school, and everywhere else! The books in the Chemicals in Action series will help you discover how chemistry works and how it is used in our everyday lives. Explore the microscopic world of atoms and molecules, find out about the chemicals in our bodies, and perform experiments to learn more! Read Acids & Bases to find out what gives acids and bases their properties, how they react with each other, and how we use them in our everyday lives. You will also find several experiments that can be done at home. Book jacket.Oxlade, Chris is the author of 'Acids & Bases ' with ISBN 9781588101945 and ISBN 1588101940.
