Most Important acidic Substances within a household

Acid can be found in your household Substances. In this post I have show some acidic household Substance with their acidic strength .

Before going to the list of acidic Substances, We must know what actually acid is !!

Acids are the Substance which can easily donate their H+ ions . This statement is only valid for Substance containing Hydrogen(H) then what about other Substance which doesn't contains H+ ions and still acidic..

So here is another statement : " Acid are the Substance which can easily Accept electron pair . They are generally electron deficient species.

Now , Check out some Important Acidic household Substances with their Acidic values .

◆ Shampoo

◆ Lemon / Orange

◆Milk or other dairy products

◆Coca-Cola / Soft drink

◆ Vinegar

◆Phenol

Acidic nature of a Substance can be determined by using pH scale . For a Substance If the pH value is less than 7 then it will be acid , if more than 7 then it will be basic and if exactly 7 then it will be neutral in nature .

Let's see some acidic Substances with their pH value ,

Shampoo - Shampoos have a pH of about 5.5 . Acidic nature is due to presence of Citric acid and some other acids in them.

Lemon / Orange - pH of lemon and orange is between 2.5 and 3 . Main component , Citric acid is responsible for their Acidic nature.

Milk and Dairy Products - Milk and Dairy Products like Yoghurt have a pH value of about 6 . Lactic acid is responsible for their acid nature .

Coca - Cola and other soft drinks - Soft drinks have pH between 2.5 and 3 . Carbonic acid is responsible for their Acidic nature.

Vinegar - pH of vinegar changes according to their uses but the most common pH value is about 2 - 3.5 . Acetic acid is responsible for their Acidic nature .

Phenol- Phenol is mostly used as disinfectant has a pH value about 5-6 . They are weak acid .

Stomach acid , Tomato and banana have a pH value 1 , 4.5 and 5 respectively.

So these are some common household Substances with there pH values.

The Most Important Elements in Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry Organic Chemistry is defined as the study of chemistry of Hydrcarbon . It's means there must be Carbon as well as Hydrogen. Misconception There is misconception that Organic Chemistry is the study of Carbon containing compound only. On the basis of this Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide should be Organic in nature but they are inorganic in nature due to absence of Carbon- Hydrogen bond . Most important elements of Organic Chemistry Carbon is the main Element of Organic Chemistry but along with carbon some other elements like Hydrogen , Oxygen , Nitrogen and somewhat phosphorus , Silicon and Sulphur are also important while studying Organic Chemistry . Most of the Organic compounds are made up of Carbon , Hydrogen and Oxygen , Of which Carbon and Hydrogen are present in high proportion . For understanding , Organic Chemistry we must get familiar with the basic Chemical nature's and properties of this elements . So , let's...

Types of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry

Intermediate is an unstable compound formed during a chemical reaction . This intermediate is very unstable and get converted into product as soon as it forms . Reaction intermediate forms in one step of a chemical reaction and get converted into product in the next step . There are basically four types of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry ◆Carbocation ◆carbanion ◆free radical ◆carbene Carbocation Carbocation is an intermediate in which carbon atom carries a positive charge . Carbocation is obtained during heterolytic fission. Heterolytic fission is defined as break down of covalent bond in such a way that more electronegative atom attract both the electrons . Carbocation is formed when more electronegative atom is directly attached to carbon atom during fission . Carbocations are sp2 hybridized having trigonal planar geometry Stability of carbocation depends on how easily electron density of carbocation can be increased . More the electron donati...
