Learn the key differences between acids and bases, their properties, examples, and their importance in chemistry, biology, and industry.

Carboxylic acids can also react with bases to form a salt and water in neutralisation reactions. When long chain 'fatty' acids are used, the salt formed is a soap.

In National 4 Chemistry investigate factors which affect the speed of a chemical reaction and compare rates of different chemical reactions.

Neutralization Reactions: Balancing Acids and Bases Neutralization reactions occur when an acid and a base react with each other, resulting in the formation of water and a salt.

Typically, chemical reactions require high temperatures, strong acids or bases, or unusual solvents. How do enzymes manage to perform conversion reactions without these chemical tools?
