An 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 their ...

Your body is constantly performing a delicate balancing act that most of us never think about. While we’re busy worrying about calories and carbs, a microscopic chemistry experiment determines how ...

Blood is naturally slightly alkaline or basic. Here’s what that means. The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline — basic — something is. Your body works constantly to carefully control pH levels of ...

Carbonic Acid Structure: Acids and Bases are an integral part of chemistry and a major portion is devoted to explaining their properties and examples. One of the most studied acids is Carbon Acid. It ...
