This document discusses acids, bases, and salts. It lists common organic and inorganic acids, and describes how litmus paper can be used to identify acidic and basic solutions. It also discusses the reactions of metals, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates, and metallic/non-metallic oxides with acids and bases. Additionally, it provides examples of chemical reactions between acids and bases, and describes how chemicals like sodium hydroxide, calcium hypochlorite, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium carbonate can be produced from common salt. Their uses are also outlined.
