Discover the fundamental concepts of acids and bases, their interaction with water, and the idea of equilibrium. This guide highlights how acids, such as acetic acid, and bases, such as carbonate, impact the balance of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in a solution. Learn the key differences between acids and bases in their ability to add or remove ions from water, and engage with practical examples to deepen your understanding of these essential chemical principles.
