  • Robert Boyle classified acids and bases using observable properties.
  • Arrhenius defined acids and bases using ions formed in water.
  • Indicators help identify acidic or basic nature.
  • Litmus is a natural indicator from lichens.
  • Phenolphthalein and methyl orange are synthetic indicators.
  • Strong acids dissociate completely.
  • Weak acids dissociate partially.
  • Strong bases dissociate completely.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A strong acid is always highly corrosive, and a weak acid is harmless.

Any substance containing hydrogen is an acid.

Dry HCl gas should turn dry blue litmus red because HCl is an acid.
