Science Game about Acid versus Alkali

This science game will help review key differences between acids and alkali.

What Are the Differences Between Acid and Alkali
Acids refer to chemicals that have a H=ion. Examples of acid include Hydrochloric acid and Sulphuric acids. Alkalis refer to chemicals that have the OH= ion. Sodium Hydroxide is an example. Knowing the composition of water will help you understand the differences between acid and alkali. The chemical formula for water molecules is H2O. This allows them to split into two different ions. The concentrations of hydroxide and hydrogen ions in neutral solutions are equal. The concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions change when acid or alkali is added. Acidification is the result of this reaction.

Arrhenius
It is only a matter of definition what the difference between acid or base is. According to Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that gives a proton to a water molecule. This theory does not explain the basic and acidic behavior of compounds. Bronsted-Lowry theory extends this theory to explain the acid and base behavior of insoluble solutions. The Arrhenius theory is not applicable to all compounds.
On the other hand, a weak acid does not release hydrogenions. It exists instead as an equilibrium mixture between hydrogen- and oxygen-containing molecules. This acid has a high pH, but its dissociation constant (which is lower) is higher. This renders Arrhenius' acid base theory the least restrictive. To be soluble in water, a compound must have either a hydrogen ion (or a hydroxyl) group. Acid and base compounds can't be classified as acids or basses if they don't contain a hydrogen Ion.

Bronsted-Lowry
Bronsted-Lowry's acid and base theory says that an acid gives a proton to the base, and the latter accepts it. This results in a conjugate base and acid. Both acids and bases contain hydrogen, which acts as proton donors or acceptors. Johannes Nicolaus Bronsted, Thomas Martin Lowry independently created the Bronsted-Lowry Theory in 1923.
We must first examine the chemical structures of both acids and bases to distinguish between them. The base is weaker and the acid is stronger. You can distinguish the bronsted-Lowry base and acid by how they react with water. The base might have stronger effects on water. This happens when an acid or a base reacts with analkali substance.

Lewis
Here's a brief explanation of Lewis's "acid" or "alkali". It is the process where an acid or alkali accepts, or donates, a pair electrons. A proton is an example of a Lewis acid. It accepts two electrons. Borane is, however, a Lewis acid because it donates one electron pair to a proton.
It is important to understand the difference between an alkali and an acid. An acid substance is one that does not have an octet. A Lewis acid is an acid that has six valence electrons. It needs one pair more to be considered. An octet is found in a Lewis alkali. These acids or alkalis lack one octet.

Hydronium ion
The H+(aq) abbreviation for Hydronium ion found in acid or alkali solutions is commonly used. The H+ ion, a proton that is isolated from water and cannot exist in an aqueous solution, is called the Hydronium ion. To form H3O+, the most acidic species in water, it is transferred to a water molecular. Hydrochloric acid, meanwhile, is written HCl (aq), and is a strong electrolyte.
The chemical properties and behavior of solutions are determined by the hydronium and hydroxide concentrations. Autoionization is a term that describes situations in which one ion is greater than the other. Water has a lower level of hydronium than water does of hydroxide.

Ammonia
Acid and alkali, and ammonia are basically the same thing. However, they can be used in different ways. Alkali is a strong base and ammonia is weak. Acids have a pH below neutral. Ammonia on the other side has a pH above neutral. It is therefore a weak base. It can be used to clean windows because it is water-soluble.
An ammonium salt is formed when ammonia and acid are combined. Both cases involve ammonia reacting with a hydrogen Ion and forming a co-ordinate bond to the acid. This is known as neutralization. The water that is produced from neutralisation cancels the water that was used in ionization. This chemical reaction also produces carbon monoxide which is classified as acid.
