Acids and bases are compounds that we encounter every day, for example when we eat or when we wash our clothes. In this video we investigate what acids and bases are and look at some spectacular reactions that show why you want to wear protective gear when handling strong acids and bases.
This is the fifth film in a series of seven videos produced by Molecular Frontiers and Eoscene Productions, in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, with financial support by Hasselbladsstiftelsen. We encourage you to use it in education, for example as an introduction to the corresponding chapter in the chemistry textbook!
