Copper carbonate is a salt because bases are oxides or hydroxides of metals, but a salt is a compound made up of an acid, when a metal takes the place of the hydrogen in the acid. Calcium carbonate is formed by the reactions of calcium and carbonic acid.

The pH of the solution is a measure of the replaceable hydrogen ions present in it.  The larger the value of pH, the lesser is the amount of hydrogen ions and less acidic is the solution. Hence, solution with pH 5 denotes a weak acid.   

Acidic salts are those, which contain hydrogen ion. NaHSO₄ contains hydrogen ion. Hence, it is an acidic salt.

It is not true because bases, which dissolve in water are called as alkali. Hence, all alkalies are bases but all bases are not alkali.

It is used as an antacid to neutralise the excessive acidity in the stomach. It is sold as 'milk of magnesia'.

Copper does not react with acid, so it is not used to prepare hydrogen by the action of an acid.

A molecule of Plaster of Paris contains two molecules of water of crystallisation. Plaster of Paris is known as calcium sulphate.

The number of hydroxyl ions present in one molecule of base is called its acidity. In sodium hydroxide, only one hydroxyl ion is present, so its acidity is 1 while others have 2 hydroxyl ions, so the acidity is 2. The number of hydroxyl ions present in one molecule of base is called its acidity. In sodium hydroxide, only one hydroxyl ion is present, so its acidity is 1 while others have 2 hydroxyl ions, so the acidity is 2.Zinc hydroxide contain 2 hydroxyl ions, so its acidity is also 2.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is added to the milk. This in turn, neutralises lactic acid and the milk does not curdle.

Yes, most of oven sprays contain ammonia solution, which are completely alkaline.

The litmus is extracted from lichen plants found in the Tundra region.

Calcium hydroxide is used as an antidote for acid poisoning.

Concentrated sulphuric acid is known as oil of vitriol.

Hydrochloric acid is used in cleaning kitchen sink and sanitary wares.

Carbonic acid is responsible for the 'fizz' in soft drinks.

According to the definition, an Arrhenius acid yields hydrogen ions as the only positive ions in the aqueous solution. Here, HCl forms H⁺ ions. Therefore, it is an Arrhenius acid.
