Is the main ingredient in Drano and oven cleaner an acid or base?

The main ingredient in most oven cleaners is also sodium hydroxide, NaOH (aka, "lye," or caustic soda).

Vinegar is an acid (Acetic Acid) and baking soda is a base (Sodium Bicarbonate). Mixing acids with bases produces what is called "Acid Reduction Oxidation," or "Redox" reactions. Its basic forms result in salt (the type of salt is dependent upon the mixed chemicals), water, and heat (left over from the reaction). In the case of more complex reactions, where there is enough heat to separate some of the salt compounds, gases such as carbon-dioxide may alo be formed. \n\nThis is what creates the bubbles found in your "volcano."

Chromium process with outstanding spreadability and covering power. High tolerance for chromium(III), works at low temperatures and chrome acid concentrations. \n\nIn chemistry, chromic acid is a hypothetical chromium (Cr) compound, yet to be isolated, that would have the formula H2CrO4.There is a related acid, also yet to be isolated called dichromic acid with the formula H2Cr2O7. While these acids are not available, they are known through their divalent anions (chromate and dichromate respectively) and the compounds formed from them. Please note that the acid anhydride of chromic acid exists, chromium(VI) oxide or chromium trioxide (CrO3), and that industrially, this compound is sometimes sold as "chromic acid". This compound is an intensely-colored dark red/orange brown, water-soluble, granular solid which is stable by itself, but is a strong oxidant which will react when mixed with many things that can be oxidized. Ethanol, for example, will ignite on contact with it.\nIn all of the compounds discussed here, the element chromium is in oxidation state +6 (or VI). Chromium(VI) is often referred to as hexavalent chromium. Although chromium can exist in a number of oxidation states, hexavalent chromium is commonly reduced in redox reactions to a +3 oxidation state, where the Cr3+ ion is a distinctively different blue green color. Hexavalent chromium compounds are toxic and carcinogenic.\n\nChromic acid solutions are generally acidified aqueous solutions of chromate or dichromate salts. These solutions tend to be powerful oxidants, capable of destroying all organics in glassware and so often used for the cleaning of glass. Such solutions are often red-brown, orange, or yellow colored depending on concentration.\n\n\n     D3 is an oil hardening, high carbon/chromium type tool steel with high wear resistance. it hardense with a very slight change in size. the alloy possesses very high compressive strength and is deep hardening.\n \nchemical composition of D3 steel in wt percentage:\n\nC - 2.05\nSi- 0.25\nMn- 0.30\nCr- 11.50

HNO3\n\nIf you couldn't answer this question, you must be a real noob in chemistry!!  Well, for other times, here's the way to differentiate betwee acids and bases.\n\nAcids:   acids can be easily identified by the hydrogens they contain.  Most acids have their hydrogen in the beginning of their formula.  HNO3 can be easily identified as an acid: it is commonly called nitric acid.\n\nBases:  most bases can be identified by the (OH) group at the end of their formula... therefore, we can immediately label b) and d) as bases.   \n\nNow here, NH3 is kind of tough to define with the definitions given above.   I believe that the proper explanation is out of your scope for know (from what I can deduce).   So, you'll learn that later on.  But for your info, NH3 is ammonia, the stuff they use in cleaning fluids, and it is basic.\n\nHope this helps.

I believe that that is aluminum nitrate, more commonly written as Al(NO3)3.  It's used in deodorant.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen carbonate) and vinegar is acetic acid. One's an acid and one's a base. The sodium in the baking soda is a spectator ion, meaning it doesn't participate in the reaction. This means we don't have to write it.\n\nHC2H3O2 + HCO3- --> C2H3O2- + H2CO3\n\nCarbonic acid, H2CO3, dissociates into water and carbon dioxide. The full net ionic reaction is:\n\nHC2H3O2 + HCO3- --> C2H3O2 + H2O + CO2\n\nThe bubbles/foam you see is the CO2 gas.\n\n\nHope this helped.

Acid + base = salt + water.\n\nUnbalanced eqn is: Al(OH)3 + H2CO3 --> Al2(CO3)3 + H2O

acid + base ---> salt + H2O

Bleach is not an acid.  It has a pH of over 12, making it a strong base.\n\nVinegar is an acid, though.

Vinegar is a weak acid (Acetic Acid, HC2H3O2).\nAmmonia [and/or Ammonium Hydroxide] is a weak base (NH3 + H2O --> NH4OH).\n\nBy "weak", I am not refering to the reactivity of the substances, but rather the amount the substances will dissassociate into ions in solution.  A weak acid/base will not dissassociate completely into ions in solution as would a "Strong" acid/base would.\n\nWhen you react an acid and base together, you get a neutralization reaction which produces water and a salt.\nIn the case of Ammonia and vinegar, the salt you would producce is Ammonium Acetate (NH4C2H3O2).

Acetic acid is a fancy name for vinegar...if you mix it with baking soda it fizzes, that's evidence of acidity... also you can mix it with hydrogen peroxide. I can't think of an easy third test...maybe ammonium nitrate... all these tests would involve litmus paper by the way.

It is an Arrhenius base as it supplies OH- ions in solution.It reaccts with almost all acids.Some reactive metals are able to liberate hydrogen from it.It is corrosive on the skin and so it is known as caustic soda.The solid crystals are deliquesent and absorb water from the atmosphere.It is used as a econdary titrating agent as its 100% pure solution is difficult to prepare.

Antibacterial cleaners main ingredient is alcohol. The alcohol kills bacteria so it cannot spread to others. It does not remove it from your hands, just kills it. When you wash your hands you also wash away the dead bacteria.
