Study of Acids Bases and Salts


   
 
Introduction
Acids, bases and salts are three main categories of chemical compounds. These have certain definite properties that distinguish one class from the other. Scientists like Lavoisier and Davy studied acids and bases in a scientific manner. Initially, Lavoisier believed oxygen to be a constituent of all acids. It led him to frame the word "oxygen" which means "acid producer". Later, Davy was able to disprove this wrong notion, by preparing hydrochloric acid, which does not have oxygen.
