But water can interact in the same way with other acids and bases.

它是我们在化学中运用最多的底数。

Because hydrogen ions, or protons, are pivotal to the behavior of acids and bases, which is what pH describes.

不过它也可能仅仅是。

You learned some examples of acids and bases and neutral substances, as well as why some acids and bases are called strong and others are called weak.

有时甚至完全电离，因此释放大量的氢离子而被称为是强酸。

A conjugate acid and base are two different molecules that are almost identical except for one hydrogen atom.

共轭酸和碱是两个不同的分子，除了一个氢原子外几乎完全相同。

If you mix acids and bases together they neutralize each other.

如果将酸和碱混合在一起， 它们会相互中和。

Now acids and bases are not all created equal.

现在酸和碱并非生而平等。

In 1923, two guys simultaneously defined acids and bases in the exact same way.

1923 年， 两个人同时用完全相同的方式定义了酸和碱。

Weak in reference to acids and bases means that they only partial dissociate.

弱于酸和碱意味着它们只能部分解离。

Mixing concentrated acids and bases releases so much heat that it can result in an explosion.

混合浓酸和碱会释放大量热量，可能会导致爆炸。

But you do know what happens when you mix acids and bases, right?

但是你知道当你混合酸和碱时会发生什么，对吗？

When acids and bases react, they neutralize each other, making a substance that’s much less harmful and reactive.

当酸和碱发生反应时， 它们会相互中和， 从而形成一种危害性和反应性都小得多的物质。

Previous definitions of acids and bases, particularly the one proposed by our old friend Arrhenius, relied on specific major species.

以前对酸和碱的定义，尤其是我们的老朋友 Arrhenius 提出的定义， 依赖于特定的主要物种。

To make activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon, you treat charcoal with heat and oxygen, or with certain acids and bases.

要制造活性炭（也称为活性炭）， 您需要用热和氧或某些酸和碱处理木炭。

But when chemists work with dissociation equations, for acids and bases, they give the Keq a special name: the acid (or base) dissociation constant.

但是当化学家使用酸和碱的解离方程时，他们给 Keq 起了一个特殊的名字：酸（或碱）解离常数。
