  title: Common Acids and Bases
  description: Frequently encountered acids and bases with formulas.
  summary: "Common laboratory and household acids and bases with formulas, strength classification and whether they are acidic or basic: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric and acetic acid, sodium and potassium hydroxide and ammonia, plus phosphoric, carbonic, citric, hydrofluoric and other acids and several additional bases."
  use_when[2]: You need the formula and general strength of a common acid or base.,You are building an acid-base example or a safety table.
  caveats[2]: "Strength describes how completely a substance dissociates, not how hazardous it is: hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid but extremely dangerous.","Some bases, such as calcium hydroxide, are strong but only sparingly soluble."
