Define mineral acid and mineral base.
1. Mineral acid is the acid which is derived from one or more inorganic compounds. All mineral acids form hydrogen ions and the conjugate base ions when dissolved in water. Example HCl, H2SO4.
2. Mineral base is the base which is derived from one or more inorganic compounds. All mineral bases form hydroxyl ions and the conjugate acid ions when dissolved in water. Example NaOH, Mg(OH)2.
