Not necessarily. Acid is just used for very important research and experiments. And bases are used for bases. Sorry if I'm not helpful. :(

Could any of the properties of acids and bases be conductors of electricity?
Yes: most of them them being ions.
Is any pure liquid a conductor of electricity?
All solutions that contain ions are good conductors of electricity, such as: acids, bases, salt water. Dschennai
What Electrical conductivity in acids and bases?
No. Pure water does not conduct electricity, but when something is put into water and dissociates (breaks apart), then electricity can travel across those ions. But this has nothing to do with pH.
Is a property of acids?
it will turn blue litmus paper redAll acids dissociate fully or partially, into ions and give protons in the aqueous medium.
What can acids and bases do alone or together?
bases neutralise the acids
Could any of the properties of acids and bases be conductors of electricity?
Yes: most of them them being ions.
Strong acids are good conductors of?
Electricity this is true
What characteristics do acids and bases have in common?
Acids and bases both are conductors of electricity. Both also react with litmus paper and the strength of both acids and bases is dependent on the concentration of the ions they release.
Is any pure liquid a conductor of electricity?
All solutions that contain ions are good conductors of electricity, such as: acids, bases, salt water. Dschennai
Why are solutions of acids and bases often good conductors of electricity?
cause pickles are cucumbers that have shrank when the oompa loompas ate them
What Electrical conductivity in acids and bases?
No. Pure water does not conduct electricity, but when something is put into water and dissociates (breaks apart), then electricity can travel across those ions. But this has nothing to do with pH.
What property is acidity?
Acids can conduct electricity, have a sour taste, and bases will neutralize its properties. Bases can conduct electricity, feel slippery, and acids will neutralize its properties.
Do bases and acids conduct electricity?
Yes, they both have a charge and therefore both can conduct electricity.
Why are some liquids and some gas conductors of electricity?
molten metals are liquids that conduct electricity (mercury is molten at room temperature)electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity (acids, salts, or bases either dissolved in water or molten)ionized gases conduct electricity (unless ionized gases are excellent insulators)
All acids and bases contain what that causes them to conduct electricity?
ions
Why do acids and bases conduct electricity in water when pure water does not?
acids, salts, and bases have electrically charged ions in solution. neutral substances don't.
Is there anything acids and bases have in common?
They both have water in common, and both conduct electricity.
