There's a variety of acids and bases in food, you can not actually categorize food as acidic or alkalizing accurately
As a Health Fact, one's diet should be about 70%-80% of Alkalizing foods and 20%-30% of Acidic foods.
Alkalizing Fruits:
Lemon
Lime
Avocado
Tomato
Grapefruit
Watermelon (is neutral because of its massive water content)
Rhubarb
Acid Forming Foods:
- Meats
- Dairy Products
- All fruits except for the few listed above
Alkalizing Foods:
- Vegetables
I guess more than half are acidic
What else can I help you with?
What do most bases do in solution considering that most acids ionize in solution?
Most bases in solution dissociate into ions to produce hydroxide ions (OH-) which can accept protons from acids. This is the basis of the Arrhenius theory of bases.
Can bases be found in foods and in cleaning products?
Because they are successful, for example soap.
What is the significance of acid and bases in your industry?
Acids and bases are chemical substances that release ions when dissolved in water. Acids are compounds that release positive hydrogen ions in water. Bases release hydroxide ions, which are compounds made of an oxygen and a hydrogen. Acids and bases are used around the house for cleaning, but the levels of acids and bases in the body are also important. The body needs a neutral pH and controls the amounts of acids and bases through processes involving the kidneys, lungs and blood. Acids and bases are found in foods, the environment and in chemicals including pharmaceuticals. The pH levels in the blood are required to stay neutral, which is at a level of 7. When a dieter eats acidic foods, the body uses a buffering system to neutralize the positive ions released from the acids. Conversely, bases are also controlled to keep the body from becoming too alkaline.
Why are some acids not allowed in foods?
Some acids are not allowed in foods due to safety concerns. Excess consumption of certain acids can be harmful and cause health issues. Regulating the use of these acids helps ensure the safety and quality of food products for consumers.
What determines the strength of acids and bases?
The strength of acids and bases is determined by their ability to donate or accept protons (H+ ions). Strong acids readily donate protons, while strong bases readily accept protons. Weak acids and bases have less tendency to donate or accept protons, respectively. Additionally, the stability of the resulting conjugate base or acid also affects the strength of acids and bases.
What are some common characteristics of a acids and bases?
i got my science book in front of me :). so easy. Acids: Hydrogen ions causes foods to taste sour may burn you dissolve in inorganc acids. Bases: when dissolved in water forms hydroxide ions (OH) hydroxide ions contain hydrogen and oxygen atoms. some bases break up fats and oils. some bases taste bitter. WARNING: to check if its an acid or a base do not taste or touch. im serious u can die get knocked out get burned.
Where do acids and bases have uses?
Acids and Bases are used in basically everything. All cleaners are usually bases or weak acids, that help remove stains, by reacting with the substance. Some weak acids and bases are used in foods, for example vinegar is a base and citric acid (From lemons etc). is obviously an acid. Please respond if this did not fully help you understand acids and bases uses.

Is acids and bases corrosives?
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases

Do acids and bases in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
What can acids and bases do alone or together?
bases neutralise the acids

Why acids and bases are important to everyday life?
acids and bases are important!
Do acids and bases exist in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
