An acid is a substance the produces hydrogen ions (H+) when mixed with water while a base produces hydroxide ions (OH-). Another models says that and acid donates or gives away a proton (H+) while a base accepts a proton.

Bases: contain the hydroxide (OH-) ion, taste bitter, feel slippery, are caustic, are electrolytic in solution.

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.
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!
Differentiate the hydrolytic products of the DNA and RNA?
components of nucleic acids: ribose sugar nitrogenous bases phosphoric acid
What ions are used to group acids and bases?
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
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.
What characteristics must bases have in order to react with litmus?
Characteristics of Bases · taste bitter · soluble in water · feel slippery · react with acids · pH of more than 7
What is the differentiate between acids and bases?
An acid is below 7 on the pH scale and bases are above 7 on the pH scale. An acid can be a hydrogen donor, and a base is a hydrogen acceptor.

What characteristics of bases?
Characteristics of bases are: bitter in taste, soapy feel on fingers, mostly react with acids and precipitate salts, turn red litmus paper blue, contain metal oxides or hydroxides.
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
Do acids and bases exist in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
Why acids and bases are important to everyday life?
acids and bases are important!
Do bases neutralise acids?
Yes. All bases neutralise acids.
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
