Acids- turn blue litmus paper to red, sour, pH < 7
Bases- turn red litmus paper to blue, bitter, slippery, pH >7
Neutral is a pH of 7

When properties of acids and bases are lost?
neutralization :)
What properties do acids and bases have?
they both have to be stablelized
What is it called when properties of acids and bases are lost?
neutralization :)
Acids give soaps their useful properties?
Nope, bases actually gives soaps their useful properties.
Compare the properties of acids with the properties of bases?
Acids are used in many fields of industry and in homes.The sulfuric acid is used to make many products,paper,paints,etc. Like acids,bases have many uses.Sodium hydroxide is a base used to make soap and paper.

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.

The interaction that occurs between acids and bases in which the properties of each is canceled out is?
Neutralisation
What ions are produced by acids in water and bases in water Give two properties each of acids and bases?
Hydronium (H3O+) for acids and hydroxide (OH-) for bases. Acids: pH less than seven, have a sour taste Bases: pH > 7, slippery, bitter taste
What is the interaction that occurs between acids and bases in which the properties of each are canceled out by the other?
neutralization
Could any of the properties of acids and bases be conductors of electricity?
Yes: most of them them being ions.
What properties cause an acid or a base to be strong or weak?
This depends on the level of dissociation of acids or bases.
What are some general properties of acids and bases?
There are many different properties of bases. 1) Acids to have a sour taste 2) Acids release H- ions 3) Acids have a pH below 7. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ACIDS: 1. Acids have a SOUR taste 2. All acids are SOLUBLE in water 3. Acids solutions turn BLUE litmus paper RED 4. Acid solutions have a pH values < 7 5. Most acid solutions are CORROSIVE 6. All dilute acids CONDUCT ELECTRICITY due to the presence MOBILE IONS in solution 7. React with reactive metals (above H in Reactivity Series) to form Salt & Hydrogen Gas 8. React with Metal Carbonates to form Salt, Carbon Dioxide & Water 9. React with Bases/Alkali to form Salt & Water Neutralisation Reaction) empirical definition of acids: acids are aqueous solutions that have a sour taste, a pH higher than 7 and are conductive. empirical definition of bases: Bases are aqueous solutions that have a bitter taste and a pH lower than 7.
