Acids are different in that they contain Hydrogen as a main element Hydrogen is highly reactive and when it combines with chemicals such as chlorine gas it produces a precipitate which is Hydrochloric acid it can also combine with sulfates and produce sulfuric acid, bases on the other hand contain an element that will react with the hydrogen and it causes it to separate into hydrogen gas and what ever other elements are in the acid.
