well... acid burns stuff like jelly fish but those pesky bases are turkey repellants but thats not my proplem

Examples of acids include hydrochloric acid, citric acid, and sulfuric acid. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide, ammonia, and magnesium hydroxide. Examples of neutrals include water, carbon dioxide, and ethanol.
Bases turn turmeric into red color, whereas acids and neutrals do not have any affect on the solution (it remains yellow in color).

Salts are the products of reactions between acids and bases.
Bases have a chemical formula that typically includes hydroxide ions (OH-), such as NaOH for sodium hydroxide. Bases differ from acids in that they have a bitter taste, feel slippery, and turn red litmus paper blue. In reactions, bases neutralize acids to form salts and water.
Bases tend to recieve an H+ ion in a titration, and acids tend to give an H+ ion in a titration. Bases have a pH greater than 7 and acids have a pH less than 7.
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+), while bases form hydroxide ions (OH-).
Salts are formed by the reactions between acids and salts; a salt contain an anion from the acid and a cation from the base.
Acids release H+ ions in water, which can lower the pH of the solution. Bases release OH- ions in water, which can increase the pH of the solution. Acids have a pH below 7, while bases have a pH above 7.
Acids and bases differ in strength due to their ability to donate or accept protons. Strong acids completely dissociate in water, resulting in a higher concentration of protons. Strong bases fully dissociate to release hydroxide ions, which can readily accept protons. Weak acids and bases partially dissociate, leading to lower concentrations of protons or hydroxide ions.
