Acids + Bases pretty much neutralise each other.
They produce salt and water when mixed.
Acids taste bitter.
Bases are the opposite of acids due to the fact they are a hydrogen ion acceptor and an acid is a hydrogen ion donor. In the many definitions of bases and acids, bases do the opposite of what acids do. -- In the Lewis definition, acids are electron pair acceptors while bases are electron pair donors. -- In the Bronsted-Lowry definition, acids are substances that donate protons while bases are substances that accepts protons. -- In practicality, acids lower the pH of a solution and bases increase the pH of a solution.
A chemical compound that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases is called a buffer. Buffers help to stabilize the pH of a solution by absorbing excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions, thereby minimizing changes in pH when strong acids or bases are added.

Acids and bases are not equal; they are opposites on the pH scale. Acids have a pH below 7, while alkalines (bases) have a pH above 7. Acids donate hydrogen ions, while bases accept them.
The reaction between bases and acids is a neutralization reaction.
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.
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
bases neutralise the acids
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
acids and bases are important!
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.
Acids taste bitter.
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.
