Why does a strong acid react differently in water than a strong base?
Depending on the type of acid/base (Arrhenius, Bronsted, Lewis), the acid donates protons and a base doesn't but accepts protons, or the base donates OH- and the acid doesn't, or the acid accepts a pair of electrons and the base donates a pair of electrons. They are just different, that's why.
What the different between acid and base?

Is sodium hydrodgencarbonate an alkali or acid?

Can neutralize a base is this a physical or chemical property?
The neutralization of a base, or an acid for that matter, is a chemical property, because you are reacting the base with an acid to change the base into a different compound. For example: NaOH (a strong base) + HNO3 (a strong acid) ---> NaNO3 + H2O
Is manganese base or acid?
Neither manganese has a pH of 7 meaning it is neutral
Why using a base such as baking soda is effective in cleaning up a spill of an acid?
Because the base will NEUTRALIZE the acid. Meaning that if you were to touch it while it is neutralized, it will not do any harm to you.
