acid
- sour in taste
- corrosive in nature
- turns blue and red litmus to red
- turns phenolphthalein from colourless to colourless
- turns methyl orange to red
- turns pH paper to red(strong acid) and orange(weak acid) with pH value below 7(7-weak 1-strong)
- releases H+ ions when added in water.
- it burns
base
- bitter in taste
- soapy in nature
- turns red and blue litmus blue
- turns phenolphthalene pink
- turns methyl orange yellow
- turns pH paper to blue(weak base) and purple(strong base) with pH value above 7(7-weak 14-strong)
- releases OH- ions when added in water
- it itches
What else can I help you with?
Is acids and bases corrosives?
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Do acids and bases in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
What can acids and bases do alone or together?
bases neutralise the acids
Why acids and bases are important to everyday life?
acids and bases are important!
Do acids and bases exist in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
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.
Do bases tastes bitter or acids?
Acids taste bitter.
How can you tell acids from bases?
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
How do acids respond to bases?
The reaction between bases and acids is a neutralization reaction.
What ions are used to group acids and bases?
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
Why are acids and bases considered strong?
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.
What is the role of acids and bases in paper production?
what is the role of acids and bases in the paper production?
