- taste bitter
- burns your skin
- when it reacts with an acid it neutralises and forms in salts
- a high pH indicates its a base
- it dissolves dirt and grease
- when it reacts with oils and grease it makes soap
- it is highly corrosive
- we use bases in everyday life
- is any compound that yields hydroxide ions
- they are found in cleaning and gardening products
- above 7 in pH
- when reacted with an acid neutralization happens

∙ 14y agohave a pH > 7
release OH- ions
turn litmus paper blue
feels 'slippery' (soap is a base)
corrosive
reacts with acid to form salt and water
often used in cleaning products
taste bitter

∙ 9y agoThe first of five properties of bases in chemistry is a soapy or slippery feeling on your fingers. The second property is that it will react violently with an acidic substance. A third property is that a base will conduct electricity. A fourth property is the pH level is higher than 7. A fifth property is that many basic solutions taste bitter.

What causes properties of bases?
Hydroxide ions cause bases to have properties.
Acids give soaps their useful properties?
Nope, bases actually gives soaps their useful properties.
What are three characteristic properties of an base?
1. Bases generally have bitter taste. 2. Bases turn red litmus to blue. 3. Bases are slippery 4. Most bases sting on the skin. 5. Arrhenius bases are OH- ion donor
When properties of acids and bases are lost?
neutralization :)
What properties do acids and bases have?
they both have to be stablelized

What are the properties of a cylinder?
A cylinder has 2 congruent bases, parallel lines called "elements" that connect the bases, and can have neither concave nor convex properties.
What property is acidity?
Acids can conduct electricity, have a sour taste, and bases will neutralize its properties. Bases can conduct electricity, feel slippery, and acids will neutralize its properties.
What are some non properties of bases?
They are ontologically inadequate
What is it called when properties of acids and bases are lost?
neutralization :)
