It maintains its original hue. When placed in a base (metal oxide+water), it will turn blue.
It is put in drinking water and chlorine to make cleaning products.
Nothing noteworthy happens if mentos are put in tap water; they simply dissolve slowly.
The simplest way to answer this is to say that water can act as an acid or a base - giving up a proton (H+) or taking one. When put with an acid, it acts as a base and therefore accepts the proton from the acid. acid + base <---> acid + base HCl + H2O <---> Cl- + H3O+
water will put out fire
It will make the water white
Water is a base. But, let's say you put lemons in the water, it would now be an acid.
