Acids and bases have completely different properties. But to clarify a little bit more and to point out contrasting relationship, here are the points:-
- Technically, acids are electron acceptors and bases are electron donors.
- Acids and bases neutralize each other producing salt and (but not necessarily) water, in some cases.
- Acids and bases are also found in human body- bile is basic (acts on lipid molecules, site of action is intestines) and HCl (found in stomach) is acid
- Acids have pH in range 0 -6, bases in 8 - 14 and water is NEUTRAL with pH 7.

Acids have a pH level under 7. Bases are above 7, while neutral substances are exactly 7. Water is extremely close to having a neutral pH, but can vary depending upon its origin.
A base can be added to an acid, or vice versa, to neutralize a substance.

What is the relationship between an acid and a base?
Both forms a salt and water.
Explain how the relationship between the strengths of an acid and its conjugate base and of a base and its conjugated acid?
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.
What is the relationship between acid salt and base does it have to do with pH levels?
Yes the pH levels are different

a
What are products in a reaction between an acid and a base?
The products in a reaction between an acid and a base are called salts.

it has (red acid) and a (blue base)
A salt is obtained as a reaction between a nonmetal and a metal B a base and water C an acid and oxygen D a base and an acid?

An acid-base reaction that leaves no excess H+ or OH-
Is potassium sulfate a base or acid?
Potassium sulfate is neither an acid nor a base, but a salt formed by reaction between an acid and a base.
What is the type of reaction between an acid and alkaline?
This is an acid base neutralization.
What neutralization is a reaction between what?
acid and base :)
Difference between acid base titration and redox titration?
Acid base titration involves neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. whereas redox titration involves redox reaction between an oxidizing agent and reducing agent.
