An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!
The presence of a proton.
Perhaps the acid H2SO4 ( sulfuric acid ) and the base NaOH ( sodium hydroxide )
Acid = Hydroiodic acid Base = Potassium hydroxide (or any Potassium salt of weak acid)
If the substance produces Hydrogen ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is an acid. If it produces Hydroxide ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is a base.
no

An acid solution has a pH under 7.A base solution has a pH over 7.
The presence of a proton.
A strong acid dissociates more completely than a weak acid.
Perhaps the acid H2SO4 ( sulfuric acid ) and the base NaOH ( sodium hydroxide )
Conjugated pair of acid / base
Acid = Hydroiodic acid Base = Potassium hydroxide (or any Potassium salt of weak acid)
If the substance produces Hydrogen ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is an acid. If it produces Hydroxide ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is a base.
A strong acid or base completely breaks into ions when mixed with water.
Simply put, an acid donates protons ( H + ) to solutions and bases accept protons in solutions.
The conjugated acid of HCO3- is: H2CO3, carbonic acid.Conjugated pairs of acid and base always differ ONE (1) proton (H+): The acid WITH and the base WITHOUT it.So, on the other hand the conjugated base of HCO3- is: CO32-, carbonate.
