Properties of acids
- tastes sour
- reacts with metals and carbonates (corrosive)
- turn blue litmus paper red
- A pH lower than 7
- In a solution it produces hydrogen ions
with a conductivity test!

About 10 distinguish Acids and bases. ( written by and 11 year old)
Hydrogen ions give acids their acidic properties.
One way to distinguish between unsaturated and saturated fatty acids is by looking at their chemical structure. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their carbon chain, while saturated fatty acids have single bonds. This difference affects their physical properties and health effects.
Acids are used in many fields of industry and in homes.The sulfuric acid is used to make many products,paper,paints,etc. Like acids,bases have many uses.Sodium hydroxide is a base used to make soap and paper.
They differ from each other by the cognent that it is connected to.
Organic acids tend to have sharp tastes and strong odors.
Slippery tastes bitter
DNA
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.
By their side chains. All amino acids have this structure: HOOC- C - NH2 Attached to that middle C is the side chain. They can have many different properties- They can be aromatic, polar, lipophilic, basic, acidic, Sulfur containing, among others There are 20 amino acids inside the human body, each has a different structure and function, due to its properties.
