You certainly can! Vinegar is a weak acid. You taste that quite distinctly! There is also a burning sensation to a strong acid.

Base, or alkaline, substances are quite often slimy feeling. I would avoid extremes of either type.

What dose alkali feel like?

Things that are strongly alkaline tend to taste bitter. Most foods that humans consume, however, are either neutral or acidic so there are not many foods that humans regularly consume that are alkaline. (Milk has a pH of 8, but its mild alkalinity is mostly covered up by the presence of lactose. Apples, which taste mild, have a pH of 5.)

In which pH does toothpaste go to?

It would be obvious that a toothpaste with its soapy texture, it is a basic or alkaline substance.0-7 is regarded acidic, whilst 7-14 is basic, or alkaline. 7 is ofcourse neutral pH. Bases have a soapy feel, such as toothpaste, and acids have a sour, sharp, bitter taste, such as lemon juice (citric acid). So with that understanding i would say basic. Yet that's what i think, i only do chemistry.)


Which is a good alkaline water purifier in India?

Some time ago I was having a gastric problem so my family doctor told me to take care of the water I drink because if the water is acidic then it makes you feel gastric. So he suggested me to having alkaline water because the pH level of alkaline water is above 7 which means more smooth and alkaline. So I purchased a Tesla Healthy Life alkaline water purifier. Because they provide premium alkaline water purifiers at an affordable cost
