∙ 10y ago- Acids taste sour.
- They turn blue litmus red.
- They have a pH less than 7.
- Acids are proton donors - when they are put into water, they release a proton (H+)
- Strong acids dissociate fully in water. Weak acids only partially dissociate.
- Acids react with metals to form a salt and hydrogen gas.
- Acids neutralise bases.

None of the above. Br- is neutral, with no acidic or basic properties
What acts like both an acid and a base?

How acidic is lysine?
Lysine, 2,6-diaminohexanoic acid is amfoteric, meaning it has BOTH 2 basic amino-groups (stronger) and 1 acidic carbonic acid group (-COOH). The acidic group is weaker than both basic properties, so overall it is basic.
Is water a acid or basics?
Usually water is considered neither acidic nor basic. It is neutral. But technically it is an amphoteric substance, meaning it has both acidic and basic properties.
What are properties of an acide?
They give a sour taste, they are corrosive, sometimes poisonous, they have a pH value below 7, they turn blue litmus paper red. These are the few basic properties of acid.
