If in mineral form, they would feel as rough as any other rock. If put directly on skin, however, bases feel soapy (because they literally turn your skin into soap) and acids feel like a burning sensation (for a short time; then they burn out your nerve endings and you can't feel anything).

Does acids feel rough or does a base?

Bases typically feel slippery or soapy to the touch, while acids do not usually have a specific physical texture like roughness.


What do acids and bases feel like?

Acids typically feel like a burning or stinging sensation, while bases feel slippery or soapy. It is important to handle both with caution and avoid direct contact with skin.


Why are bases sometimes describes as the opposite of acids?

Bases are the opposite of acids due to the fact they are a hydrogen ion acceptor and an acid is a hydrogen ion donor. In the many definitions of bases and acids, bases do the opposite of what acids do. -- In the Lewis definition, acids are electron pair acceptors while bases are electron pair donors. -- In the Bronsted-Lowry definition, acids are substances that donate protons while bases are substances that accepts protons. -- In practicality, acids lower the pH of a solution and bases increase the pH of a solution.


Identify what ions are produced by acids in water and bases in water. Give two properties each of acids and bases?

Acids in water produce H+ ions. Bases in water produce OH- ions. Two properties of acids are they taste sour and turn blue litmus paper red. Two properties of bases are they taste bitter and feel slippery.


What ions are produced by acids in water and bases in water Give two properties each of acids and bases?

Acids in water produce hydrogen (H+) ions, while bases in water produce hydroxide (OH-) ions. Two properties of acids are that they taste sour and can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas. Two properties of bases are that they taste bitter and feel slippery to the touch.

What is the chemical formula of bases and how do they differ from acids in terms of their properties and reactions?

Bases have a chemical formula that typically includes hydroxide ions (OH-), such as NaOH for sodium hydroxide. Bases differ from acids in that they have a bitter taste, feel slippery, and turn red litmus paper blue. In reactions, bases neutralize acids to form salts and water.
