Acids are with a pH of less than 7, and bases are when something has a pH of more than 7. Basic solutions are such because of the Hydroxide Ion concentration ([OH-]) and acids are such due to the hydrogen ion concentration (Hydronium Ion) which is [H3O+] or you may see it as just [H+].

How acids and bases can be distinguished from each other using physical properties?
Acids- turn blue litmus paper to red, sour, pH < 7 Bases- turn red litmus paper to blue, bitter, slippery, pH >7 Neutral is a pH of 7
Do bases neutralise acids?
Yes. All bases neutralise acids.
What types of ions are in acids and bases?
Acids have H+ while bases have OH-
Do acids neutrilize bases?
Acids always tend to neutralize by reacting with bases.
What theory of acids and bases do conjugate acids and bases belong to?
Bronsted-Lowry

Nucleic acids can be distinguished from proteins by?
Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA and RNA.The five nucleic acids are:3 pyrimidine bases: Cytosine and Thymine (or Uracil in RNA) next to2 purine bases: Adenine and Guanine. None of them contains an amino group which is essential in protein formation of amino acids.Proteins are built of the building blocks called amino acids. (there are about twenty different amino acids)
Is acids and bases corrosives?
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Do acids and bases in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
What can acids and bases do alone or together?
bases neutralise the acids
Do acids and bases exist in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
Do bases neutralise acids?
Yes. All bases neutralise acids.
Why acids and bases are important to everyday life?
acids and bases are important!
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
How can you tell acids from bases?
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
What ions are used to group acids and bases?
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
What theory of acids and bases do conjugate acids and bases belong to?
