acids are substances that release hydrogen ions into solutions (has a pH number of 1-6)

bases are substances that accept hydrogen ions (has a pH number of 8-13)

-Nothing can be an acid and a base. Although there is a pH number in the middle, which is number 7 A.K.A. neutral.

What characteristics do acids and bases have in common?

Acids and bases are both electrolytes that dissociate into ions in solution, and they both can react with each other to form water and a salt. They also both can conduct electricity when dissolved in water.


Will acids and bases both burn skin?

No.


What are metals that react with both acids and bases?

Aluminum and zinc are metals that react with both acids and bases. In acids, they undergo a displacement reaction to form a salt and hydrogen gas. In bases, they react to form a salt and hydrogen gas as well.


What features is common to both acids and bases?

Both acids and bases are capable of producing ions in solution, known as dissociation. They can also conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Acids and bases can neutralize each other when they react together.


Do both acids and bases have a pH higher than 7?

yes because acids are corrosive


How are acids and bases alike?

Acids and bases are both types of electrolytes that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. They can both change the color of indicators, such as litmus paper, to indicate their pH levels. Additionally, acids and bases react with each other in a neutralization reaction to form water and salt.


What do you think about acids and bases?

I think acids donate electrons and bases accept electrons. Both acid and bases can be weak or strong, that is good or poor electrolytes. What else is there to think?

How is acids and bases alike and different?

Acids and bases are alike in the sense that they are both types of compounds that can dissociate in water to produce ions. They are different in terms of their properties: acids donate protons (H+ ions) in water, while bases accept protons. Acids typically have a sour taste, while bases have a bitter taste.


Are acids or bases corrosive to materials?

Both acids and bases can be corrosive to materials. Acids are corrosive because they can react with and break down certain materials, while bases can also be corrosive by causing damage through chemical reactions.
