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.


Do bases or acids feel rough?

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).


Are acids slipper?

I would say you are asking if acid is slippery. Bases have a denaturing effect on proteins that makes them slippery. If you touch bases, like drano or soap, you would find them slippery. Acids simply feel like water.


Do acids feel slippery on the skin?

Some acids can feel slippery on the skin due to their ability to react with oils and fats, creating a soap-like substance. However, this sensation can vary depending on the type and concentration of the acid. It's important to handle acids with caution as they can cause skin irritation or burns.


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.


Is acids and bases corrosives?

Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases


Are nonmetals oxides acids or bases?

just like poo


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.
