Acids are neutralized with bases and bases are neutralized with acids; buffers are useful for the stabilization of the pH of a solution.

Don't confuse between (quasi)stabilization of the pH of a solution and the neutralization of a solution.

Where do acids and bases have uses?

Acids and Bases are used in basically everything. All cleaners are usually bases or weak acids, that help remove stains, by reacting with the substance.

Please respond if this did not fully help you understand acids and bases uses.


When a substance donates a proton during a chemical reaction that substance can be classified as a (an)?

When a substance donates a proton during a chemical reaction, that substance can be classified as an acid. This behavior is consistent with the Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases, which defines acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors. Examples of common acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
