acids and bases are important!
Esters are neutral compounds
Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.
For example, ionic compounds: inorganic acids, salts, bases; many organic compounds, etc.
Acids are compounds that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, bases are substances that release hydroxide ions in water, and salts are compounds formed by the reaction between an acid and a base. Acids have a pH less than 7, bases have a pH greater than 7, and salts are formed through a neutralization reaction.

Indicators are compounds that react with acids and bases to make certain colors. (:
Carbon itself is a non-metal and does not react with acids or bases. However, compounds containing carbon in various forms like organic compounds can react with both acids and bases. Carbon dioxide, produced when carbon-containing compounds are burned, can react with water to form carbonic acid, which is a weak acid.
Ksp is only for ionic compounds that can produce a precipitate, thus acids and base can not produce a ppt when mixed together. acids and bases are always soluble.
For example, ionic compounds: inorganic acids, salts, bases; many organic compounds, etc.
These compounds are called pH indicators.
Esters are neutral compounds
They are both corrosive and can burn skin
A chemical compound that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases is called a buffer. Buffers help to stabilize the pH of a solution by absorbing excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions, thereby minimizing changes in pH when strong acids or bases are added.

Salts are ionic compounds, products of reactions beween acids and bases.
