1. State 3 properties of acids , bases and salts each .
Answers
Answer:
Acids have a sour taste. Lemons, vinegar, and sour candies all contain acids.
Acids change the color of certain acid-base indicators. Two common indicators are litmus and phenolphthalein. Blue litmus turns red in the presence of an acid, while phenolphthalein turns colorless.
Acids react with active metals to yield hydrogen gas. Recall that an activity series is a list of metals in descending order of reactivity. Metals that are above hydrogen in the activity series will replace the hydrogen from an acid in a single-replacement reaction, as shown below:
text{Zn}(s)+text{H}_2text{SO}_4(aq)rightarrow text{ZnSO}_4(aq)+text{H}_2(g)

Acids react with bases to produce a salt compound and water.
Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Indicator compounds such as litmus can be used to detect bases. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale.
Properties of Salt
Crystals or white crystalline powder.
Transparent and colourless in crystalline form – rather like ice.
Crystallises in the isometric system, usually in the form of cubes.
Soluble in water (35.6g/100g at 0°C and 39.2g/100g at 100°).
Slightly soluble in alcohol, but insoluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid.
