Question

define acid and bases?​

Answer 1

• Acid, any substance that in water solution tastes sour, changes the colour of certain indicators (e.g., reddens blue litmus paper), reacts with some metals (e.g., iron) to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions (acid catalysis).
• bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, release hydroxide ions, are slippery to the touch, can taste bitter if an alkali, change the color of indicators, react with acids to form

Answer 2

an acid base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid or base it can be used to determine pH . several theoretical framework provide alternative conception of the reaction mechanism and their application in solving related problems are called acid base theory example bronsted - lowry acid- base theory.
