Answer:
1] acid
Acidity is a characteristic property of acids. Acidic substances are usually very sour. Apart from hydrochloric acid, there are many other types of acids around us. Citrus fruits like lemons and oranges contain citric and ascorbic acids while tamarind paste contains tartaric acid.
2] base
Bases turn red litmus paper blue while the blue litmus paper stays blue. They taste bitter and also feel soapy. Some other common examples of bases include sodium bicarbonate that is used in cooking and household bleach.
3] salt
Apart from sodium chloride, other common salts are sodium nitrate, barium sulfate etc. Sodium chloride or common salt is a product of the reaction between the hydrochloric acid (acid) and sodium hydroxide (base). Solid sodium chloride is made of a cluster of positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions held together by electrostatic forces.
