ACID

→ An acid is any chemical compound once dissolved in water produces a solution with hydrogen ion activity more than purified water

→ An acid is any chemical compound once dissolved in water produces a solution with hydrogen ion activity more than purified water

→ Examples -

Acetic acid CH3COOH and sulphuric acid

→ Would depend upon the temperature acids would look solid, liquid or in the form of gas. It would also have a sour taste.

→ Would turn litmus paper red

_______________

BASE

→ A base is an aqueous substance that could absorb hydrogen ions.

→ Relies on the concentration of the hydroxide ions

→ Examples -

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Ammonia

→ Bases would feel slippery and solid in nature (except for ammonia, which is gaseous). It would have a bitter taste.
