sour in taste
acid + base= salt + water

lewis acid _ accept electron
bases guve oh- ion in solution
soapy in touch
acid + base = salt + water
give conjugate acid
lewis base _ donate electron
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.
