Question

Differentiate
Some properties of acids and
bases.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Basis Acid Base

Definition An acid is any chemical compound once dissolved in water produces a solution with hydrogen ion activity more than purified water A base is an aqueous substance that could absorb hydrogen ions.

Strength Relies on the concentration of the hydronium ions Relies on the concentration of the hydroxide ions

Examples Acetic acid CH3COOH and sulphuric acid Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Ammonia

Characteristics (Physical) Would depend upon the temperature acids would look solid, liquid or in the form of gas. It would also have a sour taste. Bases would feel slippery and solid in nature except ammonia which is gaseous. It would have a bitter taste.

Disassociation Acids would release hydrogen ions (h+) when mixed with water Bases would release hydroxide ions(OH-) when mixed with water

Test with Litmus Would turn litmus paper red Would turn litmus paper blue

Answer 2

Explanation:

Acid is a kind of chemical compound that when dissolved in water gives a solution with H+ ion activity more than purified water. A base is an aqueous substance that donates electrons, accept protons or release hydroxide (OH-) ions. An acid is a proton donor.On the other hand, the pH value of base is greater than 7.0.
