Contrasting properties of acids and bases
Here is a list which contrasts their properties:
Acids turn blue litmus paper red. Bases turn red litmus paper blue.
Acids give off H+ (Hydrogen) ions in water; bases give off OH- (Hydroxide) ions in water.
Acids generally taste sour due to the sour H+ ion; bases taste bitter due to the OH- ion; but they may have other tastes depending on the other part of the molecule.
Bases are usually soapy in nature .
Acids corrode active metals ; Bases denature protein
Acids have a pH less than 7 ; Bases have a pH greater than 7
Similar properties of acids and bases
Here is a list of properties that are common to both acids and bases
When you dissolve an acid or base in water, it makes ions. This makes the water conduct electricity better.
The stronger the acid (or base), the more ions are produced, so the conductivity of the solution increases.
They can both conduct electricity.
When an acid reacts with a base, a salt is formed
they both can carry and share ions
Examples of common things which are acidic
Milk (as it contains lactic acid)
Lemon juice
Stomach acids
Apple juice
Vinegar
Water and soft drinks (Carbon dioxide reacts in water to form carbonic acid)
Oranges
Pineapples
mango
