Answer:

Acids

  • They turn blue litmus red.
  • Have two forms - Organic or mineral acids.
  • Give H+ ions when dissolved in water.
  • Are sour in taste.
  • Value on pH scale is from 0 to 7.

Bases -

  • Turn red litmus blue.
  • Are corrosive in nature.
  • Give OH- ions when dissolved in water.
  • Are bitter in taste.
  • value on pH scale is from 7 to 14

Salts-

  • Formed by the reaction of Acids and Bases.
  • Are of 3 types - Acidic salts, Basic salts and Neutral salts.
  • Are ionic in nature.

Explanation:

Acid

Any of various water soluble compounds having a sour taste and capable of turning litmus paper red and reacting with a base to form a salt.

pH of acid is 0 to less than 7.

Realese H+ ion in aqueous solution.

Example- Sulphuric acid.

Nitric acid. etc

Base

Any of various water soluble compounds capable of turning litmus paper blue and reacting with an acid to form a salt and water.

Release OH- ion in aqueous solution.

pH of base is greater than 7 but less than 14.

Example- Sodium hydroxide

Magnesium hydroxide etc.

Salt

Salt is a compound formed by replacing hydrogen in an acid by a metal (or radical that acts like a metal).

or

Formed by the reaction of acid and base.
