Question

What are the charactaristics of acids and bases

Answer 1

Answer:

Acids taste sour while bases taste bitter. An acid reacts with metals to produce bubbles of hydrogen gas while a base feels slimy to the touch. Acids turn blue litmus paper red while bases turn red litmus paper blue.

Answer 2

hope this helps u

acids :-

• sour in taste
• conduct electricity
• turns blue litmus to red
• corrosive in nature
• it reacts with metal to form salt and hydrogen gas
• it react with metal carbonate and hydro carbonate to salt and carbon dioxide and water
• it react with base to form naturalization reaction
• it react with metal oxide to form salt and hydrogen gas

base :-

• bitter in taste
• turns red litmus to blue
• non corrosive
• poor conductor of electricity

• it react with acid to form naturalization  reaction
• Non-metal oxides react with bases to produce salt and water.

• Alkalis (bases that are soluble in water) react with the metal to produce salt and hydrogen gas. For example reaction of zinc with sodium hydroxide.
