In industry, acids and bases are used in various reactions. Sulfuric acid, one of the most important industrial chemicals, is used to manufacture fertilizers for agriculture, to make man-made fibers, paints and dyes, and to purify petroleum products.
In daily life: without the strong acid present in our stomachs, we would not be able to digest food. More importantly, an organism needs to be able to control the level of acid within its cells for life to be possible. The world’s oceans are able to sustain life in part because the level of acid (or pH) of the water is kept constant through acid–base chemistry. In the same way, the pH of living cells is tightly regulated to allow cells to maintain their structural integrity, and for cellular processes to function.
Acids have a sour taste, and many of the sour-tasting foods with which we are familiar are acidic. Vinegar, for example, is diluted acetic acid (normal household vinegar is a 3% solution of acetic acid), and gives salad dressings and pickled vegetables their tart tastes

Mineral acids are used in many sectors of the chemical industry as feedstocks for the synthesis of other chemicals, both organic and inorganic. Large quantities of these acids – especially sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid – are manufactured for commercial use in large plants.
