pH comes from the term “power of Hydrogen”, or the hydrogen ion concentration present in a given solution. It helps to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. Alkalinity or basicity are alternative terms for the same chemical characteristic.

Answer 2

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.

The alkaline earth metals are shiny, silvery-white, and somewhat reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure. All the alkaline earth metals readily lose their two outermost electrons to form cations with a 2+ charge.
