Answer:
Answer given below:)
Explanation:
Acids and Bases play an important role in chemistry. We see them everywhere in our day to day lives, from our cleaning agents; soaps and detergents, to baking soda. Acids and bases are 2 categories of corrosive substances. Any compound with a pH value between zero to seven is considered acidic, whereas a pH value between seven to fourteen is a base.
The main differences between acid and base are:
Acids: 1)They have a sour taste.
2)They have pH less than 7.
3)They turn blue litmus paper red.
Bases: 1) They have bitter taste.
2)They have pH greater than 7.
3)They turn red litmus paper blue.
