What is the difference between acid and base?
Acids
•)Acids are sour in taste.
•)The pH values of acids are basically less than 7
•)Strength of Acid depends on Concentration of Hydrogen ions
•)Acids turn blue litmus to red
•) Acids do not change the colour of red litmus
Base
•)Bases are bitter in taste.
•)The pH values of bases are basically more than 7
•)Strength of Base depends on Concentration of Hydroxide ions
•)Bases do not change the colour of blue litmus
•)The bases change the colour of red litmus to blue.
These are the main differences between acids and base.

Acid is a kind of chemical compound that when dissolved in water gives a solution with H+ ion activity more than purified water. A base is an aqueous substance that donates electrons, accepts protons or releases hydroxide (OH-) ions.
