Answer 2

Hello friend

Here goes your answer

◆ Acids are sour in taste.
◆Bases are bitter in taste and also soapy to touch.

◆Acids turn blue Litmus red.
◆ Bases turn red litmus blue

◆Acids have pH value less than 7 ◆Bases have pH value greater than 7

◆Acids furnish H+ ions on dissolution in water.

◆Bases furnish OH - ions on dissolution in water.

◆ Mineral acids are colourless, but sometimes sulphuric acid turns yellow because of impurities.Some organic acids are white coloured solids.
◆Bases are colourless except the hydroxides of iron and copper acids.

◆ Acids are produced by heating non metals with oxygen, giving non metal oxide and this on dissolution water given the corresponding acid.
◆ Bases are produced by heating metals with oxygen giving metal oxide and the sun resolution and water gives corresponding base.
