Question

write the difference between the properties of acid and base ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acids turn blue litmus paper red. Bases turn red litmus paper blue.

Acids give off H+ (Hydrogen) ions in water; bases give off OH- (Hydroxide) ions in water.

Acids generally taste sour due to the sour H+ ion; bases taste bitter due to the OH- ion; but they may have other tastes depending on the other part of the molecule.

Bases are usually soapy in nature.

Acids corrode active metals ; Bases denature protein.

Acids have a pH less than 7 ; Bases have a pH greater than 7
