Question

write the key differences between acid and base.

Answer 1

Acids and bases are two types of corrosive substances. Any substance with a pH value between 0 up to 7 is considered acidic, whereas a pH value of 7 to 14 is a base. Acids are ionic compounds that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H+). Ionic compounds are a compound with a positive or negative charge. Bases, on the other hand are ionic compounds that break apart to form a negatively charged hydroxide ion (OH-) in water.

Answer 2

(*)Acid: chemical compound forming hydrogen ion when ionized in water..(*) Base: chemical compound which reacts with acids to form salt and water only.
