Question

Write the properties of acids and bases

Answer 1

Answer:

Acids

Acids taste sour, conduct electricity when dissolved in water, and react with metals to produce hydrogen gas. Certain indicator compounds, such as litmus, can be used to detect acids. Acids turn blue litmus paper red. The strength of acids is measured on the pH scale

Bases

Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Indicator compounds such as litmus can be used to detect bases. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale
