2 Major differences between acids and bases (biology)
2006-10-09 14:29:15 · 11 answers · asked by thunderbabe128 2 in Science & Mathematics ➔ Biology
Acids are H+ donors and Bases are H+ acceptors in chemical processes. Example: HCl gives H+ in the solvent water to become H+ and Cl- and is an acid. This is only one of several definitions of acids and bases but in my opinion the easiest to understand.
Also, acids have a pH below 7 and bases have a pH above 7. The pH means the molar concentration of [H+] ions, 1 pH meaning 1 * 10 ^ -1 moles of [H+] ions per liter and 2 pH meaning 1 * 10 ^ -2 moles per liter. So, each 1 decrease on the pH scale means 10 times more [H+] ions and each 1 increase means 10 times less [H+] ions.
Glad to help.

Differentiate Between Acids And Bases
2017-01-09 11:47:18 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
acids are acidic on a PH scale 1-6.9
7 is considered to be neutral
7.1-14 are considered alkalitic or base on this same scale.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
1 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkalitic.
The human body's PH is 7.35 - 7.4

Ok i dont know wat level you need so ill go from basic up. An acid would sting to touch whereas a base is soapy. Acids have a pH of <7 and bases have >7. More technically an acid is a proton donor (donates a hydrogen ion) and a base is a proton acceptor. Umm... oh ya a base is an alkali in aqueous solution. To test for difference between an acid and a base you can add 0.1M H2SO4 and observe the temperature change. If it is an acid then the temp will remain somewhat the same, if a base the temperature will increase as it will start to neutralize, which is an exothermic reaction (one that gives out heat)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
1-6.9 = acidic
7 = neutral
7.1-14 = basic

Ph. Anything below neutral 7 is acidic, anything above is Basic.

Acid are sour to taste; base is soapy to touch;
Acid turns blue litmus to red; base turns red litmus to blue.
