what properties do acids and bases have?

Answer 1

Reb is correct as far as he goes, although there is not much on the basic side in our diets. Those that are basic are only very mildly so. We take in mostly acidic compounds from lemonade (citric and ascorbic acids) and pop (carbonic acids) to mayonnaise, pickles, and salad dressings (vinegar). Look in your reefer and learn. Many of the inner workings in your body involve organic acids.

Bases can also react with (some) metals to form anionic metallic oxides like aluminates and chromates.

Acids are essentially free protons. Bases are free hydroxyl (OH) ions. Acids react to form salts and hydrogen gas or with bases to form water (neutralization).

Answer 2

The bar of cleansing soap is a base a million) that's bitter 2) turns purple litmus paper blue 3) It shows extra homes of a base if heavily pointed out The lemon is an acid interior the experience that a million) an unripe lemon is an organic and organic acid Lactic acid 2) it has bitter style 3) turns blue litmus paper purple

Answer 3

Acids will react metals. They have a sour taste and have a Ph below 7.

Bases will react with non metals. Theyhave a bitter taste and have a pH above 7.

Our body is primarily acidic in nature. The foods we eat are both acids and bases. We wash our clothes and our bodies with alkaline materials.

Answer 4

acids: lewis acid can donate a proton (proton donor)
base: lewis base can accept a proton (proton acceptor)

but generally,
acid is:
- sour taste
- turns blue litmus paper to red BRA


base is:
- slippery
- turns red litmus paper to blue RBB
