Question

Compare acids and bases. Be able to explain their properties and give examples

Answer 1

Acids are the EXACT OPPOSITE of bases, but they're both still deadly. Base (or basic/alkali) is something in everyday thinks like toothpaste, milk, etc. But too much intake of bases can harm you, and if water has too much alkali, the fish living in it can die. Acidic, on the other hand, is very effective. Acids are usually in oranges, sodas, even your stomach has acids in it. Too much acids can rot your teeth, can cause "heartburn", even can give you a stomachache.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare acids and bases: Acids and bases both react with water and a lot of acids and bases are soluble in nature. Both acids and bases are electrolytes which means that they're good conductors of electricity. Acids and bases both produce ions in water solution.

Properties of acids and bases:

Acids: taste sour, smell acidic, feel sticky, and react with metals to form H2

Bases: taste bitter, usually don't have a smell, feel slippery, and react with many oils and fats

Examples:

Acids: vinegar and lemons, anything acidic

Bases: baking soda, antacids
