<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
False
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
Bases have some of the following properties;
- They have a bitter taste
- They have a slimy, or soapy feel on fingers
- Most bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
- Strong bases may react violently with acids.
- Bases turn red litmus paper blue
<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
An acid
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
- It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
- All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.
Answer: The balanced equation is
.
Explanation:
The given reaction equation is as follows.

Number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.
- Li = 1
- H = 1
= 1
Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.
- Li = 1
- H = 2
= 1
To balance this equation, multiply Li by 2 and
by 2 on reactant side. Also, multiply
by 2 on product side.
Hence, the equation can be rewritten as follows.

Now, number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.
- Li = 2
- H = 2
= 2
Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.
- Li = 2
- H = 2
= 2
As there are same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. Hence, the equation is now balanced.
Thus, we can conclude that the balanced equation is
.
