It is not advisable to differentiate acids and bases through taste because some are toxic and inedible. But for those that are safe to ingest, acid tastes sour like vinegar and lemonade. Alkaline or basic solutions taste bitter like if you'vetried tasting soap detergent as you peel it open with your teeth.

<span>Acid is a molecule capable of donating hydrogen ion and they form aqueous solutions with a sour taste while base is a substance that accepts proton from proton donor and in aqueous solution, they have an astringent or bitter taste. Moreover, a good example for base is sodium hydrogen carbonate as baking soda or baking powder and for acid, the most common example is the acetic acid or vinegar.</span>

Answer:

Explanation:

Qualitative analysis in chemistry is a method used to determine the ions present in a solution chiefly by means of chemical reactions.

In this case, I suspect the presence of silver ions and/or barium ions. The first step is to add dilute HCl. This will lead to the precipitation of the silver ion as AgCl. If a white precipitate is formed upon addition of HCl then Ag^+ is present in the solution.

Secondly, I add a carbonate such as NH4CO3(aq). This will cause the barium ions to become precipitated as barium carbonate. Hence, the formation of a white precipitate when NH4CO3(aq) is added to the solution indicates the presence of barium ion in the solution.
