Answer 1

Explanation:

Bases have a slippery feel when touched but acids do not have a slippery feel.

• An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions, H₃O⁺ in an aqueous solution. Here are some of its properties:

1. Their dilute solutions have a sour taste.
2. They have a burning effect on the skin and are highly corrosive on metals.
3. They have the ability to change the colors of indicators.
4. They react with bases to form salt and water only.

Examples of acids are:

                Hydrochloric acid                  HCl

                Tetraoxosulphate (VI ) acid H₂SO₄

               

• A base is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxide ions, OH⁻ in an aqueous solution.

1. They typically have a bitter taste.
2. They have a soapy feel
