Acids have a sour taste eg.lemon juice,vinegar 2.they have a pH of less than 7 3.turns blue litmus paper red in color Chemical Properties: 1.Acids react with bases to form salt+water 2.Acids are corrosive in nature 3. Acids release H+ ions in water(aqueuos solution) BASES-Substances that produce OH- ions in aqueous solution Physical Properties: 1.Bases have a bitter taste 2. they have a pH of more than 7 3.turn red litmus paper blue Chemical Properties: 1.they are corrosive as well 2.reacts with acids to form salt+water 3.
