There are many different properties of bases.
1) Acids to have a sour taste
2) Acids release H- ions
3) Acids have a pH below 7.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ACIDS:
1. Acids have a SOUR taste
2. All acids are SOLUBLE in water
3. Acids solutions turn BLUE litmus paper RED
4. Acid solutions have a pH values < 7
5. Most acid solutions are CORROSIVE
6. All dilute acids CONDUCT ELECTRICITY due to the presence MOBILE IONS in solution
7. React with reactive metals (above H in Reactivity Series) to form Salt & Hydrogen Gas
8. React with Metal Carbonates to form Salt, Carbon Dioxide & Water
9. React with Bases/Alkali to form Salt & Water Neutralisation Reaction)
empirical definition of acids: acids are aqueous solutions that have a sour taste, a pH higher than 7 and are conductive.
empirical definition of bases: Bases are aqueous solutions that have a bitter taste and a pH lower than 7.

Bases produce OH- ions in water solution.

∙ 7y ago- acids contain the ion H+
- bases contain the ion hydroxyl, (OH)-
- bases contain a metal in the molecule
- acids contain a nonmetal or an ion in the molecule

What common properties do some acids and bases have when they come into contact with solid substances?
Both can be corrosive, eating away at solids
What are some common things that acids and bases have together?
The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases explains a number of things. Arrhenius's theory explains why all acids have similar properties to each other (and, conversely, why all bases are similar): because all acids release H+ into solution (and all bases release OH-). The Arrhenius definition also explains Boyle's observation that acids and bases counteract each other. This idea, that a base can make an acid weaker, and vice versa, is called neutralization. hope that helped
What can react with Acids?
Many acids will react with bases and, depending on the acid, some metals.
What are some chemical effects of acids and bases?
they can hert you
What are the three properties of acids and bases?
Acids:Many acids are corrosive, meaning they destroy body tissue and clothing, and many are also poisonous. Acids react with some metals to produce hydrogen gas. Solutions of acids conduct an electric current because acids break apart to form inos in water.Bases:Like acids, many bases are corrosive. If you are using a base in an experiment and your fingers begin to feel slippery, it might mean that some of the base got on your hands. Solutions of bases conduct an electric current because bases for ions in water.Hope this helps!
Does aluminium react with acid?
Aluminium is amphoteric which means that it displays some of the properties of both acids and bases, it will react with some bases, such as Sodium Hydroxide and also with some Acids such as concentrated Nitric Acid

What are some examples of buffers?
Buffers are weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH....
What are some bases found at home?
bases as in chemical acids or bases bases soap, any kind of detergent, etc.

Where do acids and bases have uses?
Acids and Bases are used in basically everything. All cleaners are usually bases or weak acids, that help remove stains, by reacting with the substance. Some weak acids and bases are used in foods, for example vinegar is a base and citric acid (From lemons etc). is obviously an acid. Please respond if this did not fully help you understand acids and bases uses.
What are some non properties of bases?
They are ontologically inadequate
Acids or Bases exists as a crystalline solid in an undissolved state?
There are a great many different acids and bases. Most of them do exist as crystalline solids when they are not dissolved in water. Some do not. Pure sulfuric acid (also known as fuming sulfuric acid) is a liquid.
What are two properties of organic acids?
2 properties of acid would be the sour taste and the reaction with some metals
