Answer 1

1. OH (hydroxide)

2. by adding the acid of the same amount

3. salt and water

4. acid turns blue litmus paper red, it's solution is always high in hydrogen ions, they corrode active metals, they neutralize bases, it is sour in taste.

5. bases turns red litmus paper blue, it's solution is always high in hydroxide ions, they neutralize acids, it is bitter in taste

ps do not taste this substances. this are based on facts.

Answer 2

Thats chemistry but...

1 - OH- ions

2 - add acid

3 - water and a salt

4 - neutralised and produce water when added to a base, donate H+ ions

5 - neutralised by acids, accept H+ ions

Answer 3

1. OH- ions

2. By adding acid

3. acid+base -> salt+water

4. Acids H+ donor

5. Bases are H+ acceptor

Answer 4

1)Bases produce OH- ions in aqueous solutions.

2) Acids and bases are neutralized when they react with each other. These reactions are called neutralization reactions.

3)The products of a neutralization reaction are a salt and H20.

4)Properties of Acids

- taste sour acids change litmus

- change litmus paper from blue to red

- their aqueous (water) solutions conduct electric current (are electrolytes)

- react with bases to form salts and water

- produce hydrogen gas (H2) upon reaction with an active metal (such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, zinc, aluminum)

5)Properties of Bases

- taste bitter

- feel slippery or soapy

-  turn red  litmus to blue

- their aqueous (water) solutions conduct electric current (and are electrolytes)

- react with acids to form salts and water

Good Luck!
