Interpretation : The properties of acids and bases are to be compared and contrasted.
Concept Introduction : Acids are used to produce hydrogen ions by ionization and bases are used to produce hydroxide ions by ionization in an aqueous solution.
Answer to Problem 6LC
Acids and bases form either weak or strong electrolytes in the aqueous solution and color changes occur due to indicators.
Bases are bitter and acids are sour.
Explanation of Solution
Acids and bases form aqueous solutions which are either strong or weak electrolytes.
Acid, as well as base, will make an indicator's color change.
Ions are produced by both acids and bases.
Acids are sour while bases are bitter.
Hydrogen gas is produced in the aqueous solution of acids with metals (zinc, magnesium).
Any substance with a pH between 0 and 7 is regarded as acidic, whereas substances with a pH between 7 and 14 are regarded as bases.
