Characteristics of Acids vs Bases

 Acids                                                                           
  • Taste sour
  • Feel sticky
  • Pink/Red Litmus paper
  • Produces hydrogen ions
  • Increases amount of H+ in a solution
  • Breaks apart HCl-
  • 1-6.9 Ph 
  •  Bronstead-Lowery
  • Donate protons (H+)
  • Produce conjugate bases after the acid protonates

Bases
  • Taste bitter
  • Feel slippery
  • Blue Litmus paper
  • Produce hydroxide ions
  • High OH- concentration=High Ph
  • 7.1-14 Ph
  • Bronstead-Lowery
  • Accept protons that the acid donated
  • Suck in H=
  • Produce conjugate acids
