What Is A Base?

 A base is the opposite of an acid. Because the stronger acid turn into more colour and stronger base turns into more darker colours. They are a substance that gets together with acid. 

The different types of acids and formulae:

Nitric Acid - HN03

Sulfuric Acid - H2S04

Hydrolic Acid - HCl

A base also has OH which is Hydroxide, which reacts together. 

And when acids and a base react together they neutralise (cancel out). 

Facts about bases:

  • Any of a water based subsequent are to be called acid base or neutral. And other Oils and non liquids are not acids or bases. 
  • And when Acids and bases reacts with each other they produce salt and water, and change the temperature of the liquid to a neutral ph.  
  • If you want to experiment and exactly know how to spot the difference of an acid and base, you have to wet litmus paper. And if you put them together acid litmus paper turns into red and bases change the litmus paper into blue. 
  • Acids and bases contains electricity because they both have ions and when in water they turn into ions. 
  • Acids and bases are very important to our human body because our stomach has acids and bases. Because they have to digest our food. 
  • Acid and bases have reactions with metal because they release hydrogen gas.
