2. What properties do all acids have? 3. Why should you never use taste as a method for testing an unknown substance?

4. What is used to detect the presence of acids?

10. What can you use to detect the presence of a base?

11. What are some common bases that we use every day?

12. How does an antacid help reduce heartburn?

13. What happens when acid and base are mixed

14. What is used to determine the pH of a substance?

15. Describe how the pH scale works. In other words, what is it actually measuring?

17. Why is pH important to our environment?

18. Describe how salt is formed.

Pls help

2. They taste sour, are electrolytes, and react with active metals to produce hydrogen.

3. You should NEVER taste unknown chemicals because many are poisonous and can destroy body tissue.

4. Most often dyes are used to detect acids. The dyes will turn a certain color which indicates the presence of an acid.

10. You can use litmus to detect wether a solution is a base or an acid.

11. The most common bases I can think of would be: baking soda, laundry detergent, or soaps.

12. Antacids work by neutralizing the acids in your stomach.

13. When an acid and base are mixed together, they produce a salt.

14. Normally pH meters are used, but you can also calculate the pH using math. (yuck)

15. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. It ranges from 0-14, with 7 being neutral.

17. pH is very important to the environment as it helps us measure and monitor for safe water conditions. A rise or fall from the average water pH level can indicate chemical pollution.

18. Salt is formed when an acid and base react with each other. It then has a cation of the base, and anion of the acid.

I hope those helps!! (:
