1) The document discusses acids, bases and neutrals. It defines acids as substances that donate protons and increase hydrogen ion concentration in water, while bases accept protons and increase hydroxide ion concentration.
2) Acids are described as having a sour taste and being sticky, while bases are bitter with a slippery texture. Acids can be solids, liquids or gases depending on temperature, while bases are mostly solids except for ammonia.
3) When acids and bases of equal strength are added to a solution, the solution will remain neutral as the chemical properties of the acids and bases destroy each other.
2. Lets Think for a moment.
Q: There is a clerk at the butcher shop, he is five feet ten inches tall, and he wears size 13 sneakers. What does he
weigh?
A: Meat.
Q : Achmat have a loaf of bread, every time he eat it, he eat a half (1st half of loaf then half of the remained bread
each time ). How long will it take him to finish the bread?
A: 1). How would I know?
2). After 3 time
3).never finish
4). After 4 times

Characteristic Acids Bases
Molecular Level An acid is a substance that, when
dissolved in water increases the
concentration of hydrogen ions in
solution.
It is a proton donor
A base is a substance
that, when dissolved in
water, increases the
concentration of
hydroxide ions in solution
It is a proton acceptor
Taste Sour Bitter
Texture Sticky, give sharp stinging pain in a cut Slippery
Physical Depending on the temperature, acids
can occur in solid, liquid or gaseous
form
Mostly solids except
ammonia which is a gas.
5. ACIDS, BASES AND NEUTRALS CONTI.
Neutral?
Acids destroy the chemical properties of base
Bases destroy the chemical properties of acids
Upon adding acid and base of equal strength in the solution, the solution
will remain as original
