Answer:

Guy above me is correct.

1 common acid that is used on a daily basis is Hydrochloric Acid in your stomach. It actives the enzyme pepsin into pepsinogen to degenerate proteins. Another acid is vinegar which is used in cooking and cleaning.

A base I use on a daily basis is Tums as it has sodium bicarbonate, a common base used to neutralize stomach acids. Another one is ammonia which is used for hair and cleaning products.
