Answer 1

Answer/Explanation:

Acids:

Physical ⇒ Sour Taste, Increases the concentration of hydrogen ions when added to water

Chemical ⇒ Corrosive (Burns your skin and breaks down other materials), Forms hydrogen gas when it comes in contact with a metal, Forms salt and water when added to a base

Example: Tomatoes

Bases:

Physical ⇒ Bitter taste ( Never taste or smell a substance unless your parent/guardian tells you that it is okay), Slippery feeling(never touch a substance unless your parent/guardian tell you that is okay)

Chemical ⇒ Increases the concentration of hydroxide ions when added to water, Forms salt and water when added to an acid
