Question

Substance A is tested to see if it is an acid or a base. A piece of iron is placed

in substance A and the iron starts to wear away over time (corrosive).
Substance A has a sour taste, and will produce a burning/tingling feeling
when touched with a bare hand. Is Substance A an acid or a base?
