Acid and Bases
Acids and bases are important groups of chemical substances. They are found in laboratories, industries, food, medicines, and many household products. Acids generally have a sour taste and produce hydrogen ions in water. Bases usually have a bitter taste, feel slippery, and produce hydroxide ions in water. The strength of an acid or base is commonly measured by the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14.
