Acid and Bases

Acid and Base

  • Are chemical opposites to each other
  • We measure them on a scale called the pH scale

Bases

  • Are also corrosive
  • Alkalis are bases that can dissolve in water.
  • There are strong bases like Sodium Hydroxide (this is also called Lye or Caustic soda).
  • They are weak bases like baking powder (bi- carbonate soda).
  • Taste bitter
