What is an Acid? Acid A sour tasting substance. A compound capable of neutralizing alkalis. Proton donors that yield hydronium ions in water solution, or electron-pair acceptors that combine with electron-pair donors or bases.

Acid

A sour tasting substance.

A compound capable of neutralizing alkalis.

Proton donors that yield hydronium ions in water solution, or electron-pair acceptors that combine with electron-pair donors or bases.

How can Acids be used? They can be used to remove rust and other corrosion from metals. They can be used in mineral processing. They can be used to produce salt, esters, and gasoline. They can effect dehydration and condensation reactions. They can alter the taste of foods and drinks. They can serve as preservatives.

What is a Base? Base A compound that reacts with an acid to form a salt, as ammonia, calcium hydroxide, or certain nitrogen-containing organic compounds. A group or molecule that takes up or accepts protons. Dictionary.com http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/bc/ahp/SDKC/Chem/graphics/dissociation.gif
