Acids contain hydrogen and produce hydronium ions in water. They have a sour taste, are corrosive, and react with metals. Common acids include hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Acids are used to make paper, paint, detergents, and fertilizer. Bases contain hydroxide ions and have a bitter taste and slippery feel. They are also corrosive and conduct electricity. Common bases are used to make soap, cleaners, and antacids. Strong acids and bases fully dissociate in water, producing more hydrogen or hydroxide ions, while weak acids and bases only partially dissociate. A neutralization reaction between an acid and base produces a salt and water
