Properties of Acids
        tastes sour
        reacts with metals - corrosive (eats away)
        carbonates (CO₃^-2)  creates CO₂
                2HCl  +  Ca CO₃ --->  CaCl₂  +  CO₂   +   H₂O
        turns blue litmus(an indicator)red
 
        Important acids
                hydrochloric acid            HCl
                nitric acid                        HNO₃
                sulfuric acid                    H₂SO₄
                carbonic acid                    H₂CO₃
                Acetic acid                     HC₂H₃O₂

    Properties of Bases
        taste bitter
            tonic water - quinine
       feels slippery
            soap, ammonia
      turns red litmus (an indicator) blue

    Important bases
        Sodium hydroxide            NaOH
        Potassium hydroxide        KOH
        Calcium hydroxide            Ca(OH)₂
        Magnesium hydroixde      Mg(OH)₂
        Aluminum hydroxide         Al(OH)₃
        Ammonia                          NH₃
        Calcium oxide                    CaO
 

Reaction of bases and acids together -
            neutralization - creates water and salt
