Acids: sour taste, color changes in plant dyes, react with metal to produce H gas, react with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce co2 gas, aqueous acid solutions conduct electricity Base: taste bitter, feel slippery, color changes in plant dyes, aqueous base solutions conduct electricity Bronsted acid- proton donor; monoprotic, diprotic, triprotic Base- proton acceptor Strong acids/bases: Acids and bases that are completely ionized when dissolved in water are called strong acids and strong bases Strong/weak/non-electrolyte: Step 1 Is it one of the seven strong acids? Step 2 Is it of the form Metal(OH)n? Then it's a strong base. Step 3 Is it of the form Metal(X)n? Then it's a salt. Step 4 Does it's formula start with 'H'? It's probably a weak acid. Step 5
