Differentiate acids and bases on the basis of ions, litmus and a daily-life example each.
View the correct answer
Acids produce H⁺ (or H₃O⁺) in water, taste sour, turn blue litmus red — e.g. lemon juice / HCl.
Bases produce OH⁻, feel soapy, turn red litmus blue — e.g. soap solution / NaOH.
They neutralise each other to give salt and water.
Mention one strong and one weak example if the question has marks for that.
