Question

Answer

2. acid turns blue litmus to red
3. acid solution conduct electricity.
4. acid give off H+ ( hydrogen) ions in water .
5. acid react with metal to form hydrogen gas
6. acid react with metal carbonates to form carbon dioxide gas

Answer

Characteristics of Acid are -:

1.pH < 7
2.Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)
3.Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas
4.Increases the H+ concentration in water
5.Donates H+ ions
6.Turns blue litmus indicator red

Answer

*Acids change the colour of litmus from blue to red.
*They convert the colour of Methyl Orange from Orange/Yellow to Pink.
*Acids turn the pink colour of Phenolphthalein to colourless.
*Acids can conduct electricity.
*Some Acids are highly corrosive in nature which means that they corrode or rust metals.
*Acids tend to evolve hydrogen gas whilst reacting with an active metal such as Zn, Mg, etc.They produce H+ ions when mixed with water.
*Acids lose their acidity when mixed with a base.
