Question

Hamid made this table to organize his notes on the properties of acids and bases.


Which property is in the wrong column?


taste sour

react with carbonates

conduct electric current

form hydrogen gas with metals

Answer 1

Answer : The property in the wrong column is, base form hydrogen gas with metals

Explanation :

Acid : It is a substance that has ability of donating a proton or hydrogen ion, $H^+$.

The properties of an acid are :

• Acids are sour in taste.
• It conduct electricity.
• The texture of an acid solution is sticky.
• It react with carbonates to give salt.
• It changes the color of the litmus paper to red.
• It react with a metal to give compound and hydrogen gas.

Base : It is a substance that has ability of donating hydroxide ion, $OH^-$.

The properties of an base are :

• Base are bitter in taste.
• It conduct electricity.
• The texture of an base solution is slippery.
• It changes the color of the litmus paper to blue.
• It does not react with a metal.

Hence, from the above information, we conclude that the property in the wrong column is, base form hydrogen gas with metals .
