Answer:
Acids:

1. They produce H⁺ions in water.
2. They are sour in taste.
3. Few acids are in solid state.
4. Acids turn blue litmus paper red.

Bases:

1. They produce OH^–ions in water.
2. They are bitter in taste.
3. Most of the bases are in solid state.
4. Bases turn red litmus paper blue.

5. What is an indicator?
Answer:
