This document discusses acids and bases. It defines them according to Arrhenius' theory as substances that produce H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases) when dissolved in water. Acids have a pH below 7 and taste sour, while bases have a pH above 7 and taste bitter. Examples of common acids and bases are provided, along with their properties. The document also introduces the pH scale and explains how pH values indicate acid strength. Finally, it describes an experiment to test solutions and identify them as acids or bases using blue-colored juice that changes color in their presence.
