When dissolved in water, these substances donate hydrogen ions (H⁺) and increase the concentration of H⁺ ions. They typically taste sour and can corrode metals.
Bases: When dissolved in water, these substances donate hydroxide ions (OH⁻) or accept hydrogen ions (H⁺) and decrease the concentration of H⁺ ions, and also bitter in taste and feel slippery.
Salts: When an acid and a base react, a salt is formed, and water is a byproduct. They are composed of an anion (negative ion) from the acid and a cation (positive ion) from the base.
